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 pa- per, and bound in boards. The first Num- ber to contain all the laws of a General Na- ture already revised. 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, con- taining an Abstract of the Duties of a Justice of the Peace, taken from the most Appro- ved Authors, with the different forms of pro- cess in that office; as well as the most use- ful 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 un- handy to carry about, but also more liable to in- jury and therefore less durable; and as it is probable that the general laws will hereafter remain a considerable length of time with lit- tle 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.

Congress of the United States.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, May 22.
On motion, the house resolved itself into a committee of the whole, Mr. Dent in the chair, on the answer reported to the president's speech, which was read by the clerk, as follows:—
To the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES.
Sir, The interesting detail of those events, which have rendered the convention of Congress, at this time, indispensable (communicated in your speech to both Houses) has excited in us the strongest emotions.—Whilst we regret the occasion, we cannot omit to testify our approbation of the measure, and to pledge ourselves that no considerations of private inconvenience shall prevent, on our part, a faithful discharge of the duties to which we are called.
We have constantly hoped, that the nations of Europe, whilst desolated by foreign wars, or convulsed by intestine divisions, would have left the United States to enjoy that peace and tranquility, to which the impartial conduct of our government has entitled us; and it is now, with extreme regret, we find the measures of the French republic tending to endanger a situation so desirable and interesting to our own country.
Upon this occasion we feel it our duty to express in the most explicit manner, the sensations which the present crisis has excited, and to assure you of our zealous co-operation in those measures which may appear necessary for our security or peace.
Although it is the first and most ardent wish of our hearts, that peace may be maintained with the French Republic, and with all the world, yet we can never surrender those rights which belong to us as a nation; and whilst we view with satisfaction the wisdom, dignity and moderation, which have marked the measures of the supreme executive of our country in its attempts to remove by candid explanations, the complaints and jealousies of France, we feel the full force of that indignity which has been offered our country in the rejection of its minister. No attempts to wound our rights as a sovereign state will escape the notice of our constituents; they will be felt with indignation, and repelled with that decision which shall convince the world that we are not a degraded people, that we can never submit to the demands of a foreign power without examination and without discussion.
Knowing as we do the confidence reposed by the people of the United States in their government, we cannot hesitate in expressing our indignation at the sentiments disclosed by the President of the executive directory of France in his speech to the late minister of the United States. Such sentiments serve to discover the imperfect knowledge which France possesses of real opinions of our constituents. An attempt to separate the people of the United States from their government, is an attempt to separate them from themselves; and although foreigners, who know not the genius of our country, may have conceived the project, and foreign emissaries may attempt the execution, yet the united efforts of our fellow citizens will convince the world of its impracticability.
Happy would it have been, if the transactions disclosed in your communication had never taken place, or that they could have been concealed. Sensibly, however, as we feel the wound which has been inflicted, we think with you that neither the honor nor the interest of the United States forbid the repetition of advances for preserving peace; and we are happy to learn that fresh attempts at negotiation will be commenced: nor can we too strongly express our sincere desires that an accommodation may take place on terms compatible with the rights, interest and honor of our nation. Fully, however, impressed with the uncertainty of the result, we shall prepare to meet with fortitude any unfavourable events which may occur, to extricate ourselves from their consequences with all the skill we possess, and all the efforts in our power. Believing with you, that the conduct of the government has been just and
impartial to foreign nations, that the laws for the preservation of peace have been proper and that they have been fairly executed, the representatives of the people do not hesitate to declare that they will give their most cordial support to the execution of principles so deliberately and uprightly established.
The many interesting subjects which you have recommended to our consideration, and which are so strongly enforced by this momentous occasion, will receive every attention which their importance demands; and we trust that by the decided and explicit conduct which will govern our deliberations, every insinuation will be repelled which is derogatory to the honor and independence of our country.
Permit us in offering this address, to express our satisfaction at your promotion to the first office in the government, and our entire confidence that the pre-eminent talents and patriotism which have placed you in this distinguished situation, will enable you to discharge its various duties with satisfaction to yourself and advantage to our common country.
The clerk having finished reading the answer, the chairman proceeded to read it, paragraph by paragraph. The three first paragraphs were read without any thing being said upon them; but, upon the fourth being read,
Mr. Evans moved, that instead of "will be felt with indignation," should be inserted, "will be felt with sensibility" as a milder phrase; as he wished to avoid using expressions more harsh than was necessary.
Mr. Nicholas said, if his colleague would give him leave, he believed he had an amendment to offer, which would be proper to offer before one he had moved, as he believed there was a rule in the house which forbid the striking out a clause after it had been amended, and if the amendment he proposed obtained, it might be necessary to strike out a part of that paragraph. It was his intention to move a new paragraph, to be inserted between the first and second. He believed it would be in order to do so.
The chairman wished the proposition to be read
Mr. Nicholas asked if it was not always in order to insert a new section.
The chairman believed it was, provided it was not intended as a substitute for another.
Mr. Nicholas said, he should candidly avow it to be his intention to insert several new sections. For the information of the committee, he would therefore, read the whole, though he meant at present, to move only one.
Mr. W. Smith was of opinion, that the amendment offered was wholly out of order as it went entirely to change the form of the answer; and before it could be considered, would require to be printed.
Mr. Nicholas said, if the gentleman could inform him how he could have introduced differently, he should be obliged to him. As its being a substitute, every new matter introduced might be so termed. He did not know how a new section could be introduced if there were any weight in the objections urged against the propriety of this.
Mr. Thatcher observed, the gentleman from Virginia had read three or four paragraphs in the form of amendments. He presumed he did not mean to add these, without striking out some part of the report. He wished him to say what part he meant to strike out, that they might see how the answer would stand when amended in the way he proposed. If they stood together, they would be inconsistent.
Mr. Giles presumed it was the object of the committee, to bring into view a comparison of ideas in some shape or other, and he thought the amendment proposed, was calculated to produce this effect. If he understood the answer as reported, it was predicated upon the principle of approving all the measures which had been taken by the executive, with respect to France, whilst the amendment avoided giving that approbation. The simple question was, which of the two grounds the house would take. He believed the best way of ascertaining this, would be to move to insert, & if the amendments were carried, to re-commit the report, to be made conformable to them.
Mr. Gallatin said, when an amendment was carried, which affected other
parts of a composition, it was not usual to strike out, but to re-commit.
Mr. Nicholas said, the present crisis was, in his mind, the most serious and important, which this country had experienced since the declaration of their independence: and it would depend much, perhaps upon the answer which they were about to return to the speech of the president, whether we were to witness a similar scene of havoc and distress to that which was not yet forgotten; such as had been paled through upon an important occasion, but such as could be entered upon, only as a last resource. The situation in which we stood with respect to France, called for the most judicious proceeding; it was his wish to heal the breach which was already too wide, by temperate, rather than wider by irritating measures. He hoped, on this occasion, they should get rid of that irritation which injury naturally produced in the mind. He declared he felt for the insult offered to Mr. Pinckney; and he felt more for him, from the dignity with which he had borne it, which had proved him a proper character for the embassy. He was sorry that it should have been thought necessary by the French Republic to refuse to acknowledge him as the minister of this country; but he did not think it right to suffer this first impression to influence their proceedings upon this business. If the insult offered were a sufficient cause for war, let the subject be examined by itself, separate from all others; but if it be our wish to proceed with negotiation, he thought it the wisest and best to adopt a firm but moderate tone.
As he before observed, he felt for the situation of the gentleman employed by his country; he thought it was a trying one, and did great honor to himself, & he deserved the thanks of his country for the good temper with which he had sustained it; but Mr. N. confessed the business did not strike him with all the force with which it seemed to have impressed the mind of that respectable character. He did not consider the insult offered to government as going further than the ill treatment which our minister had received. He believed that the circumstances which appeared in the papers laid before them, in some degree accounted for the conduct of the French government. It appears that at first the Directory were willing to receive Mr. Pinckney, but when they saw his credentials, they refused to acknowledge him. The circumstance he said, seemed to give a character to the transaction which explained its meaning.
It will be recollected, said Mr. N. that since the cause or imagined cause (let it be one or the other) of complaint against this country, that there has been an intercourse between the two governments on this subject. It was to be expected that if there had been any intention in government to have come to an adjustment of the differences betwixt the two countries, our minister would have been clothed with some power of accommodation. Mr. N. supposed that when the French Directory, agreed to receive him, this was their opinion; but upon seeing his letters of credence, they found that no such power was given, or intended. [He read the object of his mission from the president's speech, viz. "faithfully to represent &c."]
If these, he said, were all the objects expressed in his letters of credence, and if there had been more, the president would doubtless have informed them of it, the matter perfectly justified the character he had given of it.
He made these observations, because he thought, on an occasion like the present, the truth should be made to appear, and though an insult had been offered to this country, which could not fail to produce irritation, yet that irritation should stop short of the point where it would produce action, as he was certain any steps taken which might hazard the peace of the country, would not conduce to the welfare of its citizens.
There was a subject, he said, which seemed to have involved itself with this and of which he should take some notice, viz. a charge against certain persons with being attached to the French cause. It might, perhaps, be the opinion of some members of that house, more particularly of strangers, that he was influenced by party zeal in favor of the French, a zeal which it had been blazoned forth existed to an im-
moderate degree in this country. He had frequently heard insinuations of this sort, which he considered so groundless as to be worthy only of contempt; but when charges of this kind were made in the serious manner in which they were now brought forward, it was necessary to call for proof. Who, said he, is the man who has this proof? He knew of none. For his own part, he had no intercourse with the French, but of the commonest kind. He wished those who possessed proofs of improper conduct of this kind, would come forward and shew them—few who are the traitors of whom so much is said.
He was not afraid of the impressions any such charges brought against him might make upon his constituents, or where he was known; indeed he had not the arrogance to believe the charge was levelled against him, though he believed he was frequently charged with a too great attachment to the French cause.
When he first came into that house, he found the French embroiled with all their neighbors, who were endeavoring to tear them to pieces. He knew what had been the situation of this country when engaged in a similar cause, & was anxious for their success. Was there not cause for anxiety, when a nation contending for the right of self-government, was thus attacked? Especially when it is well known, that if the powers engaged against France had proved successful, this country would have been their next object. Had they not, he asked the strongest proofs (even the declaration of one of their governors) that it was the intention of England to declare war against America, in case of the successful termination of the war against France. It redounded to the honor of the citizens of this country, he said, that they had never shown a disposition to embark in the present European war.
He would mention another reason for his feeling so sensibly in favour of the French cause, it was because he found so much indifference to it in this part of the country. He shuddered for his own country when he found such a disposition prevailing in any part of its citizens. He could not calculate upon the effects. He could not account for it; especially when he found that a disposition unfriendly to Republican Government had arisen in the country. It was to counteract this disposition, that he opposed a contrary zeal, though he was not conscious of having been over zealous.
(The remainder of this speech in next.)
LONDON, April 1.
In a respectable paper, printed at Edinburgh, entitled, "The Scots Chronicle," which arrived in town yesterday, there was the following paragraph:
Scots Chronicle Office, 1 o'clock. We shudder to relate the following intelligence this moment received from a correspondent at Glasgow:
"We are thrown into the greatest agitation and distress here, by letters just arrived from Ireland, which state that an action has taken place between a detachment of the British troops stationed in the province of Ulster and a body of the United Irishmen, in which the former were defeated, and a complete regiment, by some accounts said to be the 24th, cut to pieces."
We believe that the Editor of the Scots Newspaper has been misinformed, and that we have not to deplore the shedding of human blood, in consequence of the irritating and criminal procedure of Ministers in the province of Ulster. Rumours were circulating here some days ago of the same tendency; but every account from the North of Ireland concurs in stating the peaceable demeanour of the inhabitants. They have submitted without a struggle to have their cabins searched, and every thing that bore the shape of an offensive weapon, even to their pitchforks, carried away. The Northern Star, whose Independent spirit would not disguise a fact, complains only that in some instances, the potatoes and bacon of the poor people have been seized along with some rusty swords. It aggravates the horror of putting that industrious province out of the Constitution, that 2000 fowling pieces were not found in the whole of that sporting country.

CINCINNATI, June 2.
We hear from good authority, that the Little Turtle, the Great Miami chief, has refused the running the boundary line, stipulated at the treaty of Grosse Ville—and that a Large Belt from the Spaniards, is now travelling through the different nations. We have, however, the satisfaction to reflect, that the commander in chief is taking vigorous measures to prepare for the worst; and that we have perfect confidence in his vigilance, action and knowledge of the Indian character.
We think the Indians know too well when they are well off, (unless they have taken leave of their senses) to lift the tomahawk against the United States; but should they be so unwise as, we may anticipate, from the wisdom and abilities of our general, that those tawny Sans Culottes of the woods, would soon be made to bite the dust.

By a gentleman just from Charleston (S. C.) we are informed, that sometime between the 10th and 20th ult. a French gentleman landed at that place, and remained there only one night—that he procured guides to conduct him by the nearest route to St. Augustine, and set out the next day—that he had communicated to some of the friends to France at that place, that the exchange between France & Spain, of St. Domingo for the colony of Louisiana had taken place, and possession was to be given in a few days;—in consequence of which, the British had sent several armed vessels to endeavor to take possession of St. Augustine before it should be delivered into the hands of the French—that he (the French gentleman) was a general officer in the French service, and was on his way to that place in order to put it in the best possible state of defence before the meditated attack should be made by the British.
By accounts from Orleans of a very late date, we are informed that the mouth of the Mississippi has been blockaded up a considerable time by 3 British armed vessels.

Three Hundred Dollars Reward,
WHEREAS a certain Christopher P.

On or about the first inst. he was apprehended (as a suspicious character) in this town, and examined before several magistrates, but for the want of sufficient proof to detect him in his villainy, he was discharged. The fact is, the said Parnell is a villain, and is attempting to defraud sundry persons to the amount of 20,000 dollars. He left this town about the 10th inst. he rode in a chair, painted green, drawn by a gray mare, and went on the Newbern road, but on this side Trenton, took the road to Fayetteville, and most probably is passing through the back part of the state into the western counties.
