Abstract of an act to provide for the valuation of Lands and Dwelling Houses, and the enumeration of Slaves, within the United States.
For the purpose of making those valuations and enumerations, the different States are laid off in divisions, viz:
The state of New-Hampshire shall contain five divisions—Massachusetts nine—Rhode-Island three—Connecticut five—Vermont five—New-York nine—New-Jersey five—Pennsylvania nine—Delaware three—Maryland seven—Virginia eleven—Kentucky five—North-Carolina seven—Tennessee three—South-Carolina five—Georgia three.
The divisions in the state of Kentucky are as follows: The first division to consist of the counties of Madison, Lincoln, Garrard, Mercer, Washington, and that part of Franklin which lies on the south side of the Kentucky river; the second division to consist of the counties of Nelson, Shelby, Jefferson, Bullitt and Hardin; the third division to consist of the counties of Greene, Logan, Christian and Warren; the fourth division to consist of the counties of Mason, Fleming, Bracken, Campbell, Harrison and Bourbon; and the fifth division to consist of the counties of Fayette, Woodford, Scott, Clarke, Montgomery and that part of Franklin which lies on the north side of the Kentucky river.
A new county formed in any division, to be considered as part of said division; if formed of part of two or more divisions, the commissioners appointed by this act, to determine to which of the divisions it shall belong. One commissioner to be appointed in each division, who shall reside therein; and if the appointment of a commissioner in any division shall not be made during the present session of congress, the appointment to be made by the president, during the recess of the senate, and also grant commissions which shall expire at the end of the next session of congress. The commissioners so appointed to take and subscribe an oath, faithfully and impartially to discharge their trust; and entering on the duties without taking such oath, to forfeit and pay two hundred dollars. The commissioner first named and qualified in each state, to convene the others at such time and place as he shall direct; and a majority of those convened, shall have power to adjourn to such time and place, as they shall judge proper; and a majority of those to be appointed in each state, when convened, shall be a board, competent to any duties enjoined by this act. They shall appoint a clerk who shall hold his office at the pleasure of said commissioners, and who shall take an oath faithfully and diligently to discharge his trust; he shall keep a record of all the proceedings of said commissioners, &c. and on failure to discharge his duty, shall forfeit and pay one hundred dollars, and be discharged from office. Any commissioner failing to attend any general meeting, without a reasonable excuse, to be adjudged of by a majority of those present, at that or the next meeting, shall forfeit and pay ten dollars for each and every day he shall be absent.
The commissioners of each state, convened as aforesaid, shall divide their respective states into convenient assessment districts; in each of which, they shall appoint a respectable freeholder, as principal assessor, and such number of respectable freeholders, as assistant assessors, as they shall judge necessary, who shall take and subscribe the following oath, to wit: "I A. B. do swear or affirm, that I will, to the best of my knowledge, faithfully and
judgment, diligently and faithfully execute the office and duties of assessor for (naming the assessment district) without favor or partiality, and that I will do equal right and justice in every case in which I shall act as assessor;" and every assessor acting without having taken such oath, shall forfeit and pay one hundred dollars.
The assessors so qualified are to enquire after and concerning all lands, dwelling houses and slaves in their respective assessment districts; and to enumerate the said lands, dwelling houses and slaves, in the manner following, to wit: every dwelling house above the value of one hundred dollars, with the out houses erected, not exceeding two acres, in any case, shall be valued at the rate such dwelling houses, with the lot and appurtenances aforesaid are worth in money, with a due regard to the situation—All lands and town lots, except lots on which dwelling houses above the value of one hundred dollars, with the appurtenances, are erected as aforesaid, shall be valued by the quantity, either in acres or square feet, as the case may be, at the average rate which each separate and entire tract or lot is worth in money, in a due relation to other lands and lots, and with reference to all advantages, either of soil or situation, and to all buildings and other improvements of whatever kind, except dwelling houses above the value of one hundred dollars, and the out houses appurtenant thereto—And all slaves above the age of twelve, and under fifty years, except such as from fixed infirmity or bodily disability, may be incapable of labor, shall be enumerated: Provided that all property belonging to the United States, or any state; or which is permanently exempted from taxation by the laws of the state wherein the same is situated or possessed, shall be exempted from the aforesaid valuation and enumeration.
The assessors to require from each person owning or possessing taxable property, or having the care thereof, separate written lists, specifying in one, dwelling houses, their situation, the dimension of their area, their number of stories, the number and dimensions of their windows, of what materials built, whether wood, brick or stone; the number, description and dimensions of the out houses appurtenant to them, with the names of the owners or occupiers. Another respecting lands, specifying the quantity of each separate tract or lot, the number, description & dimensions of all wharves and buildings thereon, except dwelling houses above the value of one hundred dollars, and the out houses appurtenant thereto. The third list, respecting slaves, specifying the number above twelve, and under fifty years of age, with the name of the owner, possessor or occupiers. If any person shall deliver or disclose to an assessor, a false or fraudulent list, with intent to evade or defeat the valuation or enumeration directed to be made, such person shall be fined in a sum not less than one hundred, nor exceeding five hundred dollars. Any person failing or refusing to deliver lists as aforesaid to the assessor, when thereto required, unless prevented by sickness or absence from home, shall forfeit and pay one hundred dollars.
If any assessor shall fail to perform his duty within the time prescribed by legal instructions, (unless prevented by sickness or other unavoidable accident) he shall be discharged from office, and forfeit two hundred dollars.
Immediately after the valuations &c. are completed, the principal assessor in each assessment district, shall by written notices, posted in at least four of the most public places in such dis-
trict, advertise the place where said lists may be seen and examined; and during fifteen days after such notifications so published, appeals will be received and determined by him, relative to any error or excessive valuation.
Whenever any lands or dwelling houses, after valuation, shall be alienated or transferred, the surveyor of the revenue for the district, if it be a dwelling house, or an entire tract of land, shall charge the amount of the valuation to the purchaser, and credit the account of the person disposing of the same; but if a dwelling house or tract of land shall be divided, it shall be apportioned agreeable to the value of each part. New houses erected and inhabited after the first day of October next, or houses and lands exempted by law, from paying taxes, at the time of making the valuation, and shall cease to be exempted by law, shall be valued by the surveyor of the district in which they are situated, in the same manner and upon the same principles herein before prescribed. And when any dwelling house shall be destroyed or damaged by fire or other accident, the valuation shall be cancelled entirely, or reduced in proportion to the damage, as shall be equitable.
Each commissioner shall be allowed as a compensation for his services, 150 dollars in addition of an allowance of three dollars per diem, for each and every day, in going to, attending at and returning from any general meeting of the commissioners, or in visiting the several assessment districts. Each clerk to be allowed a sum, for the time he may be employed, not exceeding the rate of five hundred dollars per annum. Each assessor, other than principal assessor, one dollar and fifty cents per diem, for every day employed in collecting lists; and one dollar per diem, for every day employed in arranging lists, and making valuations and enumerations. Each principal assessor, to be allowed one dollar and fifty cents per diem, for each day employed in any business assigned to him in that department. And in addition to the foregoing compensations, the commissioners and assessors aforesaid, shall be allowed their necessary and reasonable charges for books and stationery.
All letters or packets to or from any commissioner, shall, within the state for which he is appointed, be conveyed by post, free of postage.
To defray the expences incident to the valuation and enumeration directed by this act, one hundred and fifty thousand dollars are appropriated.
Abstract of an Act to lay and collect a direct tax within the United States.
It is enacted, That a direct tax of two million of dollars is to be laid upon the United States, and apportioned in the following manner:
   Dol. C. M.     On the state of New Hampshire, 77705 30 2   Massachusetts, 260435 31 2   Rhode Island, 37502 8 0   Connecticut, 129767 0 2   Vermont, 46864 18 7   New York, 181650 70 7   New Jersey, 98387 25 3   Pennsylvania, 237177 72 7   Delaware, 30420 79 2   Maryland, 152501 95 4   Virginia, 345488 66 5   Kentucky, 37643 99 7   North Carolina, 192607 96 5   Tennessee, 18206 38 3   South Carolina, 112007 73 9   Georgia, 28814 87 5  
This tax is to be collected by the supervisors, inspectors and collectors of the internal revenues of the United States, under the direction of the se-
cretary of the treasury; and assessed upon dwelling houses, lands and slaves, according to the enumeration and valuation to be made under the act entitled, "an act to provide for the valuation of lands and dwelling houses, and the enumeration of slaves within the United States," and in the following manner:
Upon every dwelling house, which, with the out houses appurtenant thereto, and the lot whereon the same are erected, not exceeding two acres in any case, which shall be valued under the law aforesaid, at more than one hundred, and not exceeding five hundred dollars, there shall be paid two mills on each dollar of such valuation—Upon every dwelling house, &c. valued as aforesaid, at more than five hundred, and not exceeding one thousand dollars, there shall be paid three mills for each dollar—If more than one thousand, and not exceeding three thousand dollars, there shall be paid four mills for each dollar—If more than three thousand, and not exceeding six thousand dollars, there shall be paid five mills for each dollar—If more than six thousand, and not exceeding ten thousand dollars, six mills for each dollar—If more than ten thousand, and not exceeding fifteen thousand dollars, seven mills for each dollar—If more than fifteen thousand, and not exceeding twenty thousand dollars, eight mills for each dollar—If more than twenty thousand, and not exceeding thirty thousand dollars, nine mills for each dollar—If more than thirty thousand dollars, one cent for each dollar of such valuation.
Upon every slave enumerated according to the act aforesaid, there shall be assessed fifty cents.
The whole amount of the sums assessed on dwelling houses and slaves as above directed, shall be deducted from the sum apportioned to the state, and the remainder of said sum shall be assessed upon the lands within the state, according to the valuations to be made agreeable to the aforesaid act, and at such rate per centum, as will be sufficient to produce the said remainder.
If, on making the assessments, it shall appear that the sums to be assessed on houses and slaves in any state, will exceed the sum apportioned to such state, then there shall be deducted by the supervisor, from the sums to be assessed upon houses, such rate per centum, as shall be sufficient to reduce the whole amount of said assessments to the sum apportioned to such state.
The aforesaid tax shall be, and remain a lien on all lands and other real estate, and all slaves, for two years after the same shall become due and payable, which time shall be publicly notified.
All goods, chattels and effects shall be distrainable for said tax, except tools or implements of a trade or profession, beasts of the plough necessary for the cultivation of improved lands, arms or the household utensils, or apparel necessary for a family.
* Ten mills make one cent; and one hundred cents one dollar: therefore two mills per dollar, is equal to two tenths of one per centum.
MR. BRADFORD, Please to give the following a place in your paper.
A writer who addresses himself to the Citizens of Kentucky, in your Gazette of the 2nd instant, in effect, denies that he is the advocate, or friend of revolutionary measures—or that he wants Kentucky separated from the union. And he says if there are any such, they ought to be pointed out, and the charge confined to them.
Addressing myself also to the people of Kentucky, I perfectly agree

with this writer, that all such should be known. And as he has declared, and pledged himself to prove, if desired, that some of those who now circulate this report as to others—have themselves avowed it to be their wish to see this country separated from the United States. Now I do thus publicly and solemnly desire that all those persons who have avowed that they with this state should be separated from the United States, may be distinctly pointed out, and the charge proved on them. No doubt it is of the utmost importance to this country, that all such should be known, not only as it will tend to point out the enemies from the friends of their country—But as I flatter myself there are only a few who with a disunion, it will rescue the reputation of others from the suspicion which has gone far abroad, and which has been much increased by the activity of particular characters.
A CITIZEN OF KENTUCKY. August 24th, 1798.
LONDON, May 15. On Wednesday a meeting was held of the inhabitants of Chertsey, in Surrey, the right hon. Charles Fox in the chair, when it was resolved to form an armed Association in that parish, Sir Fox, Sir J. Mawby, and 17 other gentlemen are appointed a committee to carry the resolution into effect.
June 4. REBELLION IN IRELAND. London Gazette, Saturday June 2.
Dublin Castle, May 29, 1798. Official report from major general sir James Duff, dated Monastereven, May 29, 1798.
I marched from Limerick on Sunday morning, with sixty dragoons, the Dublin militia, their field pieces, with two curriole guns, to open the communication with Dublin, which I judged of the utmost importance to government. By means of cars for the infantry, I reached this place in forty eight hours. I am now, at seven o'clock this morning, (Monday) marching to surround the town of Kildare, the head-quarters of the rebels, with seven pieces of artillery, one hundred and forty dragoons, and three hundred and fifty infantry. I have left the whole country behind me perfectly quiet and well protected by means of the troops and yeomanry corps. I hope to be able to forward this to you by the mail coach, which will escort to Naas. I am sufficiently strong. You may depend upon my prudence and success. My guns were well manued, and the troops in high spirits. The cruelties that have been committed on some of the officers and men, have exasperated them to a great degree. Of my future operations I will endeavor to inform you.
JAMES DUFF.
Tuesday, 2 o'clock, P. M. Kildare. P. S. We found the rebels retiring from the town, on our arrival, armed. We followed them with the dragoons. I sent on some yeomen to tell them, on laying down their arms they should not be hurt. Unfortunately, some of them fired on the troops. From that moment they were attacked on all sides. Nothing could stop the rage of the troops. I believe from two to three hundred of the rebels were killed. We have three men killed and several wounded. I am too much fatigued to enlarge.
OFFICIAL ACCOUNT.
Dublin Castle, May 29. Yesterday advices were received from lieutenant colonel Potte, of the North Cork regiment of militia, that having advanced with 200 men against a very numerous body of rebels, his party was attacked when exhausted by the length of their march, and after killing a great number of the enemy, it was almost entirely cut off. Late in the evening general Lake arrived from Kildare, where he received the unconditional submission of a body of rebels, amounting to near 2000, who, after having delivered up their arms, and seven persons who were their leaders, were permitted to return into the king's peace. Their sorrow and repentance seemed complete. The town of Kildare, and the adjacent parts, have also begged to make an unconditional submission.
June 7. The unfortunate lord EDWARD FITZGERALD, we have received advice, died on Monday of the wounds he received in resisting those who apprehended him.
The reports respecting the Toulon fleet are to various and contradictory, that but little reliance can be placed on any of them. The most probable is, that is destined for the west of Ireland. It is even rumored, that six of them have been captured by earl St. Vincent's fleet, but we have not been able to learn on what authority the report rests. We hope, however, that some of our naval force will render a good account of them.
The grand master of Malta, at the particular solicitation of the emperor of Russia, has consented to receive the British fleet in the roads of Malta—a circumstance of the highest importance to our naval operations in the Mediterranean.
DUBLIN, June 3. Enniscorthy (about 48 miles south of Dublin, on a fine river, called the Slaney) is in the hands of the rebels, who have put every Protestant to death.
Mr. Moore, of Rathangan, having drawn out his corps against the rebels, his lieutenant, who was a Catholic, cried out that "he would not fire on his fellow citizens;" "Nor I—Nor I!" ran through the corps. On which Mr. Moore called out, "What! have I no loyal men amongst you to stand by me?" Six or seven men instantly stood forward, who, with Mr. Moore, as instantly lost their lives, and the traitors fled to join the rebels.
The progress of their rebellion has been by no means so alarming within the last three days as its outset threatened.
PARIS, May 20. News from Italy announces a suspension of arms between Great Britain and Spain. From Madrid we hear the same news.
Every thing is getting ready at Dunkirk for an invasion of the English islands of Jersey and Guernsey.
It is reported, the King of Sardinia has abdicated his throne and come to Paris.
The grand expedition has proceeded from Toulon. Its object is yet a profound secret.—Buonaparte is on board.
May 21. There have arrived in the upper Rhine 35,000 men, 22,000 of whom are from the army of England—the residue of the army of Mayence. We are entirely ignorant of their destination.
BOSTON, July 28. AUTHENTIC. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London, dated May 23.
The development of the dispatches of the American envoys, has made some little fluttering at Paris. Notwithstanding the vigilance of the ministers of police and justice; they have got into the papers; and made long faces in the palace of the directory. But these monarchs know how to get rid of the business;—they have but to fulminate a little louder against British influence, Pitt's guineas, and American delusion, through the medium of the Redacteur and Paine's Journal, and the wonder will subside; or at least if this will not do, they can throw all the blame on Talleyrand, dismiss him from office and send him on some foreign embassy, appoint another minister as bad, or worse than he, and continue their piracies. This is easily done at Paris. In this country loyalty, every day increases. Sheridan has volunteered his services against the French—the duke of Clarence has offered to go captain of the fleet to lord Duncan; but has been refused. The voluntary subscription exceeds two millions sterling. Ireland is, in a measure, tranquil; notwithstanding all the raw head and bloody bone stories, which a set of unprincipled scoundrels are continually writing and disseminating. We are in hopes to hear of a treaty of alliance, on the broadest basis, with the United States. Such an alliance would defy the world in arms; and in a few years conquer all the French, Dutch and Spanish dominions in the New World."
August 6. IRISH NEWS. It is said there is an English gentleman in town by the name of Monkhouse, who was passenger in the Pack-
et, lately arrived at Halifax, and who has British news papers, lent to the editor of the Centinel, down to the middle of June. It is of course impossible to obtain a sight of them at present, to gratify the anxiety of an impatient public, until themed and garbled by the impartial editor of that pure and uncorrupted Gazette.
Rumor says, however, that it has leaked out, notwithstanding the attempts continually made to conceal or prevent the truth—that the vaunted tranquility of Ireland has ended in a civil war; (if it so ought to be called) between the native Irish, and their infamous and brutal oppressors, dispatched from the royal presence of England by his Britannic Majesty, in person, to hold in fetters of iron, those honest but degraded people, the half starved peasantry of Ireland. It is said a dreadful battle has been already fought in the vicinity of Wexford, about sixty miles from Dublin, in which the Irish were the victors. If true, as it is confidently said it is, soon will the republican harp of emancipated Hibernia, sound its most melodious notes to an improving and enlightened yeomanry; no slaves to the foil, but the sovereign lords of the glebe.—A city of considerable population, has been said to have been consumed, and the whole British regiment destroyed in the terrible conflict. The Irish, it is reported, were armed with pikes and musketry. A few days will explain the truth with more precision. In the mean time, we have no doubt, the long expected explosion has taken place in all its horrors. Ireland is the last prop of British despotism, if this is thrown down the whole system of tyranny which has covered the world in tears and blood for this last century, in Asia, Europe and America, will be shook to its foundation.
These feathers plucked from Cæsar's wings, will make him "Soar an ordinary pitch." Chronicle.
August 6.
Last Saturday morning Mr. Monkhouse, arrived in town from London, via Cape Cod. He was coming passenger in the June packet, bound to Halifax, but meeting a vessel he got on board, and arrived as above. We hear he has brought London papers to the 10th of June, at which time affairs remained in England nearly in the same manner as per last account. The French had not at that time attempted a descent on England.—We have not been able to obtain a sight of the papers. 'Tis said they contain an account of three pitched battles between the Irish and their would be masters, in which the United Irishmen lost 5000 men, and the protectors of good government 1500. Gaz.
NEW-YORK, August 9.
A gentleman arrived in town yesterday from Boston, who failed from Falmouth in the British Packet, on the 12th of June; and on the 18th July, a few leagues from Halifax, got on board a fishing sloop, bound to Boston, where he arrived on Saturday last.
By this gentleman we are favored with the Star, of the 4th and 7th of June; which, besides many other articles, we are unable to give this day, afford the following latest European intelligence.
There had been a duel between Mr. Pitt and Mr. Tierney, in consequence of some observations on Mr. Pitt, in the house of Parliament, by the latter gentleman.—A brace a piece were discharged, but no blood shed.
The Star of June 4, says, "Mr Pitt continues very much indisposed, and it is said the Bath waters are recommended."
Buonaparte embarked on board the L'Orient, at Toulon, on the 19th May. The fleet of 15 sail of the line and 18 frigates, set sail with a fair wind—supposed for Ireland.
MOUNT-PLEASANT, (N. Y.) July 24.
Last Tuesday, the Editor of this paper was arrested in the name of the president, for re-printing a paragraph from the New-Windsor Gazette, supposed to be a libel against the president, in consequence of which he was under the necessity of giving bail for his appearance, in the sum of four thousand dollars—himself in two thousand, and two sureties in one thousand each.
PHILADELPHIA, August 9. The news of commotions in Ireland (to which we gave credit though circumspect) at length reaches us with confirmation the most complete. The country it is clear is in arms against its tyrants. These may exert for a while their power to keep the people in bondage; but for a people to be free it is sufficient they will it; the present struggle must end in the emancipation of Ireland, with or without the assistance of the French.
The Irish intelligence we this day publish, is chiefly London Gazette accounts; great allowance must therefore be made to come at the truth through them. They tell us of many of the rebels returning to obedience and delivering up their arms; this is a story which has been told since the dawn of these disturbances, and if true, the Irish would by this time have been without as much as a pike; but we see they have muskets, as well as pikes, and upon good authority we can say that they are provided with cannon and stores sufficient for a campaign.
In this intelligence there are two important features; first, that the republicans are embodied and have erected the standard of open opposition; they are no longer in scattered bands throughout the country looking for arms; but with arms in their hands, they have been able to lay to the royalists, here we are; they have fought them in three engagements, according to the British accounts, with various success; in one only is it asserted that the English were the victors.
Another feature in these accounts we deem of the utmost importance. It is recorded under the latest date, that the republicans in one quarter called upon the government troops, to know whether they could consent to fire on them, these troops, all except seven went over to the republicans. This was the way the revolution began in France, the troops refused to fire on the people; and whenever this is the case, the despot must prepare for a speedy end to his dominion.
Upon the first marked success which the Irish republicans obtain, we confidently expect to hear of from one third to one half the British fleet making for the Irish republican ports. Two thirds of the seamen on board the British fleet are Irish; one half of these United Irishmen. Whenever they find their brethren up at home they will not lie still.
The sweat and blood of Irishmen have contributed to the building of the British navy; they have been starved to keep it supplied; they have a right to claim a good portion of it, and we have not a doubt but that they will make good their claim. When this moment arrives, there will be an end to British tyranny on the seas; to British intrigue, and to the present monstrous system of government there. Englishmen who have kept the Irish in slavery will be freed by them; and both nations, will become worthy of our esteem and good will.
YELLOW FEVER.
For some days past much conversation has taken place on the subject of Yellow fever. As usual, not only a diversity, but a contrariety of opinion prevails among the Physicians. While by some it is affirmed to exist in a very malignant form, by others its existence is altogether denied. The most correct conclusion appears to be that a fever bilious and malignant has been attended with fatal effects in a few cases. The progress of this disease is so insidious that any prophecy respecting its extension or destruction would seem to merit but little attention.
The following advertisement is from the board of Health.
Health-Office, 7th August 1798. Whereas the board of Managers of the Marine and City Hospitals of the port and city of Philadelphia, having received information from the College of Physicians, "that a malignant contagious fever has made its appearance in Water Street, between Walnut and Spruce Streets, and in the vicinity thereof"—and the reports of Dr. Samuel Duffield and J. Parke, appointed particularly to examine that part of the city, specifying the particular cases found therein—Therefore Resolved, That in order to prevent as much as possible all communication with that part of the city that the Health officer cause the vessels now lying at the wharves between Tun Alley

and Jesse & Robert Waln's wharf, including the said wharf, to be removed, and that no vessel of any description whatever be suffered to come to said wharves until the further order of the board.
The Board also earnestly recommend to the inhabitants of that part of the city included between Walnut and Spruce streets and the east side of Front street and the river, and also those immediately in the vicinity thereof, to remove without the bounds of the city and liberties as speedily as possible.
By order of the Board of managers WILLIAM JONES, President. Attest. Timothy Paxson, Clk.
Lexington, August 29.
At a meeting of a large number of the citizens of the county of Bourbon, with some from the counties adjacent, at the town of Paris, on Monday the 20th instant, agreeably to a notice in the public papers—after taking into full consideration the present eventful crisis of our public affairs, the following resolutions were adopted.
1. Resolved, That the privilege of peaceably assembling together to deliberate upon the propriety or impropriety of public measures, and of expressing and publishing our opinions upon the same, is one which is dictated by the law of nature—is amply secured to us by both the federal & state constitutions, and is in itself inestimable: that all laws made to impair or abridge it, are void; and that we will, at all times, assert and exercise our right to this privilege in a constitutional manner, regardless of any law to the contrary.
2d. Resolved, that the present war by the United States against France is impolitic, unnecessary and unjust, in as much as the means of reconciliation with that nation have not been sincerely and unremittingly pursued; hostilities having been authorized against it by law, while a negotiation was pending.
3d. Resolved, that a war by the United States against France, will only then be necessary and proper, when engaged in for the defence of their territory, and that to take any part in the present political commotions of Europe will endanger our liberties and independence. That an intimate connexion with the corrupt and sinking monarchy of Britain ought to be abhorred and avoided.
4th. Resolved, that justice and our public interest both dictate, that an equitable treaty with France, could it be obtained, ought yet to be ratified, without regard to the ceremony of courts & cabinets, or punctilio of any kind.
5th. Resolved, that standing armies are dangerous to liberty, and ought not to be exercised in free governments—that a well organized militia are the most proper, and the only safe defenders of our country—that for that purpose the general and state governments ought to provide them with arms and ammunition—that as they have neglected to do this, every free man ought to consider it as his duty to provide both for himself.
6. Resolved, that the powers vested in the president, to raise an unlimited number of troops, when he shall think necessary, and to borrow money on the credit of the United States, without restriction as to the interest to be paid on the loan, are dangerous and unconstitutional.
7th. Resolved, that the alien law is inhuman, unjust and unconstitutional—that it is degrading to the American character, as a nation of equal liberty, as a land of freedom, and as an asylum to the stranger—that it arms the president of the United States with arbitrary, dangerous, and despotic powers.
8th. Resolved, that the law to define and punish the crime of sedition, and of certain other offences against the United States, is an attempt to abridge the free exercise of our right, at all times, to print and publish our sentiments upon public characters and measures, which is guaranteed to us by the federal and state constitutions in a positive and express manner, and which no law can take away.
9th. Resolved, that we will, at all times, when properly called upon, risk our fortunes and lives in the defence of the independence, the con-
stitution, the union and the liberty of the United States; and to our country and one another, we pledge ourselves, that we will ever be ready to rise in arms against the enemy who shall dare to invade it.
10th. Resolved, that we disavow any intention to oppose the constitutional laws of our country—that we will, and every good citizen ought to, render and assist to enforce a prompt obedience to all such laws—that we are yet disposed to pursue constitutional means to effect a change of measures and a redress of our grievances, and we implore heaven that we may not be forced to reiterate our complaints by an appeal to any other means.
11th. Resolved, that the thanks of the meeting be offered to those members of both houses of Congress, who have advocated the cause of liberty, in voting against the impolitic and unconstitutional measures adopted at the late session of congress.
Resolved, that the printer of the Kentucky Herald be furnished with a copy of these resolutions, and be requested to publish them.
Signed, by order of the meeting. JAMES KENNEY, Chairman.
Explanatory Article, to be added to the Treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation between the United States and his Britannic Majesty.
Whereas by the twenty eighth article of the treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation, between his Britannic Majesty and the United States signed at London on the nineteenth day of November, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four, it was agreed, that the contracting parties would, from time to time, readily treat of and concerning such further articles as might be proposed, that they would sincerely endeavour so to form such articles, as that they might conduce to mutual convenience, and tend to promote mutual satisfaction & friendship; and that such articles, after having been duly ratified, should be added to and make a part of that treaty: And whereas difficulties have arisen with respect to the execution of so much of the fifth article, of the said treaty, as requires that the commissioners appointed under the same, should in their description particularize the latitude and longitude of the source of the river, which may be found to be the one truly intended in the treaty of peace between his Britannic Majesty and the United States, under the name of the river St. Croix, by reason whereof it is expedient, that the said commissioners should be released from the obligation of conforming to the provisions of the said article in this respect: The undersigned being respectively named by his Britannic Majesty and the United States of America, their plenipotentiaries for the purpose of treating of and concluding such articles as may be proper to be added to the said treaty, in conformity to the above mentioned stipulation, and having communicated to each other their respective full powers, have agreed & concluded and do hereby declare in the name of his Britannic Majesty and of the United States of America—That the commissioners appointed under the 5th article of the above mentioned treaty, shall not be obliged to particularize in their description, the latitude and longitude of the source of the river, which may be found to be the one truly intended in the aforesaid treaty of peace, under the name of the river St. Croix, but they shall be at liberty to describe the said river in such other manner as they may judge expedient, which description shall be considered as a complete execution of the duty required of the said commissioners in this respect by the article aforesaid. And to the end that no uncertainty may hereafter exist on this subject, it is further agreed. That as soon as may be after the decision of the said commissioners, measures shall be concerted between the government of the United States and his Britannic Majesty's governors or lieutenant governors in America, in order to erect and keep in repair a suitable monument at the place ascertained and described to be the source of the said river St. Croix, which measures shall immediately thereupon, and as often afterwards as may be requisite, be duly executed on both sides with punctuality and good faith.
This Explanatory Article, when the same shall have been ratified by his
Majesty and by the President of the United States, by and with the advice & consent of their senate, and the respective ratifications mutually exchanged, shall be added to and make a part of the treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation, between his Majesty and the United States, signed at London, on the nineteenth day of November, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four, and shall be permanently binding upon his Majesty and the United States.
IN WITNESS whereof, we, the said undersigned Plenipotentiaries of his Britannic Majesty and the United States of America, have signed this present article, and have caused to be affixed thereto the seal of our arms.
DONE at London the fifteenth day of March, one thousand seven hundred and ninety eight. (signed)

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
THE BERGEN PLANTER.
By PHILIP FRENEAU.
ATTACH'D to lands that ne'er deceiv'd his hopes, This rustic sees the harvest come and go; His autumn's toil return in summers crops, While limpid streams to cool his herbage flow, And if some cares intrude upon his mind, They are such cares as Heaven for man dign'd.
He on no party hangs his hopes or fears, Nor seeks the vote that baseness must procure; No stall-fed Mutton, for his gold reveres, No splendid offers from his chiefs allure:— While showers descend, and suns their beams display, The same to him, if congress go or stay.
Where wandering brooks from mountain foun- ces roll, He seeks at noon the waters of the shade; Drinks deep—and fears no poison in the bowl, That nature for her happiest children made, And from whose clear and gently purling wave, All drink alike—the master and the slave.
The scheming statesman flouts his homely door, Who, on the miseries of his country fed, Ne'er glanced his eye from that base piffer'd store, To view the sword suspended by a thread, Nor that hand-writing, grav'd upon the wall, That tells him, but in vain, the sword must fall.
He ne'er was made a holiday machine, Wheel'd here & there by 'fairs, in every clad; Nor dreads the sons of legislation keen, Hard-hearted laws, and penalties most sad; In humble hope his little fields were sown, A trifle in your eye—but all his own.
ANECDOE.
Two fellows were observed by some gentlemen, to be very busy in lifting an ass over the wall of a pound where it was confined—On asking the reason, the ass, with true humanity and character, replied "Why look ye master, we saw this animal aground, without victuals, d'ye see; and so my messmate and I agreed to cut his cable, and give him his liberty, because we have known before now, what it was to be on short allowance."
From a Connecticut paper.
IMPROVEMENTS.
"A Frenchman very politely observed to an Englishman, that the French were the first inventors of that beautiful ornament the Ruffle; which the Englishman very readily acknowledged—mean time observed, that the English had made some little improvement by adding a shirt."—It is modestly suggested by some real friends to government, that as much improvement might be made to the American Cockade, if the spirited wearers would equip themselves with a good Gun, a Bayonet, &c. and learn the use of them, as there was to the Ruffle by adding the Shirt.

The said land has been sold and conveyed to John Bryan of the state of New-Jersey, agreeable to the last will and testament of the said Charles Fleming.

ROBERT PATTERSON, agent for the trustees of the Transylvania Seminary.
C. FREEMAN, PHYSICIAN & SURGEON, Late of the Indian towns, from the North-Western Territory of the United States, now at Lexington in Kentucky.
RESPECTFULLY informs the public, that he has been regularly bred to the art of PHYSIC and SURGERY, studied three and an half years with doctor Laurence, V. D. Veer, an eminent practitioner, and late president of the medical society of the state of New-Jersey; attended doctor William Shippen's lectures on anatomy, surgery and midwifery, in the city of Philadelphia—received a license to practice as a physician and surgeon throughout the state of New-Jersey, 13th of August, 1785, from the honorable David Brearly and Isaac Smith, two of the justices of the supreme court of the state of New-Jersey, agreeable to an act passed 25th November, 1783, by the council and general assembly of that state, for regulating the practice of physic and surgery.
Since which time, he has travelled through twenty-two different tribes of Indians, among whom he has resided nearly four years, and made it his constant study to investigate and find out the virtues of all kinds of herbs, roots, plants and simples, used by them in the curing of diseases; by which means he has made a number of valuable discoveries in the healing art, and now (with the blessing of God) cures and gives relief in most diseases incident to the human body—viz. Fevers, inflammations, eruptions, hemorrhages, fluxes, fits, cramps, convulsions, head-aches, fore-eyes, bleeding at the nose, colds, coughs, pain in the breast, spitting of blood, pains in the stomach, indigestion, night sweats, inward debilities, low spirits, vapours in men, histerics in women, difficulty of making water, bloody urine, coliveness and rheumatism, effectually destroys worms, cures fist and wandering pains arising in different parts of the body, the effects of the improper use of mercury, green wounds, old sores, ulcers, burns, scalds, cankers, scald-head in children, piles and fistulas, the whites in women, and all seminal weaknesses in both sexes; the bite of the viper, rattle snake, and all venomous bites effectually cured.
The many cures performed within four years past, which will fully appear (to any gentleman who will please to call upon him, being too lengthy for this paper) by papers and vouchers of cures performed, now in his hands, properly attested, and whose authenticity cannot be denied, flatters himself is sufficient to convince the public that he has been successful in curing diseases, and that this is not intended as an imposition upon mankind.

I HAVE been directed by the managers of the Lexington Lodge lottery, to order suits to be commenced against every person in arrears for the purchase of tickets without discrimination: but think it proper to give this further notice, under the fullest confidence, that many of those indebted will prevent the managers from being forced to a measure so extremely disagreeable; and will relieve them from their present difficulties, by immediately paying to me, their respective balances due the lottery.

A Caution to the Public.
Respecting a forgery that has lately taken place in Kentucky.
WHEREAS, my business last summer, called me from this state, to the state of Georgia, at which place I exchanged my lands, and other property in Georgia, with a certain Daniel Wagnon, for six thousand nine hundred and seventy-six acres of military lands, in Logan county, Kentucky, in three different tracts—the patents whereof, were issued in the name of Joseph Trible, who was there at that time, and made the deeds of conveyance to me, as Mr. Wagnon only obtained the lands from him a few days before his contract with me, which was in the month of August, ninety-seven. To each tract, was a certificate, setting forth the quality of the lands, signed by Rowland Madison, and Robert Ewing, justices of the peace, in, and for Logan county. Below each certificate in this order was another certificate, asserting those men to be justices of the peace in Logan county, signed by Samuel Caldwell, clerk of said county, with the county seal affixed thereto; and that the said described lands were clear of all incumbrance whatever. Therefore, through the faith and credit I put in those papers, I exchanged my lands in Georgia, and having returned this spring to this state, I went to Logan county, to see the lands, but found them not. I then went to the gentlemen that should have recommended the lands, to whom I produced the papers, that they should have signed, but every man denied the hand, writing, and protested the whole proceedings to be forgery. On my return I called on Governor Shelby, who should have signed the patents, he also protested the patents to be forged, and never signed by him. I then went to the land office, at Frankfort, and the clerk thereof protested that no such patents were ever issued from that office, nor any entry made of any such lands. James Brown, did also protest his name, on each patent, not to be his hand writing, who was then secretary of the state. Now, though I have recourse to a bond with security, recorded in Wilkes county office, for the value of my property, in Georgia—yet, in order to do justice to other citizens, both here and elsewhere, I thought proper to make this matter known, that there may not be such an imposition used upon other men, as what hath been done on me. But, I am not the only sufferer in this villainy. From what I learn, there has been thirty-two thousand acres of military lands, forged in the same way, and sold last fall, in Red-stone; and near forty thousand acres more, in old Virginia. It is generally thought that this forgery hath taken place near the Cumberland river, and not far distant from the settlement of Philip Alston in Christian county. But, I take it for granted, that those gentlemen who hold the reins of government in their hands, will not pass over this with impunity, but endeavor as much as they can, to check the progress of this growing evil, lest those villains over run the land, as the caterpillars and locusts did the land of Egypt. Will they not become as pernicious to this commonwealth, as the Hessian fly is to the wheat? Doth not Justice say, cut them down; why incumbereth they the ground? But, mercy sayeth, erect your penitentiary house, or solitary cell, where, they may work out their time with a living sorrow, which will be doing justice to the community at large, and to none more than the present sufferer,
M. KAIN.
P. S. It is evident from the hand writing of Trible, in signing the deeds to me, that he was not capable of completing the forgery, though a villain in the mean, I believe. He is about 6 feet high, 35 or 36 years of age, and weighs nearly about two hundred, and is now said to be in the Creek nation. In Robinson county, state of Tennessee, he is known by the name of Joseph Still, or Trible Still, in Hanover county Virginia, where he was mostly raised, he is known by Joseph Wellsher Trible, but in all his papers to me, by the name of Joseph Trible, &c.
