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.
This work will be printed in two Numbers, large Octavo, with a neat letter, on good paper, and bound in boards. The first Number to contain all the laws of a General Nature already revised. 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. 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. If the laws do not exceed five hundred Pages, there will be added an appendix, containing an Abstract of the Duties of a Justice of the Peace, taken from the most Approved Authors, with the different forms of process in that office; as well as the most useful 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. 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 unwieldy to carry about, but also more liable to injury and therefore less durable; and as it is probable that the general laws will hereafter remain a considerable length of time with little 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.

VIENNA, May 26.
The head-quarters of Gen. Buonaparte, are no longer at Leoban. 12,000 men have proceeded towards Gratz, and the whole French army is preparing to march for Italy, and thence to France. Our forces in Italy will amount to 30,000 men. This army is to restore the ancient order of things, to restrain the Jacobins, and to assist at the cession and exchange of territory. We are told that the Archduke Charles will be appointed governor of Gallacia and the newly conquered country of Poland.
Nearly 2000 disaffected persons, from Gratz, had assembled to receive Buonaparte, but they had his most express disapprobation, and were threatened to be surrounded and sacrificed as traitors to their country, if they did not instantly retire. It is said Buonaparte will be the first envoy of the French Republic in our court.
BRUXELLES, May 18.
The French will not leave a crown in the conquered countries. Hoche has imposed on the country between the Sieg, the Rhine and Lahn, the Nidda and the Mein, a military contribution of 3,725,000 livres.
Letters from Germany mention, that the sudden peace of the empire with the French Republic, without the mediation of Berlin, has disappointed the ambition of Prussia. The Czar of Russia signified to Prussia, that no change must be made in the empire; and the Marquis Luchesini is upon his return to Berlin, having been very coolly received in the Austrian cabinet.
WURTSBOURG, May 12.
By letters from Bamberg we learn, that 600 Austrians entered Nuremberg and that hostilities took place between them and the Prussians. They begin to fear here very seriously a war between Prussia and Austria.
PARIS, May 8.
It is reported, that yesterday there was a meeting at Charles Delacroix's, minister of foreign affairs, of a number of persons of distinction; among others, the Prussian ambassador, and the first president of the Rheno-Germanic convention. The object of this meeting was a discussion on the limits of the Rhine.
It is asserted that the deputy from Mentz very strongly insisted on the union of his country to France, in conformity with a decree made the second year of the republic. And it is said, that, to do away an objection which was started, namely, that the Cabinet of Berlin would not easily consent to a dismemberment of the Empire ; he proved that the Germanic constitution had been already violated by two of the princes electors—the Margrave of Baden and the Duke of Wirtemberg—in the two treaties which they had concluded in France; for these two sovereigns had yielded to the republic, the former the county of Sponheim situated behind the Mahe—the latter, the county of Montbelliard: That the emperor himself, in giving up the Liege country, also violated the constitution, by consenting to the dismemberment of one of the clauses of the confederacy; and that the king of Prussia, not having opposed that dismemberment, would now come with a very bad grace to oppose the making of the Rhine the French limits, under the pretext that he was unwilling to see the Germanic constitution violated.
This answer made a great impression on the mind of the minister for foreign affairs, and this point it seems, will be the first submitted to the congress, where the ministers of the princes of the empire are to be present, with those of the kings of Prussia and England, as electors of Brandenburg and Hanover, and those of the kings of Naples and Sardinia as mediators.
May 15
M. Azzara, minister of Spain arrived at Florence from Rome on 21st April. It is supposed that the political and religious differences between the Pope and Spain will not be soon settled.
May 29.
When Pichegru first appeared in the chair, his manners were simple and modest, and he was without any mark of distinction or even an uniform. His voice is clear and sonorous, his expression easy and natural, his mind clear and cultivated. He fills his office perfectly, and it is expected, that
he will be as useful in the council, as he has been distinguished at the head of the armies.
Nothing can give more just hopes than the spirit of union and moderation, which appears in the Legislative body. The members of the two councils embrace with an affection, which promises an honorable support, and the solidity of it appears, because virtue is its cause.
May 31.
The Cispadine republic enjoys the greatest tranquility. It is believed that it will escape the storms which have distressed France, for Buonaparte has used all his influence to establish order, and to render permanent the public tranquility.
The emperor of Russia was crowned at Moscow, 16th April, between 7 and 8 in the morning. The emperor distributed among the people on this occasion, 4500 silver medals, of 25 copees each.
We hear from Trieste, that General Buonaparte, arrived there on the 29th ult. His health having been a little impaired, he was using the sea-bath. On the 11th May, there were in the port of Trieste, 3 Spanish armed vessels and 9 French of different force.
June 2.
We hear that the elder brother of General Buonaparte, has been chosen by the department of Liamone, a member of the council of five hundred.
DUNKIRK, April 17.
Admiral Muskau has sailed with his squadron.—The particular object is a secret.
BOURDEAUX, May 29.
Among the Austrian officers, prisoners of war, is a count Montecuculli, captain of the hussars of Barco, who is descended of the famous general of that name, and the worthy rival of Turenne. A great number of these officers have asked and have obtained leave to tarry at Brussels, till they are exchanged. They are accompanied with their parents and friends, who perform every kind of office without restraint, and the French officers treat them with great respect and humanity.
MILAN, May 8.
Generals Buonaparte and Clarke returned hither. The troops of the Republic occupy the whole of the Venetian Terra Firma. The Venetian revolution is completed with the consent of the Noblesse. The new government will be purely democratic.
LONDON, May 22.
An address to the nation has been published by the seamen on board Lord Bridport's fleet. As it mentions several particulars relating to the disturbances in the fleet, not known before, we are induced to give the following extract:—
We requested an augmentation of our wages, which was complied with, though reluctantly, on the part of ministers.
OUR LATE WAGES.
Able seamen 1-2-6 } per month. Landmen 17-6 }
THE PRESENT IS,
Able seamen 1-10-0 } per month. Ordinary do. 1-2-0 } Landmen 1-1-0 }
There being now three classes. We requested likewise, that the purser's eighths should be taken off, which was complied with; the weight of the different articles were as follows:—
Bread, - - - - - 14 ounces Cheese, - - - - - 9 do. Butter, - - - - - 12 do.
Of spirituous liquors and small beer, the purser had an eighth out of each gallon, those eighths are now taken off, and we have the full measure.
His majesty's pardon was then requested, to exempt our brethren from having any punishment inflicted on them for trivial misdemeanors, and our non compliance to the order given for going to sea—his majesty was pleased to grant the same—we then returned to the ordinary discharge of our duty, as desired, but from that we never deviated, during our perseverance, except weighing anchor, which we positively refused, unless our requests were complied with.—We then went to St. Helens, distant from Spithead about three miles, on the signal being made by the admiral (excepting three ships of the line, which had not
had their private grievances redressed, viz. London, Marlborough and La Nymph.)
The wind did not favor our proceeding to sea, during our silence, for by this we wish to be understood, we were in state of suspension, as there was no sign of an act being passed; we could not be deceived in this point, as the freedom of the press is allowed, and several of us in the fleet can read. Our reasons are, obviously not confined alone to the act not being passed, although it lay dormant for fourteen days; private instructions were sent to each commander in the fleet, of which we are not ignorant as will be found in the sequel. Full allowances were granted to some ship's companies, supposed to be the leading ones, and not to others, which caused a suspicion throughout the whole fleet. The ships remaining at Spithead, had their private grievances redressed, though many days had elapsed, nor any sign of these being redressed: be it understood by private grievances—trying by court martial such officers as had repeatedly behaved in a tyrannical and oppressive manner, unbecoming the character of a gentleman, and the dignified station they filled.
Private murmurings were heard—at length the breasts of seamen, fired with indignation at being neglected, burst forth on the 7th inst. It was then, oh! horrid to relate! that we found out the scheme laid to sacrifice some of the brightest gems that ever adorned this, or any other country.
Will not the following melancholy catastrophe, evince the whole world of our assertions?—On Sunday the 7th inst. ever to be recorded, a gallant chief, (not indeed so, but as such represented by an honorable member, Mr. Whitebread;—perhaps the honorable member committed a mistake, it was surely his gallantry with the fair sex he alluded to, for his country is ignorant of any gallant action by him performed) with his officers in concert, espied the boats of the fleet proceeding on board the Marlborough, which was fortunate enough on their side; as the London's officers had the quarter deck guns loaded with grape-cannister shot, ready to fire into them. Admiral Colpoys had all his hands sent aft, and informed them, there was something amiss among the ships at St. Helens, and desired them to go below, run in the lower deck guns, and lower the ports; and then part of them to return on deck and hoist in the boats, which was complied with. The same being done, all hands were ordered below, at the same time the officers appeared armed and the marines were armed and accoutered, with bayonets fixed and pieces loaded. Four of the main deck guns were ordered to be loaded with grape and cannister-shot, run in as far as the breechings would allow, to be ready to point forward on the ship's company. Before the people could well comply with the orders of going below, the captain ordered lieutenant Boyer to fire on some of the people that were forward under the forecastle, which he did not immediately comply with, upon which captain Griffiths presented his pistols at him, and swore he would put him to death that moment if he did not instantly comply with his orders; in this dilemma, the lieutenant fired, and wounded two men.
The ship's company being now all below, and hearing there were some boats alongside they expressed their wish to know what they wanted, but in vain, the hammocks and spars from the booms were thrown on all the hatchways, and the officers putting a little a side, so as to give room, fired assault down the hatchways on the unarmed men below, and wounded several, part of which are since dead; in the mean time, the little midshipmen were busily employed, with proper implements, prepared for the purpose, to cut away the port ropes of the middle deck, well knowing that the heart of a seaman could not hurt a boy. At last, irritated with seeing so much blood spilt, we were determined to force the gunners fore room to procure small arms; they then drew cartridges from some of the lower deck guns, to supply them with powder, taking care to secure the magazine with proper centinels. Thus armed they were determined to gain the main deck, to confer with the officers, on which the marines were summoned to take the oath of allegiance to the officers, but they, provoked at preme-
dictated murder, did not consent, nor would they fire, but went and joined their unhappy shipmates. The upper deck was then stormed, in spite of opposition; the officers called for quarters and then fled. The heat of passion by this time subsided, and they were used with much more humanity than the most part of them deserved. This is an account of the unhappy affair, and we trust will be warning to officers of the navy to use men with less tyrannic sway.
Seamen dangerously wounded, } 3 and since dead, }
Marines slightly wounded, } 1
Officers wounded, one in the arm, } 2 and has since suffered amputation. }
Thus ended the first action that ever the brave admiral Colpoys, as some are pleased to call him, was in; and had it not been owing to the kind interference of the delegates and boat crews, which arrived at the time they had got the better of the officers, that gallant officer with all his associates, would have fell victims to an enraged crew, which their rashness justly merited. They were then confined each to his separate cabin, to be tried when they arrived at St. Helen's. It was the general opinion of the seamen, and much to their credit be it spoken, on the ships arrival at St. Helens to deliver the officers, except admiral Colpoys; whom they were certain was the instigator of the whole, up to the civil law. On the 10th it was proposed, that the opinion of each ship's company should be given in writing, folded up, and not to be opened until the opinions were delivered on board of the London, and the delegates from each ship present. A signal was then made by the London, for all the delegates to attend—(May 11) and deliver their respective ships opinion when there appeared, in his favour at least that he should be left to his own ship's company's mode of punishment. } 12 For immediate execution } 5
Majority in his favour } 7
The admiral and his officers were then delivered to Portsmouth magazine.
May 24.
Yesterday afternoon an express arrived at the admiralty from Sheerness, with accounts of a very unpleasant nature. The mutiny among the seamen still rages at that port, with additional symptoms of violence and alarm. On Monday two regiments marched into the garrison at Sheerness. The seamen conceiving that the troops were brought there to coerce them, seized upon the gun boats, and, pointed them against the garrison, showed every disposition to proceed to the most violent extremities.
On Sunday evening last Lord Bridport was off Plymouth found, working down the Channel.
The delegates who were sent from the fleet at Plymouth to Portsmouth, returned on Sunday. The different ships were immediately manned, three cheers given and the men returned to their accustomed duty.
A full meeting of the opposition members including those in the interest of the Duke of Grafton, the duke of Northumberland, and the Marquis of Lansdowne, was held on Monday evening; at which it was determined to give unanimous support to the promised motion for a parliamentary reform.
On Sunday last, as the Impregnable was passing down the Nore, her crew compelled the seamen of every other ship they passed by to cheer them, and fired a shot at the St. Florenzo for having been tardy in complying with this mandate, which damaged and cut away some of her after rigging.
BASLE, May 11.
Many letters from Frankfort assure us that a strong column of the army of the Saumbe and Meuse was on the march for Hanover, to oblige the king of England to make peace. If there be any truth in this report, Prussia, which has guaranteed the neutrality of Hanover, must concur with the French Directory.
HAGUE, May 4.
Official communication has been made of a letter from Petersburg, declaring that Paul I. had given orders

to pay to the inhabitants of the Batavian Republic, the interests and arrears due to them. This act of justice is more pleasing to the Dutch than to the Italians.
June 1.
The minds of the true French are firm. The choice of the people discovers that they will for the return of justice and order. The list of candidates proposed for the place of Director is sufficient to convince us of the spirit which prevails in the council of Five Hundred. They manifest a strong inclination to support the government, when they place men worthy of it in authority to give honor and to secure the greatest respect to it.
SALEM, July 18.
By our last French papers as late as the 2d June, we find that all things agree with the hopes of peace with the empire. Venice had assured the French of satisfaction for the injuries they had received. The English minister was at Vienna on the 3d of May, and reports were spread that Prussia would insist upon the measures for a general pacification. The measures of Prussia had not given pleasure to the Empire, and a rupture was one of the fears which was entertained in Europe.
The French legislature on 21st of May annulled the arrest of the Colonial assembly of the Isle of France, by which some of the inhabitants were to be sent from the Island, and have appointed a new commission on Colonial affairs. The report respecting St. Domingo, was most favorable to the hopes of its distressed inhabitants, who have fled from it, and a full enquiry into the conduct of the commissioners is to be instituted. The French treaty with the Pope has been ratified, but the Ecclesiastical affairs between Spain and Rome are not yet adjusted. We learn that the Dutch are cruising off Scotland with success.

FRANCIS BARRET. Lexington, August 15. 1797. †3t
One hundred Dollars reward.
WHEREAS a certain FRANCIS BARRET has, at sundry times, stolen several articles of merchandise from the several stores in this town, many of which have this day been found concealed at his house—the inhabitants of Lexington have raised by subscription the above reward and offer it to any person who will apprehend him, in order that he may be tried and punished for his villainous practices.
The said Barret is a Baptist Preacher of some eminence in his profession, and has long imposed himself upon the world as a man of sanctity and good morals. His person is about the common size, rather corpulent, and his countenance serious and prepossessing—his dress, when last in this town, was indicative of his profession, and it is probable he may still continue to preach in order to impose upon those who may be strangers to his real character.
It is hoped that every good citizen will use his best exertions to bring so notorious and hypocritical offender to justice. He resided in the neighbourhood of Nathaniel Ashby, and may probably still be lurking about that place.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
The BANKS of KENTUCKY.
Tune—Banks of the Dee.
THE spring was advancing, and birds were beginning To sing on the boughs over each purling brook; On the early green herbage at leisure reclining, I was carelessly viewing the banks of Kentucky. Hall stranger to long! hail deep channel'd river! Thy prominent cliffs shall be famous forever: Thy high swelling floods henceforward shall never Obscurely run down thro' the banks of Kentucky.
Disgusted with idle romantic pretensions, The populous city I lonely forsook; Delighted in nature with fond apprehensions, I eagerly came to the banks of Kentucky. O! never did art so much beauty discover, To reward the long search of its most raptur'd lover; As nature's luxuriant fancy spreads over The gay fertile soil on the banks of Kentucky.
Here genious shall rove with an endless desire, Improvements to make without learning or book; While virtue and truth shall forever conspire To bless those that dwell on the banks of Kentucky. Here, far from tyrannical power removed; The spirit of freedom shall haply be proved; The patriot shall by his country be loved, And live without guile on the banks of Kentucky.
Here bigotry never shall raise its foul banner, The basis of joy through all ages it took: The young and the aged in more happy manner, Than those, shall improve on the banks of Kentucky. In honest industry their time still employing, With heart cheering mirth all their meetings enjoying, With the blessings of friendship, and love never cloying, All ranks shall unite on the banks of Kentucky.
Rich plenty and wealth with his visage all glowing, Invite and allure us with promising look: Never more to regret other rivers long flowing, Nor such as glide down thro' the banks of Kentucky. Pale sickness doth pass thro' the land as a stranger, No dreadful distemper here frightens the ranger, As he passes thro' canebrakes and waters no danger Expecting to meet on the banks of Kentucky.
ANECDOTE of the king of England. His majesty was really reduced, some time since, to a most mortifying dilemma; the apples, at dinner time, having been, by too great a liberality to the royal children, expended—the king ordered a supply, but was informed, that the Board of Green-Cloth would, positively, allow no more. Enraged at the unexpected and unroyal disappointment, he furiously put his hand into his pocket, took out six-pence, sent a page for two pennyworth of pippins, and received the change!!!
Taken up in March last, by the subscriber, living on the waters of Fleming, Mason county, a bay mare 14 hands high, seven or eight years old, branded on the left jaw B, has about a four shilling bell on; appraised to 15l. THOMAS HARRISON.
