There will be large and excellent meadows, well enclosed for mares from a distance, at 3s. per week. Great attention will be paid to mares, to give general satisfaction, but will not be answerable for escapes or accidents that may happen.
BLAZE is a beautiful bay, near seventeen hands high, nicely marked, of uncommon great strength and activity; his figure is given up to be unexceptionable.

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. Application is frequently made for prizes; but no money to discharge them—suits have been commenced and judgments obtained against the managers. CASH is really wanted, and it is hoped this notice will be attended to.—No further indulgence can be given. All those who have purchased tickets and are entitled to a credit on account of prizes, are requested to forward their fortunate numbers as soon as possible, that the true state of their accounts may be known.

ATTEND!
THE members of the society for "the abolition of slavery," who live in Fayette, are requested to assemble on Saturday the 28th inst. at the office of Esq. attorney at law; and after taking a lecture on the subject of a general emancipation - proceed to a tavern, when and where matters of the highest importance will be submitted to them, and which will require their discussion previous to the general election on the Tuesday following: - As the said society was instituted for the pur-

pose of promoting the "general good," holding in utter contempt all finer views; and as they have no doubt their numbers would daily increase were the terms and conditions of their association made known; in order therefore that every good man may have an opportunity of becoming a member; their secretary is directed to make the same public, which are as follows, viz:
1st. No man who owneth a slave shall be admitted as a member, except he be a teacher of the gospel; in which case he may, because he cannot attend his flock and labor too; and it seemeth meet, that he should have a few slaves to labor for him; for it is very unseemly to take him from teaching the gospel, and tythes are an accursed thing.
2d. No person shall be a member who owns more than one hundred acres of land; unless his quantity has been increased to a larger amount, by selling his slaves and laying out the money in said land.
3d. Any man who never owned a slave or a slaves worth, and who by his courses of life will in all probability ever remain so, will be readily admitted as a member and no questions asked him.
4th. People of color cannot at present be admitted, except such as have actually commenced suits to recover their freedom; for there the society, agreeable to an old maxim of equity considers, "that as actually happened, which ought to happen."
5th. There shall be but one lawyer in the society at any one time; who upon his admission and for one year afterwards, must not own a slave. If he should not be able however to purchase a slave the second year, the society are to buy one for him; and they will then be able to hear what can be said on both sides of the question.
6th. The oath heretofore taken on the admission of members, viz: "I do solemnly swear, that I could not in justice to my conscience own a single slave were I ever so poor; and if one dozen were given to me as a present, I would immediately emancipate them," is expunged from the regulations of the society, it being considered as putting a man's conscience to too severe a trial; and moreover as foreign to the main object, which is, not what the society would do if they had slaves, but what other people ought to do, who actually have them.
7th. All persons opposed to an immediate call of a convention, would more easily find the way to Heaven, than into this society; and,
8th. Of course all persons who are for tearing down the old constitution to the foundation, and building up a new one, shall be entitled to a seat; although they may own a slave, or so, because as emancipation will be the certain consequence of a convention, if that convention is judiciously selected, the presumption is, that all who are for a convention, although they will lose their slaves; yet they expect also, that in the general scuffle, they will gain on some other score more than they would lose on that; and the maxim is, "flabitur presumptio donec probatur in contrarium."
9th. This is a secret article. 10. As the labors, toils, and watchings of the society in the cause of humanity will be great, and as the labourer is always deserving of some hire, the society propose as a small recompence, that so soon as an emancipation does take place, they will each of them (and it will be justified by scripture, for did not Jacob serve Laban 14 years) take indentures on some two or three dozen of (perhaps it might be as well to omit this article also.)
J. LPMRHOOP, Sec'y April 21, 1798.
MR. BRADFORD, I saw some time ago in one of your papers, a speech said to be pronounced by a member of the last assembly (and I suppose it is genuine, for he has not contradicted it) in which the following is the substance of part of it. "The constitution under which we live is one of the most perfect in the union. It secures to us the complete enjoyment of all that is dear to us. Moreover, our fellow citizens are well satisfied with it, for every good man does now rest under his own vine and fig tree, secure in his life liberty and property." Had I have had the opportunity of replying to that gentleman—I could
have told, I think, a very different story. I will take the liberty, however, of putting a few questions to him.
1. Is it consistent with any idea of free government, that any representative branch of the government should create itself? If not, how comes it that the senate shall create themselves; or in other words, fill up vacancies? Is it also consistent with freedom, that such self created body should have the power to lord it over their fellow citizens for four years? Shew me in short the necessity of that body at all, in a republic; for I deny its advantage to this government.
2. Is it consistent with the spirit of freedom, that your judges should controul your legislature? Is it not surrendering your rights to your servants, and making them so many petty tyrants over you? This power is not only claimed, but exercised by your judges under this present perfect constitution.
3. Is it not slavish, that our land titles shall be for ever kept in darkness because the state of Virginia thought fit before the separation, to enact some fifteen or twenty stupid and contradictory laws respecting these titles? Why cannot those laws be so amended or explained, that we might be enabled in some way or other to settle our disputes; for as things now stand, it would be even vain to hope for an adjustment of our disputes during the life of the present generation.
4. Is that constitution one of the most perfect in the union, and which you say protects life, liberty and property, when under its sanction near thirty thousand human creatures are kept in slavery? Is this your boasted constitution? In vain may you boast of it; it will be but boast, so long as that foul article remains to pollute it. This is a delicate subject; but being one in which justice and humanity are trampled on; and as I always use truth as my shield, I will still continue to wield it however dangerous its operation may be.
CASSIUS. April 19, '98.
PHILADELPHIA, April 9. Yesterday arrived the ship Phoenix capt. Grice from Amsterdam, which place she left on the 10th Feb.
Capt. Grice, we are informed, brings dispatches from our envoys at Paris. Before he left Amsterdam accounts from Paris were received as late as February 12, at which time every prospect of a negotiation with France was at an end.
By letters from Bourdeaux, dated the 1st. and fourteenth of February, we are informed that the law authorizing the confiscation of all neutral vessels having British goods or manufactures on board, took place the 4th February.
It is also said, that troops have been ordered to march to Hamburgh, Altona, & Bremen, to prevent the importation of English goods.
No insurance, except against the dangers of the seas, can be effected on American vessels, and they dislodge their correspondents from making any shipments in the present state of affairs.
The ship Victoria, captain R. Fanning arrived on Saturday from Bourdeaux, which port she left on the tenth and Cordovan on the twentieth of February.
Capt. Fanning informs, that all the merchant ships at Bourdeaux were in a state of requisition, that a fleet with provisions for Brest were soon to sail, that 16,000 tuns of wine had been purchased up by government for the English expedition.
Accounts at Bourdeaux, on the subject of our commissioners, were so various and contradictory, that no confidence could be put in them. Little business doing, and no insurance to be had.
It was reported an embargo would soon be laid. Americans were well treated. American produce low, except tobacco.
The executive directory, has acknowledged the Lemanique republic.
It was reported at Paris, Feb. 5, that the deputies of the princes and electors of the empire, returned from Rastadt, after their deliberations on the basis of the negotiation proposed by the French minister, on receiving the news of the surrender of the fort of the Rhine.
Commissioners were to meet at Basle on the 10th Feb. to make a new con-
stitution. A revolution was completely effected in that canton of Switzerland.
The French arrest has so fatal an effect on the commerce of Great Britain that on the 27th of Jan. at Lloyd's in London, 40 pr. ct. insurance on Foreign vessels, was refused.
The British funds at London Jan. 29. varied from 47 5-8 to 48 1 8.
From the AURORA. COMMUNICATION.
Dispatches from the Envoys.
Until we are able to publish them in detail we offer the following as a correct outline of their contents, and think we can safely pledge ourselves for its general accuracy:
The envoys have had no regular intercourse with the French government, but in delivering their letters of credence and receiving cards of hospitality.—Some short time after these ceremonies had passed a merchant of respectability introduced a Mr. X. as a person to be relied on, who had something of consequence to communicate. Mr. X. said he came at the instance of Mr. Y. the confidential friend of Mr. Talleyrand, to inform the envoys, that Mr. Talleyrand felt great interest in the accommodation between France and the United States; but that he feared the resentment of the directory at the speech of the president of the United States to congress in May last would prevent unless some means could be found to soften them. On enquiry by the envoys as to the means in their power, they were told that it would be necessary to engage a powerful person in their interest and deposit in his hands the sum of 50,000. sterling, for such uses as he should chuse. He mentioned Mr. Talleyrand as the person and mentioned that the money would go to some members of the directory. He said it would be further necessary for the envoys to offer a loan of money to the French government. Mr. X. afterwards introduced Mr. Y. to the envoys and the same overtures were made by him and renewed by them both on a variety of occasions; but were always rejected by the envoys. The loan to the government was positively declared to be out of their power, and the doctor was countenanced by them, only upon the supposition, that they could be assured of the completion of their business. These agents of Mr. Talleyrand, urged on the envoys the power of France, and mentioned the fate of the European powers who had offended, and the pending fate of others; also suggested that they would fail of support from what is called the French party, in this country, if they refused the offered terms. The irritation occasioned by the president's speech was repeated & the parts objected to were pointed out. These projects were renewed, in a variety of forms & once by a lady, in the confidence of Mr. Talleyrand, to general Pinckney. The envoys had declared they would receive no unauthorized proposals; but could not prevent the renewal of the same kind of proposals, at times when they met the private persons before spoken of. Mr. Gerry being personally acquainted with Mr. Talleyrand had visited him and had received an invitation to dinner. About the time of the last dispatches, he waited on Mr. Talleyrand, to ask him to fix a day to dine with him, and mentioned that he intended to invite his colleagues, to have an opportunity of introducing them to Mr. Talleyrand. Mr. Talleyrand fixed a distant day; which had not arrived when the dispatches came away. In this interview Mr. Gerry mentioned, that he had received some overtures from Mr. Y. in Mr. Talleyrand's name. Mr. T. said Mr. Y. was always entitled to credit. Mr. Talleyrand himself wrote some proposals, the principal of which was, that the United States should lend a sum of money to France of only half the amount of that asked by his agent. He said nothing of the 50,000. After shewing his proposals he burned them.
April 13.
The following extract of a letter, was received yesterday, by the British packet, via New-York; from a merchant in London, to his brother in this city, dated 3d February, '98.
"I am sorry to say, that the times are at present so exceedingly critical, that we are at a loss to conjecture what will be the issue. Trade here is very
much declined, and taxes amazingly increased, beyond the possibility of ever collecting them—an act of this session is past, which obliges every person to pay one tenth of their income, many hundred families will be deprived of the common necessaries of life by it—but I believe the crisis is near at hand, the funds pay 7 1-2 or 8 per cent. and frequently (for what the stock-jobbers call the continuation) 20 per cent.—We have had a very wet time ever since July last, the weather very unsettled now, scarce any frost this winter; great apprehensions are entertained for the crops of wheat, on account of it, as well as for sowing the Lent crops, unless we should be blessed with dry weather soon."
Extract of a letter from a respectable mercantile house in Manchester, dated February 5, received by the packet.
"It was our intention, to have forwarded your goods very early early, but the piratical declaration of the French, has at once advanced insurance to 18 and 20 guineas per cent. of course we directed our broker at Liverpool to hold them for further instructions.—A convoy being appointed to sail from the Downs for America, on the first of March, and to call at Falmouth for the Liverpool and Bristol trade, we have good hopes of effecting insurance upon tolerable terms; but as it is yet uncertain whether the American vessels will have full benefit of convoy, there seems to be no settled price, nor do we yet know, whether it will be more to your advantage to send your goods by a British or an American ship."

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
SCANDAL.
SCANDAL, a restless fiend, who never knows The balmy blessing of an hours repose, Worn, yet unbafed with her daily toil, In her bale work confines the midnight oil. O'er fiercer fiends when heavy slumbers creep, When wearied avarice and ambition sleep, Scandal is vigilant, and keen to spread The plagues that spring from her prolific head. On truth's basis she her falsehood builds, With tinsel sentiments its surface gilds; To nightly labor from their dark abodes The demons of the GROANING PRESS, the goads, And files to see their rapid art supply A thousand wings to every infant lie.
ANECDOTE.
A Mr. Colt being provoked at an Irishman, gave him a sturdy kick; "By J——s," (says the honest Hibernian) "if you kick so while a cork what will you do when you come to be a HORSE."
