PUBLIC NOTICE.
T HAT on the 22d day of May 1780, I located by virtue of a land office treasury warrant, 5000 acres of land on Slate creek, in the now county of Clarke , on a Buffa- loe road, leading from Hinton's fork of Licking to the Sweet lick (now more generally known by the name of the Mud lick ) to be- gin at a peeled black oak , standing within five poles of the said road on the south side thereof and run- ning North 1280 poles, then East for quantity; which said peeled black oak is on the east side of Slate creek within about three quarters of a mile therefrom, and is between four and five miles in a straight line, above the Bourbon Furnace . That on the seventh day of June 1784, I caused the said entry to be surveyed according to location, beginning at the peeled black oak therein called for, and have since obtained a patent therefor; and as the testimony respecting the said peeled black oak , depends on persons now liv- ing, in order to perpetuate their testimony, I obtained from the county court at Clarke at their last court, an order appointing commissioners to examine and take the depositions of such persons as I might judge proper, by virtue of an Act of the last session of Assem- bly entitled 'An act to ascertain the boundaries of lands and for o- ther purposes.'—All whom it may concern, are therefore desired to TAKE NOTICE , that on Wed- nesday the third day of June next, I shall attend with the commis- sioners aforesaid, and sundry witnesses at the said peeled black oak , be- ing the place where my survey of 5000 acres aforesaid does begin; when and where I shall take the depositions of the said witnesses, in order to establish the same, and do such further acts therein as shall be necessary, and as the said law directs.

Those who furnished iron to do their smith work, may dis- charge their accounts with good flour, whiskey, sugar, bacon, corn or oats; but those for whom I found the iron, and who agreed to pay me in produce by a certain time & have failed, need not bring it now, as it will not be received in payment—it is expected, that the above request will be compli- ed with, before the 20th of next month; otherwise their accounts will on that day be put into the hands of proper officers to collect.

BY YESTERDAY'S MAIL.
LONDON, Jan. 26. There are about seventy milli- ons of Dutch property in our funds, all of which has been at- tached by an order of government. The French have offered to re- linquish their conquests in Spain, on condition that the navy of that country be put entirely under their direction. In this case the blockade of Gibraltar will be one of the principal objects of the en- emy in the spring.
Jan. 27. Letters from Ireland state, the certain capture of part, and pro- bable one of the whole of the Loy- al  Clare regiment, in the trans- ports which were conveying them to Bristol .
On board the Princess Royal , when taken by the French, it is said, were unfortunately found dis- patches from the court of Directors to the Supervisors of Canton , announcing that no naval force was to be immediately expected in that quarter from Europe . This intelligence tempted a great number of cruisers to the port least protected, and where most plunder invited the daring spirit of the enemy. Nuttal , a small fort dependent on Bencoolen , was stormed, and after being four days in the enemy's possession, ransom- ed for 30,000 dollars. Fort Mal- borough has been threatened, and it is feared may fall—The Pigot East Indiaman was taken after a
most gallant defence.—The com- pany's warehouses in Rat island were gutted and burnt.—Seventeen privateers, manned by 2500 Europe- ans , have been ravaging the coast and capturing vessels of all nations.
Jan. 23. The last advices from the Con- tinent says, that the British troops were rearing over the Yssel . If the French follow them there, it is evident where the blow will fall.
Osnabruck and Hanover will be the first objects of their vengeance; and the palace of Herenhausen , perhaps be again converted by Gallick Intolerance, into stabling for their horses.
Hesse Cassel , too, will certainly feel their fury. The elector has taken too active a part in the pre- sent war to escape all the punish- ment of Republican rage can in- flict on him.
Unless the Diet of Rittibon , therefore, by their deliberations can effect an immediate suspension of hostilities, the war must spread wider; and all Germany , from Silesia to the borders of the Ne- therlands become parties in it.
In so general a contest, the em- peror may scarce find himself safe at Vienna ; especially should Prus- sia , as there is reason to believe, enter into a treaty with the out- rageous republicans.
As to the forty thousand men re- moured to be intended from Russia , they have been much too long com- ing and the way is too far, to ex- pect the reality of them.
The Czarina , however, may rest assured of meeting the French in Poland : and there they will as certainly be joined by the Turks , who wait only this assistance to en- deavor at the restoration of their old barrier against the Muscovites .
PROCLAMATION
Of the Revolutionary Committee of Amsterdam .
"WE, G. Prins, S. Wisseus, J. J. A. Goges, J. Tho. C. Von. Laer, J. Oudoup, E. Vander Aa, form- ing your Revolutionary Commit- tee , hail you with vows of health and fraternity.
"By the mighty aid of the French Republic, and by your own energy, you have cast off the tyranny which oppressed you. You are once more in possession of your rights.
"You are free, you are equal. "Your tyrants have all fled from their posts.
"Fellow citizens, you may fol- low with confidence and security your usual vocations. Your per- sons, your properties shall be pro- tected.
"We propose to you to name as your provisional representatives the following Burghers—Be assur- ed that they will watch over your rights, your interests, and your li- berties.
The citizens whom we propose are, N. Van Staphorst, J. Van Pieterse, A. P. P. Leyden, G. Tit- lingh, J. Van Eys, W. Vander Vuurst, J. Teysset Junia, J. W. J. Van Dam, S. Bos, G. H. de Wilde, H. T. Kate, Karel d'Amoer, H. Van Castrop, R. I. Schimmelpen- ning, N. Bienkelaeer, G. Maurek, J. Galberg, Van Lang.
Choose, Fellow citizens, these patriots as your representatives, that in the name of the people of Amsterdam, they may forthwith enter upon the administration of your affairs.
"We once more hail you, wor- thy fellow citizens. By your own patriotism, with the aid and un- der the guidance of such represen- tatives, order tranquility and hap- piness will reign in this city.—The Frenchmen who are among us con- duct themselves, indeed like bre- thren—Every idea of plunder, of rapine, or of injustice of any kind is unknown to them. Fraternity with them is the sole order of the day.
"In the name of the Revoluti- onary Committee;
P. J. B. P. VANDER AA. Amsterdam, 19th Jan. 1795 and the first day of Dutch Freedom .
February 5.
Letters from Madrid of a recent date, received by the Coanna Mail state, that the French were press- ing the siege of Roses ; so vigour- ly, that it was soon expected to fall into their hands. They had made themselves masters of the heights, from which they were able to bombard the Spanish fleet; if it approached near enough to give any effectual aid to the place. On the 21st of December , a strong gale of wind obliged the fleet to quit the bay, when it was in dan- ger of being lost.
Under the apprehension that Roses must fall, the Spaniards had put Gironne into the best state of defence they could, but it cannot hold out long, unless supported by the Spanish army. If Gironne should fall, there will remain only Barcelona . The courage of the inhabitants is more confided in than the army.
Yesterday Lord Grenville signi- fied to all the foreign ministers, resident in London , that the Stadtholder will receive them this day, at the house of Baron de Nagel , ci-devant minister from the United States .
This, we are well assured, has given rise to several questions as among the Corps Diplomatique .— "Was the Stadtholder ever a so- vereign prince, in such sort as to make it the duty of foreign min- isters to pay their court to him?"— "If he ever had the rank of so- vereign, must not his rights be now considered as more than doubtful, even by the ministers of the com- bined powers?"—"Can the min- isters of neutral powers acknow- ledge him as Stadtholder , after the abolition of the Stadtholderate , which has no doubt already taken place?" In consequence of these difficulties, it is imagined that the Ministers of neutral powers will wait for the instructions of their respective courts, and that if they go to the Baron de Nagel's to-day, they will go in their private, not in their ministerial capacity.
February 4. Government on Tuesday even- ing received an account not only of the arrival of the French fleet in the ports of Brest and L'Orient , but that the French have launched at L'Orient and Rochelle seven new ships of the line and six frigates, all of which have been sent round to Brest under jury masts. Such is the alacrity of this wonderful people, whose navy ac- cording to the London Gazette was ruined by Lord Hood .
BALTIMORE, April 7. A gentleman arrived last Sun- day evening from Philadelphia , informs, that he was in company with captain Ewing of the America , who has brought the important intelligence of the conquest of Holland by the French republic.
Captain Ewing says, that 200 full of vessels, each to carry 200 soldiers, independent of their crews, were preparing with all possible industry to proceed in an intended invasion of England .
He further says, that he saw a London newspaper printed late in January , which relates, that the English Parliament were wonder- fully agitated in consequence of the successes of the French in Hol- land .—In the tumult of their de- bate, Mr. Pitt repeatedly offered to resign the seals to Mr. Fox , who as often replied, that since he, Mr. Pitt , had created the storm, it was his business to stem it! and there- fore refused them.
La Fayette has certainly made his escape.
