EXINGTON:—PRINTED BY J. BRADFORD, ON MAIN STREET, WHERE SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE RECEIVED AT 15/ PER ANNUM
At a meeting of the Committee of the TRANSYLVANIA LIBRARY , held on the 22d day of October 1796, it was resolved,
That whereas many sharers in the Library, have neglected to pay their half yearly subscription of three quarters of a dollar, due in June last; they be informed by public advertisement, that agreeably to the rules of the institution, their shares will be forfeited, if their arrears be not discharged before the commencement of the next year.
HARRY TOULMIN, Clerk.
Bourbon County, Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Whereas my wife Catharine Wells has made an elopement from my bed and board without any reasonable cause, and has also got into her possession a bond of performance from John Cockey Owens, for one hundred and sixty acres of land—which bond with other effects she means to put to some use not to my advantage—these are therefore to warn and forbid any person or persons from trading, dealing, or in any wise bargaining with the said Catharine, or in any wise crediting her for any sum or sums of money or property, as I am determined not to pay or fulfil any of her contracts whatsoever.
JAMES WELLS.
September 17, 1796. N. B. She likewise took three of my children with her, which I forbid any person or persons from entertaining, harboring or concealing, at their peril, as I shall prosecute such, as the law in that case provides and directs.
Whereas my husband, James Wells, has tho't proper to advertise me for an elopement, which I never made—I think myself under the necessity of giving the public a true statement of the matter, which I am able to prove to their satisfaction. It is well known, that my elopement was by his own consent and free will, and the cries of three small children, for something to eat, which I could not bear to hear. He has not provided victuals nor cloathing for his family this five years past; and had it not been for my near connections, we might have starved. At the time he advertised me, I went, by his consent, to my sister's and took my children with me, purely to supply the present need and stop the cry for bread, and returned home again before I knew any thing of the matter. So much out of character has his conduct been, that its beneath any of the human species but those of his own character. He says that I have a bond for 160 acres of land; all the lands, and negroes, and property, that he has was mine, part of which he has sold, and spent the money to no advantage to himself or family.

VERONA, June 27.
This morning a detachment of 1000 French entered Legnago, a Venetian fort. The Republicans now occupy the right bank of the Adige, and the Austrians the left. From the movements of the Austrians, it should seem that they intended again to act offensively.
MILAN, July 6.
There have been at Pavia and Lodi, several religious and civic festivals, in which the Tree of Liberty has been planted.
Great rejoicings have been made here on account of the reduction of the citadel.
Every thing announces that the Milanese will be speedily erected into a Republic. It is the interest of the French to come soon to a resolution on this point, for the purpose of organizing a national force, and making it serve for the defence of the country. It appears that the Austrians are assembling forces to endeavor to penetrate into Lombardy. The French who are obliged to occupy a great extent of country, have also much want of reinforcements. It appears, that their plan is to unite their other conquests to the Lombardian Republic. Deputies from Modena and Romagna are just arrived here, demanding this nation.
Germany.
SUABIA, July 17.
The Austrian armies, in the countries of Baden, and Württemberg, have since the 10th been again compelled to retreat, as they suffered a considerable loss on the 9th. On the 10th they left Carlsruhe which the French entered on the evening of the next day. In the action near Wilbad, on the 11th (according to official accounts from Stuttgart) the Austrians lost about 1500 men killed, wounded and prisoners. Several squadrons of the Saxon hussars, and the chasseurs of Weymar likewise suffered very much. The Austrian army is retiring through the duty of Württemberg towards the Danube, and were encamped on the 14th inst. between Kanstadt, Ludwigsburg and Waiblingen; whence their army retreated in two columns through the Vittal and Remstal. The city of Stuttgart on the 15th and 16th was obliged to deliver 60,000 pounds of bread to the Austrian camp.
The French have taken possession of Obernagold and Oberenzthal. The head quarters of the archduke Charles which were on the 14th at Vahingen, have been removed to Heilbronn.
France.
PARIS, July 27.
The defection of the regiment of Bengey, is officially announced—that regiment is almost annihilated.
There is a report that Richery has engaged the English fleet off Cadiz.
Deputies arrived at Genoa, from Sardinia, to solicit the assistance of the French in establishing that island as a republic.
Letters from Wetz positively announce, that the king of Prussia has offered his mediation to the directory, to bring about a general pacification.
We are assured that the French are in Mannheim, and that a commissioner is arrived at Basle from the Emperor, to make overtures of peace to our ambassador.
The two armies of Moreau and Jourdan have established a communication with each other.
The duke of Württemberg, by the articles of the suspension of hostilities is obliged to pay to France four millions—to furnish four thousand horses, some thousand oxen, ammunition. He has withdrawn his troops from the Austrian army.

ARMY OF ITALY.
Extract of a letter from gen. Buonaparte, commander in chief of the army of Italy, to the Executive Directory.
"Head-Quarters at Milan 26th Messidor, July 14. A monk arrived from Trente, brings information from Romania, that the Austrians had passed Adige, raised the blockade of Mantua, and were advancing by forced marches into Romania. Sedulous writings & fanatic preachers everywhere excite insurrection. They organized in a few days what they called l'Arme Catholique et Papal - They established their headquarters at Lugo, a large town of legation at Ferrara, though situated in Romania."
General Angereau gave orders to Poursaliers, chief of the brigade, to attempt the reduction of Lugo. This officer, at the head of a battalion, arrived before this town, where the town sounded several hours. They found there some thousands of peasants."
An officer of grenadiers advanced to parley with them. They made signs to him to come forward, and the next moment he was assailed by a volley of musket shot. These wretches, as cowardly as treacherous, fled. Some hundreds were left dead on the spot."
Since this event, which happened on the 18th Messidor, (July 6) order has been restored, and all is now perfectly tranquil.
(Signed) "BUONAPARTE."

LONDON, August 2.
The officers and crews of the re-sistance, 44 guns, capt. E. Pakenham, and Orpheus, of 36 guns, capt. Newcombe, now in the East-Indies, will share more prize money on their arrival in England, than ever fell to the lot of any other before them.
August 3.
We have for some time past asserted that a misunderstanding existed between this country and Spain, and that the Executive Directory were exerting all their influence upon the Spanish government, for the purpose of inducing it to declare war against this country. The following was published this morning as a
Manifesto to the Court of Spain. Which the Marquis de las Casas, Ambassador of his Catholic Majesty at our court, has, it is said, by the direction of his court, presented to Lord Grenville. Whether the manifesto is not authentic, we have not yet been able to ascertain. It is in substance as follows.
The Spanish cabinet retraces the origin of the coalition, and mentions the principal circumstances, as well as the different events, in which both nations took an active part, during their alliance, against the French republic. This statement is followed by an account of several transactions which have taken place before and since the secession of Spain from the coalition, and her treaty of peace concluded with France, as,
First, The St. Jago prize ship, which the note contends to have been condemned in open contempt of subsisting treaties and legal forms.
Secondly. Livers circumstances which attended the capture and evacuation of Toulon, on which occasion the Spanish cabinet asserts, that the British commanders fulfilled none of the terms granted to the inhabitants under guarantee of the Spanish commanders; and that they carried off several French ships, without allowing the Spaniards any part of the prizes.
Thirdly. The embargo laid on our ports on wood for ship-building bought up in the north of Europe on the account of the Spanish government which was left rotting either on board the ships, or in ware-houses, where it could not be taken care of.
Fourthly. The embargo laid on the ships purchased in England on Spanish account, and with the consent of our government, after the French had got possession of the Spanish foundations, which fire-arms were obliged to be resold by the Spanish agents at a considerable loss.
Fifthly. The insult offered to his Catholic Majesty, in the person of the Marquis de las Casas, his ambassador when he had his first audience with Lord Grenville.
Sixthly. The seizure of silks sent to this country by Spanish merchants, which they had bought no at their
own account at the sale of the prizes made by admiral Richery, and which they had sent to England conformable to the laws of Great Britain.
Seventhly. That the stoppage of several Spanish vessels, the vexatious proceedings daily exercised against them, by the commanders of the squadrons of Britanic Majesty, as well in the Mediterranean as in other seas."
A war with Spain will, we should suppose, be considered as a most calamitous event to this country, by every person in it. The time was, when the idea of a Spanish war diffused almost general satisfaction; but the sentiments of the nation are now we believe, changed; and the people begin to be convinced, that galleons and register ships, however rich their cargoes may be, afford but a poor compensation to the country for the additional taxes and burthens, which are the sure and permanent effect of every war.
August 4.
[The above contradicted.] The manifesto which was published in a ministerial paper yesterday morning, we gave without any comment. We have since learnt that no such manifesto has been presented to the king's ministers, and this the ministerial paper itself confesses; though the same paper also states that "they are persuaded, after the most minute enquiry, that such complaints as they have alleged, have been forwarded by the court of Madrid to its ambassador in London." Now it certainly will be with every one a natural subject of enquiry, why the court of Madrid or its ambassador, thought proper to communicate a document of such importance to the editor of a newspaper, before they made it known to his majesty's ministers? - Such a mode of conduct would in the Spanish ambassador be a flagrant violation of duty. Besides, the document itself is clumsily drawn up. The subjects of complaints are weakly handled and the whole appears to us to be a forgery, which cannot lay claim even to the merit of ingenuity.
Not that we mean to give it as our opinion that there exists no difference between this country and Spain. On the contrary we have reason to believe that the Spanish government has transmitted serious complaints to our cabinet; that the executive Directory possess great influence over the Spanish councils, and that they are endeavouring to convert Spain from a doubtful friend into a decided foe of this country.
The matter of a neutral vessel, arrived at Leith, mentions that two of the vessels which were engaged with the Glutton, are arrived at Flushing; one of them had one half of her crew killed, and her gun deck entirely torn up; the other was very much shattered.
A lugger, which arrived at Plymouth the day before yesterday, brings advice of a convoy having sailed from Brest for Bourdeaux, consisting of two frigates, two corvettes, and twenty six sail of merchantmen. It was rumored at Plymouth, the day before yesterday, that a French fleet was at sea.
Letters from Bonn state, that the siege of Ehrenbreitstein will speedily begin in form.

From Barbadoes. Capt Bacon, arrived here yesterday, left Barbadoes, August 24; he informs, that on the 19th of August a frigate arrived there from Gibraltar, with the intelligence of war being DECLARED BETWEEN ENGLAND AND SPAIN, and that previous to his sailing, several privateers were sitting out and one had actually sailed on a cruise. It was supposed that the Dutch fleet would soon make an attack on that place, an event which seemed considerably to alarm the inhabitants. (Boston Marine List.)
September 23.
FROM FRANCE. Capt. Bennett, who arrived on Wednesday, from Bayonne, in France, had a passage of 44 days. The only paper that he brought out with him, and which was of the third of August, he gave to the lieutenant of a French frigate, which boarded him. The paper contained accounts of the capture of Frankfort - and mentioned, that after its first capture, the Austrians again got possession of it; but the French succeeded in retaking and
holding the city. After the capture of Frankfort, the siege of Mentz commenced. - A war between Spain and England was expected. An English frigate had been taken by the Terrible, of 74 guns, and carried into a small harbor called the Passaget. Provisions of every kind were cheap; & brandy about 7 or 8 livres per velt.
FEVER AT CHARLESTON.
Extract of a letter from Charleston, S.C. August 31.
"It is impossible to describe to you the wretched situation of this city - The fever rages with accumulated fury. For several days past the deaths have exceeded thirty; and the average for a month past will be twenty. Business is at a stand."

We have been favored with the following extract of a letter from an American in Lisbon, to his brother in this city, dated,
"Lisbon, August 11, 1796."
"Ever since I have been here, there has been the greatest appearance of a rupture between Spain and England. It has at length taken place; Spain has shut its ports against England, and it was reported yesterday, and currently believed, that a part of the Spanish fleet had sailed in conjunction with the French, their destination unknown."
"The French have been uniformly successful in Italy; and the present appearance is, that the pope will be dethroned, or will be forced to make peace with the French, upon their own terms. Indeed they have already levied heavy contributions upon several of his provinces, and made a demand upon him of 20,000,000 florins. On the Rhine they are equally successful. If this campaign ends as successfully as it has begun, the French will have no enemy in Europe that will be able to contend with them. The Portuguese are in expectation of a visit from them through the territories of Spain."
"In consequence the greatest exertions are making to raise an army of fifty thousand men, to march to their frontiers, by the first of October."
Extract of a letter from a mercantile house in Lisbon, to their friend in this city, dated 11th August.
"The political situation of Portugal becomes very critical, since it is no longer to be doubted, that WAR will immediately take place between England and Spain. - A Spanish squa-
dron sailed on the 4th inst. from Cadiz, in company with the French vessels of war which have been so long there, under the command of Admiral Richery. It is said also that the French have demanded a passage thro' Spain, for fifty thousand troops, nominally destined for Gibraltar."
September 26.
A fire broke out at Quebec, the beginning of this month, which consumed the convent of Recoletos and 13 or 14 houses - many other houses are materially injured. It was occasioned by some boys amusing themselves with gun powder near a quantity of hay.
September 27.
A privateer with 21 men, boarded and took possession of an English ship of 800 tons, and 150 men, under pretence of putting a pilot on board. The French capt. quitted his vessel to carry the enemy to the coast of Malabar. From thence he shaped his course in his prize to the Isle of France, where he arrived without meeting any accident. I hope this caption will prove as profitable as the taking of it was honorable. I conjecture from the number of men who were on board of the English ship, that it is a vessel from either Surat or Bombay, armed with Lascars.
South Carolina.
CHARLESTON, Sept. 5.
In Saturday's paper we mentioned, that it appeared by a Philadelphia paper that General Pinckney was spoken of there as minister plenipotentiary to the French republic, in the place of Mr. Monroe, who is recalled. We are since informed by good authority, that the general received notice of his nomination to that important station from the president of the United States, as early as the 27th of July last, and that he has gone to Philadelphia in consequence of the nomination.
As the latest accounts from Europe hold out the prospect of a peace being near at hand between the French republic and the continental powers still at war with her, it is more than probable, on this event taking place, that new regulations respecting commerce, will be brought forward, and it may be necessary for America to renew her treaties with the French republic and the other powers. Should this be the case, it must be highly satisfactory to the citizens of the United States that the negotiations are to be entrusted to so able a civilian, and one who has always evinced that he has the honor and interest of his country sincerely at heart.
Pennsylvania.
PHILADELPHIA, September 23.
We informed our readers on Monday, that the Vengeance cutter, belonging to capt. Barney, was arrived at St. Croix with a valuable prize - We have now to add, that the prize is the ship Cochran, from Liverpool bound to martinique. The news from Boston published the same day, of the arrival at Barbadoes of a British frigate from Gibraltar, is confirmed by capt. Carson of the schooner Susannah, arrived at the fort from Barbadoes, which he left the 31st August. The frigate took three Spanish ships on her passage, and sent them to Jamaica, until it should be determined whether war has been actually declared between the two nations: one of them was supposed to be worth 125,000 ster. Several privateers had sailed from Barbadoes to cruise against the Spaniards.
Virginia.
PETERSBURG, September 13.
On the 18th ultimo, arrived at Raleigh, (North-Carolina) from the state of Tennessee, Surry county, Col. Hubbard, distinguished by the Indians for his undaunted bravery, who brings accounts that the Creek Indians have lately broke out unprovoked, stole about 20 horses, and marched out of the settlement very deliberately; having made but a short day's march, they were followed by a party of active whitemen and overtaken, but their number was too formidable for an attack; they were all mounted and well armed, in number (as well as the whitemen) could guess at the distance of 200 yards) about three hundred. The whitemen left letters on the trees where they made a stand, informing the Indians of the great evil which

WHAT song or hymn, Or note sublime, Can speak the mighty wonder; His various ways Are above praise, And infinite in number—  When that he spoke, From nought awoke Each world to light and motion; And round our ball, Gave life to all Who live in earth, air, ocean.  On Cherub rides Great JAH, who guides The wheels and springs of nature— All things that are, His power declare— Adore him ev'ry creature.

Run away from the subscriber, last night, near Washington, in Mason county, Kentucky, a mulatto boy named Uriah, alias, Hugh, near nineteen years old, about five feet nine or ten inches high, a likely straight limbed fellow, has long feet for his age, and has a bashful or down look when spoken to by his superiors. He had on and took with him, a light colored fustian with metal buttons, a full lined straight bodied coat, and one short nankeen ditto, a red flannel jacket, one home made cotton ditto, and one striped nankeen ditto, brown linsy overalls, and one plain nankeen ditto, a white linen shirt, and one tow ditto, a felt hat, and good strong shoes. It is expected he will try to get to a paper mill in Carolina or Virginia, as he has worked at that business, and has been heard to say, he would try to get to a paper mill again. Whoever will apprehend and bring him to me, or give information so that I get him again, shall have the above reward.

NOTICE.
ALL persons having demands against John May deceased, either for money due to them, or for contracts payable in lands, are requested to transmit to the subscriber a copy of their demands or contracts. All who are indebted to said John May, either for money due to him, or for contracts for land purchased from him, or for locating lands in the state of Kentucky, are requested to make payment, and to perform their specific contracts immediately. The said deceased was by his last will and testament, subjected his lands to the payment of his debts, and the subscriber will make it the first object of his administration to provide for the same; with as much dispatch as the nature and circumstances of the estate will admit of. And whereas the said John May met with a premature death, by the hands of the Indians on his passage down the river Ohio, many papers and much information perished with him; 'tis probable the subscriber may need the information of others in some matters relative to the negotiation of the deceased, in the western country, and he will thankfully receive any communications which gentlemen acquainted with the concerns of the deceased may think proper to make.
I have appointed Mr. Thomas Carneal my agent in Kentucky to receive and forward all communications in that state, alluded to above, as the want of a legal representative since the death of Mr. May, has obstructed all operations relative to his transactions and no doubt to the injury of many, I now intreat that all persons concerned may bring forward their business immediately. DAVID ROSS, Administrator. Richmond, January 22, 1796. P. S. Letters directed to me in Lexington upon the aforesaid business (postage paid) shall be duly attended to by THO. CARNEAL.
