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 pa- per, and bound in boards. The first Num- ber to contain all the laws of a General Na- ture 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, con- taining an Abstract of the Duties of a Justice of the Peace, taken from the most Appro- ved Authors, with the different forms of pro- cess in that office; as well as the most use- ful 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 un- handy to carry about, but also more liable to in- jury and therefore less durable; and as it is provable that the general laws will hereafter remain a considerable length of time with lit- tle 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. JOHN BRADFORD.
To be Let, FOR ONE OR MORE YEARS, A VALUABLE SAW AND GRIST MILL, in the county of Woodford, on Green creek, about half a mile above Tanner's mill, and one from the Kentucky river, a very good road leading thereto from said mills, which are situated in an excellent neighborhood, and with a little repair are capable of doing a great deal of business.

LEXINGTON
Saturday, August 5, 1797.
A gentleman from this state enclosed the following proclamation from New Orleans—his date of the 4th of June, and observes, it contains all the political news in that city. He further observes, that markers are very low and dull—no shipping in port—British privateers swarming off the mouth of the Mississippi, and truly lamentable to see us long faced adventurers stalking up and down through the streets, without being able to obtain a market here, or any probability of exporting our cargoes to any other market.
PROCLAMATION. Government having received information through her minister, near the United States of America, that an expedition collected on the lakes, would this summer, attack the Illinois—hath thought proper, for the security and tranquillity of Lower Louisiana, to suspend the already commenced evacuation of the posts of Natchez & Nogales. These being the only posts which cover the lower province, the cession of them would enable the English, should they render themselves masters of Upper Louisiana, to disturb and ravage that country; and this would be the more easily effected, as by an article of the treaty lately concluded with Great Britain, the United States acknowledge that the English may navigate freely, and frequent the posts of said states, upon the rivers in general, lakes, &c. a manifest contradiction to the treaty concluded with Spain, which it seems to annul, since by this last, the United States declare, that no nation shall navigate the Mississippi, without the consent of Spain.
Although the legitimacy of these motives of suspension hath been represented with suitable candor to the congress of the United States, & communicated by our orders to the commissioner for running the boundary line, as well as to the commanding officer of the detachment of American troops now at Natchez; yet, we are informed that a detachment from the army of the United States, stationed on the Ohio, is now on its way thro' Holston to the Natchez, whilst the militia of Cumberland have been warned to hold themselves in readiness to march on the shortest notice.
These hostile arrangements, which can only relate to these provinces, since the U. States are now at peace with all the savage nations; the recent threats of the commissioner for establishing the boundary line, and of the officer commanding the American detachment at Natchez; the prospect, and (if we may credit an American gazette) the commencement of a rupture between France (our intimate ally) and the said states, all advise us to be upon our guard, and ready to defend our possessions with that valor, that energy, which the inhabitants of this country have displayed on all occasions, with that advantage and superiority which a knowledge of their local situation afford, with that confidence which integrity and justice inspire. If the congress of the United States entertain no hostile designs against these provinces, let them leave the posts of Natchez & Nogales, which are the only barriers between the English and Lower Louisiana; or let them secure us against that article of the British treaty which exposes even the capital of Lower Louisiana to be sacked and pillaged—we will then evacuate the post, and lay down those arms which they force us to assume, by arming their militia in a time of profound peace, and sending a considerable body of troops by circuitous routes to surprize us.
New-Orleans, May 31, 1797. [K. Herald.]
By a gentleman who arrived in town yesterday evening from Tennessee, we are informed, that the inhabitants of that state were greatly agitated on hearing of the detection of the late governor Blount—that he believes most of the principal characters in that state are of Blount's party—that about the 26th ult. Blount was apprehended in Lexington (Rockbridge county Virginia) and was sent to Staunton where he was ironed and imprisoned—that he was apprehended by a party of horse, who pursued him from Philadelphia.
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.

George Thompson. June 6, 1797.
One hundred Dollars reward.
STOLEN OUT OF MY SHOP THREE WATCHES, & TWO GOLD RINGS.
ONE of which is a small French gold Watch, which I missed about the 20th of last September. I am informed the maker's name (which was on the face, and perhaps on the inside also) was L'Eppe, a Paris—these was a piece broke out of the face by winding with two large keys; if any carving on the case, it was only a little round the rim and joint; when stolen it looked dull by lying some time out of use, wanted cleaning and a glass, had a small yellow chain with flat links and a small flat gilt key. The silver watches were both milled since the middle of this month: one of which was of the new kind of flat watches, with gold bands, made by James Miller, London, No. 2396, if I remember right. The other was what is called a Holland watch, but I think it was made by John Aarden, Liverpool, No. 1013, as well as I recollect; the cock over the balance-wheel was silver, in which was a garnet stone for the wheel to run on; she had yellow hands, and the outside case shut like a box without any spring. One of the Kings was of a common kind, with middle sized square white stone. The other was an old mourning Ring, which weighed about half a guinea, lettered with "Frances Nelson, obit (date forgot) Aetas 84," but scarcely legible.
Whoever apprehends and delivers to me the thief or thieves, and the articles above mentioned, shall be entitled to the above reward, or twenty dollars for each watch, and one dollar for each ring.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
An ANACREON to FLIP.
Spring! to thy bar-room skip, Make a foaming mug of FLIP; Make it from our country's staple, Rum, New-England, Sugar, Maple, Beer that's brew'd from Hops and Pumpkin, Grateful to the thirsty Bunkin. Mark! I hear thy poker sizzle, And o'er the mug the liquor drizzle; All against the earthen mug, I hear the horn spoon's cheerful dub; I see thee, Stingo, taste the Flip, And sing thy quid from under lip, Then pour more rum, and, bottle stopping, Stir it again, and swear 'tis topping.
Come quickly, bring the humming liquor, Richer than ale of British vicar; Better than unquebaugh Hibernian, Or than Flaccus' fam'd Falernian: More potent, healthy racy, frisky, Than Holland's gin, or Georgia's whiskey. Come, make a ring around the fire. And hand the mug unto the squire: Here, deacon, take the elbow chair, And ensign Holliday, sit there: You take the dye-tub, you the churn, And I'll the double corner turn.
See the mantling liquor rise! And burn their cheeks, and close their eyes, See the fiddling mug incline, Hear them curse their dull divine, Who on Sunday dar'd to rail, At Brewster's Flip, or Downer's Ale. Quick, Stingo, fly and bring another, The deacon here, shall pay for Pouter, Ensign and I the third will share, It's due on swop for pie-bald mare.
ANECDOLE.
A little before the battle of Saratoga, in 1777, an American light-horseman deserted to Burgoyne, leaving his horse behind him, with the troops under Arnold. When Burgoyne's case became desperate, a friend of the light horseman's observed, "That he had taken better care of his horse than of himself."

IN the latter end of the year 1795, a certain William Owens, of Scott county, took up a dark roan mare, about five years old; and a strawberry roan filly, neither of which was branded, or any other visible mark. In the beginning of the year '96, he traded the mare to Alexander Mahan, who traded her to a certain Asa Gruell who has taken her out of the state. In the latter part of the year '96, said Owens traded the filly to John McCarty, previous to which he branded it thus J. As I have good reason to believe that said Owens has not acted agreeably to law, and as I have taken up said filly, I take this method of giving the above information to enable the owner to obtain his property.
