An act giving further time to the owners of lands to survey the same, and for returning plats and certificates to the Register's office.
Whereas it appears that an act passed by the assembly of Virginia in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-five, entitled, 'An act to repeal an act, entitled, An act concerning entries and surveys on the western waters,' which has been continued by subsequent acts of the legislature of Virginia and this state, may subject the owners of entries to forfeiture of the same, if the requisitions of the said acts should not be complied with; for remedy whereof,
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the general assembly, that the further time of ten months from the last day of November 1797, be allowed the owners of entries to survey the same, in any part of this state, which is not let apart by treaties for any tribe of Indians. Provided however, that no forfeiture shall arise to the claimants of entries within the boundary ceded by Congress to the Indian tribes, until further provided for by the legislature. And that the further time of two years be given to survey all entries made either to adjoin the line to be run between this state and Virginia, or the line adjoining the lands reserved for the officers and soldiers south of Green river, or any entries dependent on such entries, any law to the contrary notwithstanding.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, that the further time of one year be allowed for returning all plats and certificates of survey to the Register's office. Provided, that nothing in this or any other act shall extend to forfeit or make void any entry claimed by infants, feme coverts, persons non compos mentis, or persons in captivity; but that all such persons shall have three years after their several disabilities are removed, to complete the same.
This act shall commence and be in force from and after the passage thereof.
Approved November 20, 1797.

HAGUE, August 22.
Several persons returned representatives, to the convention, refuse to serve.
September 19.
The convention has voted an address to the French, begging not to be condemned hastily, for not adopting the constitution.
A new commission is forming a new constitution.
A treaty offensive and defensive with Spain, was this day ratified. The principles are similar to those of the French and Spanish treaty.
September 23.
A national festival is ordered to celebrate the French events of September 4. All public officers are to be required to swear "Eternal hatred against the stadholderiship, aristocracy and anarchy."
LONDON, September 3.
The letters and papers which we have received this morning from Edinburgh, and other parts of Scotland, give the most distressing accounts of the situation of that country, produced by the attempts made to put in execution the militia act.
At Tranent, a small town, about 9 miles from Edinburgh, it appears from the accounts published in a Scotch newspaper, that the cavalry charged the people in the streets, who were assembled to oppose the act, and that a horrid carnage consequently ensued.
At Dumfries and Moffatt, and various other places, the same discontent prevails. In the county of which the duke of Hamilton is lord lieutenant, his grace has deemed it prudent not to put the act in force. The parish of Monkland, and some other parishes, have assembled, and voted him thanks for adopting this prudent line of conduct.
September 6.
The Bey of Tunis, has officially declared he will not observe the arrangements made with the United States in October last. But the Dey of Algiers has interfered, and it is hoped he will alter his mind.
September 8.
The last proposition of our government, in France, was to retain the Cape of Good Hope, Trinidad and Ceylon.
September 20.
With much concern we now say, that lord Malmesbury has returned to England without accomplishing the object of his mission.
With respect to the causes which led to the rupture of the negotiations, the only information we have been able to obtain, is, that on the arrival of the new commissioners, Treilhard and Bonniere at Lille, they demanded of lord Malmesbury a final and categorical answer to the terms which had some time before been presented to him as the sine qua non of peace. His lordship's reply was, that in that stage of the negotiation he was not authorized by his court to agree to the propositions of the Executive Directory. The commissioners immediately observed, that it was evident his lordship was not vested with the necessary powers to treat; and therefore, that his further residence at Lille would be dispensed with by the government of France. This observation was followed by a peremptory order to quit the territories of the Republic in the course of eight and forty hours. It is added, that some insulting insinuations were at the same time thrown out against the British cabinet, upon the subject of the late conspiracy in France.—Such, we are informed, was the abrupt manner in which the negotiation was brought to a final termination.
September 25.
Mr. Vick, is sent by government to France to make one effort more for negotiation.
October 2.
Mr. Vick has returned unsuccessful, and no other person has been sent.
MILAN, September 4.
Gen. Buonaparte arrived at Udina on the 3d of September. The congress is held at the house of the marquis de Gallo; but nothing that discloses progress is permitted to transpire. All we know, is, that at the first conference, Buonaparte held this language—"I apprise you that in a few days all this negotiation must be brought to an end. The French gov-
ernment is anxious for peace, though it be completely prepared to prosecute the war; it is well aware of the immense preparations made by the emperor for the continuation of hostilities, at which it has not as yet taken any umbrage, judging of the rectitude of his Imperial majesty's intention by its own, but a more protracted security on the part of the French Republic might subject it to the imputation of imprudence; a decisive step must therefore be taken."
PARIS, September 15.
The prince de Conde had set off from Neufchatel to return to France. On the 1st and 2d inst. he crossed the departments of Doubs and the Upper Saone, and on the 3d he was seen at Lyons. He made his journey without opposition, accompanied only by two men on horseback, as servants or aides-de-camp. At the time the courier set out, one of those men had been arrested, and they were in pursuit of the other.
September 17.
Fouville, read on charge yesterday, a letter, stating, that an insurgent army of the south, was 60,000 strong; that they had killed 1000 Republicans and forced general Larne to capitulate.
The theatres are ordered to be closed, where pieces have been represented which appeared to favor royalty; and the actors arrested.
September 23.
What we have announced relative to the appointment of general Hoche to the post of generalissimo of the two armies of the Rhine is positive. An order to this effect has been issued from the war department.
If, contrary to all appearances, say the letters from Milan, hostilities with the emperor should be renewed, the Piedmontese troops will join the French army. This point is decided. It is even reported that they will form a body of 15,000 men. Venice will furnish 10,000, the Cisalpine Republic 20,000, and the army of Kellerman 30,000, amounting to a reinforcement of 75,000 for the army of Italy, which will be under the command of Malena, Barnadotte, &c.
There is the strongest reason to believe, that the courier dispatched by the Directory on the night of the 2d and 3d complementary day, September 18 and 19, carried to Buonaparte the orders to renew hostilities with the emperor. At the very moment when the courier set off, a courier arrived from Lille with the intelligence that lord Malmesbury had quitted that city, and had set out for London. His departure, which so soon succeeded the arrival of Treilhard and Bonnier, was the result of the first conversation with the new negotiators—"Have you power," said Treilhard to lord Malmesbury, "to restore to the French Republic all her colonies?"—"No."—"Why, then go home and get them."
September 26.
Administration of general Police to the editor of the Annales Politiques.
"Reports are spread that the deputies sentenced to transportation have escaped. This intelligence is false, and you are desired to contradict it by the channel of your paper."
(Signed)
"SOTIN, Minister of General Police."
The Directory held an extraordinary meeting on the 22d inst. to which not even the ministers were admitted—Its object is said to have been the necessary dispositions for opening the campaign.
September 27.
The commissary of the executive power the municipal administration of police, writes as follows—"General Dutertre, commander of the armed force, charged with escorting to Rochfort the transported members of the 19th Fructidor, arrived here the first complementary day. He was arrested two days afterwards, by order of the government, five leagues from hence, and set out next morning under a strong guard of gendarmes.—The reports concerning the troubles said to have taken place at Lyons, have been contradicted by a letter from the departmental administration of the Rhone, stating that no column of the army of Italy has arrived in this city, and that the column expected will find no obstacle. The administrators add, that Lyons, where public tranquility
has not been troubled for one instant by the news of the salutary events of the 18th, still continues calm, and that the measures of public safety, ordered in consequence of that memorable day, are rigorously executed."
From the (London) Courier.
July 31.
Paris papers of the 26th and 27th inst. were brought to our office this morning. Their contents, if not very important, are at least interesting. As we were unable on Saturday to give more than a sketch of the debate which took place in the Council of Five Hundred, on the 24th instant, we have, in this day's paper, given the very interesting speeches of Talien and Henri Lariviere at length. The latter has had a very considerable share in the merit which attaches to those men who have lent their aid to royalize France.
The extracts which we have given from the Gazettes of the 26th and 27th inst. are interesting—The attempt to displace Barras by messieurs Willot, Ayme, &c. has not succeeded. A message from the Directory to the council of Five hundred states him to have attained the age of forty previously to his being elected a Director.
The Eclair talks of a reconciliation having taken place between the members of the Council of Five Hundred, who have lately been in the practice of contradicting each other. As far as this regards the moderate and the violent republicans, it is possible; but to suppose that the royalist members (and royalist members certainly sit in the council) ever can agree with the republicans, is to suppose the existence of that which in the nature of things can never take place.
August 12.
The emigrants and priests through the medium of a venal press, with Camille and Laharpe at their head, have certainly been very successful in their endeavors to royalize France. At Paris, in the Departments, throughout the whole nation, the Republic is mentioned only to be ridiculed or reviled. Of the truth of this assertion, the arrival of every packet from Calais, brings some additional proof. Will, then, it will be asked, the old government be re-established in France? Our opinion is, that it certainly will not. Many men who now make use of the language of royalism, and unknowingly favor the views of the monarchical faction, are, notwithstanding, the friends of liberty, and will prove themselves to be so when the mask shall be torn from the faces of those who now mislead them. A miscreant faction might light up the torch of civil war—may cover the country with human gore—may, as in Ireland, pillage, massacre, devastate and destroy; but to erect a despotism on the ruins of the Republic, is not within the limits of possibility. Royalty, it is true, at present rears its head, apparently triumphant: but when the enemies of the constitution, fancying themselves certain of success, shall venture to make an attack, it will be repelled by the Augereaus, the Buonapartes, the Hoches, the Jouberts, and Massenas, who have so decidedly declared in favor of the Republic. It may however be said, that if the majority of the nation wish for royalty, and they are compelled by the army to take a Republic, the government in that case will be nothing better than a military despotism. To this we oppose our former assertion, that many persons friendly to liberty are now the dupes of those royalists who put on the mask of the constitution: but when the latter will shew themselves in their true colours, by attacking openly the Republic, that part of the nation who have hitherto been seduced by the artifices of the counter-revolutionary party, will immediately rally round the constitution and defend it with their lives. A free government, we are decidedly of opinion, will be maintained in France, in spite of the efforts of all the priests and monarchists in Europe to prevent it.
[Can plainer language be spoken than we find in this paragraph. Here we see the faction in France, now happily prostrated, termed a monarchical, counter-revolutionary faction, by the editor of a London print, and said to receive their support from emigrants and priests. The prophetic spirit of it is little less remarkable. It predicts the downfall of that faction, three
weeks before the event which has fully justified the prediction.]
[AURORA.]
August 14.
Little variation has taken place in the features which have distinguished the French capital for the last three months. A numerous body of royalists make use of the liberty they enjoy, under a free government, to destroy the republic, and raise on its ruins the ancient despotism. These, with a small at least comparatively small body of Terrorists, use every endeavor to excite insurrection. The mass of the people manifest as much apathy as the people of England, whilst the real friends of liberty lament their inability to put a stop to the counter-revolutionary proceedings of the Pretender's party. The walls of Paris are covered by the factions with a variety of inflammatory bills. One of the last that made its appearance is entitled, "The Directory convicted of falsehood, perfidy & embezzlement." Bills of this nature however are now become so common, that the people pass by without stopping to read them. The violence of one or two members of the Council of Five Hundred, who have lately made such bold attempts to overturn the government that they are elected to defend, seems in some degree to be abated.
August 15.
A message from the Directory, dated the 9th of August, in answer to one which they received from the Council of Five Hundred, requesting information relative to the march of the troops in the interior, was sent, it appears, to that Council on the following day.
This message written in a tone of confidence and of conscious rectitude—and which we have given at length, in order that our readers may be able to appreciate the charges brought against the Directory by some of the gentlemen [the term gentlemen is obviously used here in derision, and in contradistinction to Republican] of the Council of Five Hundred, states, that the coalesced powers had lately manifested (apparently in consequence of the manner in which the Council of Five Hundred had conducted itself towards the Directory) as much tardiness in their proceedings relative to the negotiations, as they at first discovered readiness to enter into them.
The fete of the tenth of August, it appears, was celebrated with more éclat than has lately distinguished any of the Republican festivals.—La Marque, also, in the council of five hundred, has ventured to say a word in favor of the Republic. A particular account of the Fete—a paper, by Roderer, on the present state of the Republic, and some other interesting articles, we are compelled to defer till to-morrow.
The editor of the London Morning Post, speaking of the acts of September 4, makes the following pertinent remarks, the merits of which the reader will judge:
"We blame the directory more for violating forms, for prostituting and disgracing the name of freedom, than for the steps they have taken—to seize and transport the representatives of the people without trial, all most without charge, is wholly inconsistent with a free constitution. But we question whether or not the existence of the French republic did not depend on the measures that have been pursued. The peculiar circumstances of the French revolution render it absolutely necessary, that a great injustice should be done, in order to establish a republican form of government. Where a people like the Americans, are not embarrassed with an aristocracy and a priesthood, the establishment of a republic is easily effected. No man has a personal interest in opposing it, and opinion wholly divested of personal interest will do but little. In France it is very different. France has an almost numberless nobility and priesthood, whose education, habit, prejudices, and personal interest, make them zealous advocates for the ancient order of things. Most of them fled from no other motive than fear, without having committed any crime; for surely it is no crime to think one form of government better than another—no crime is even charged upon them.—Absence is all with which they are accused. But it is certainly true that

all of them are royalists.—Their return to France is inconsistent with the existence of a republic. A great injustice must therefore be done by excluding them, in order to preserve the republic. It is in this view alone that the conduct of the directory can be executed. A great party, some from motives of justice and humanity, others with a view to the ultimate restoration of royalty, had raised itself in France, and even governed the legislature, repealing by degrees all the laws against the emigrants and priests opening a way for their return, and consequently for the re-establishment of the throne. If the vanquished party in France had triumphed, a king would have been expected as the consequence. Indeed the return of monarchy was spoken of before the 4th of September with the greatest confidence, as an event not far distant. The conduct of the arrested deputies gave the strongest reason to expect it. Some of them are no doubt honest in their intentions, but many of them are traitors to the republic, the friends of which will regret that its salvation should render necessary, measures the most despotic. They will regret that freedom in France should be afforded that she cannot exercise her functions—that the must still fly to anarchy for protection against despotism.”
VIENNA, August 23.
If we way judge from the appearance of the political horizon, the great military preparations making here, seem much more to portend war than peace. The state chancery is especially active, in which the count Cobenzel lately arrived here from Peterburgh, exerts his abilities much to the satisfaction of the emperor and his ministers. There seems but little doubt but on the next change, he will have the place of the minister of state. The war chancery is equally busy; in the founderies, musket manufactories, arsenals &c. they work night and day. Troops are incessantly on the march; to that Vienna is every day filled with fresh soldiers; the greater part of which now come from Poland, and are on their march for Italy.
ITALY, August 17.
The conspiracy lately discovered at Rome, was more extensive than was at first imagined. The precautionary measures are still continued. No person is permitted to leave the city without a pass. Loaded cannon are planted in several places. Among the many persons who have been arrested for distributing seditious papers are the brothers Bouchard, Booksellers; the Abbes Martelli and Sarei; Dr. Justi; the two rich Jews, Arearelli and Ambrosi, &c. Some of the persons who have been arrested, have alleged that they were French, or under French protection; but this protection has been refused them by the French ambassador at Rome, who has declared that he will never interfere in any affair of that kind.
Since the revolution at Genoa, the nightly murders of the banditti, which were so frequent, have ceased.
CONCORD, (Vermont,) October 9.
On the 20th day of May, in the year 1794. Sabra Woodbury, aged three years and a half, daughter to lieutenant Joseph Woodbury, in Concord, Vermont, got a button into her throat, of the size of a copper, and remained there until October, the 6th inst. when she disengaged it by vomiting. The button was wore thin in one place. The whole time that it was in her throat was three years, four months and sixteen days.—The above is a matter of fact!!!
BOSTON, November 10.
General Hoche is dead. It was supposed he was poisoned; but no marks of poison were discoverable on his being opened. This is a report by the Martha, (the last arrival.)
The famous Louvet is dead.
NEW-YORK, November 15.
As far as can yet be judged from the intelligence that has been received by the last arrivals from Europe, the late attempts at a revolution in France was nothing more than a renewal of the old struggles for a restoration of monarchy. The return of an immense herd of banished priests, with a no less numerous accompaniment of the
servile devotees of Louis XVIII, as by law permitted, gave royalty some room to suppose that a revolution in its favor might be effected. Nothing shews in a more striking light the folly of the despotic combination in Europe against the liberties and happiness of mankind. At a time when the people are beginning to act for themselves, and see the necessity of it, what weakness and ignorance does it shew in the arbitrary powers, to depend on the efforts of the expelled clergy or court dependents, to restore their drooping cause, in such a country as France, where philosophy has laid the basis of a general system in favor of human liberty.—On the 20th of September lord Malmesbury and his suite arrived in London, having quitted Lisle, without accomplishing the object of his mission—peace. Admiral Nelson had arrived in London, after his unfortunate expedition against Teneriffe. The populace gave him three cheers; he thanked them; he appeared somewhat chagrined at the loss of his right arm; but the fracture was doing well, and he was comforted by the acclamations of the people.—The return of lord Malmesbury, without effecting a peace, had greatly depressed the spirits of every class of people; there being a general conviction that without a system of pacification speedily to be adopted, an equal ruin must be the result, the expenses of war being so enormous, that it appeared beyond the ability of the nation to pay them, in case of a continuance of the war. The crops of the past season had generally failed in England; orders are said to have been received, in consequence, of large exports of wheat from the United States. The English public prints assert, that, another year's war will add at least 70,000,000 sterling to the national debt of Great Britain, the gross debt amounting to 500,000,000 sterling; under which the nation cannot but sink. The people were calling out for a permanent peace; and a negotiation under the auspices of Charles Fox, was thought to be the only remaining chance for political salvation.
ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 8.
The following little anecdote, related by a gentleman who was in the West-Indies when the transaction took place, may serve to shew a trait of the character of Toussaint, the black general, commanding at Cape Francois. The gentleman to whom Toussaint, while a slave, belonged, was one of those unfortunate victims whose property was destroyed, and who were obliged to fly the island when the troubles first took place. He had occasion to return, in abject poverty and extreme distress, at the time that his former servant had just received the promotion to which his talents and integrity entitled him. The moment that Toussaint was informed that his old master was on board of a vessel at the wharf, not the least elated with his newly acquired dignity, he hastened with every emotion of joy to meet him, and flew into his arms, exclaiming that it was his “dear, dear master!” He then took him to his house; administered to his wants with every mark of attention, and provided him with the most comfortable situation in his power, in his own family.

LEXINGTON:
Wednesday, December 13.
We have had no mail down the Ohio this week, owing it is supposed to the ice in that river, which we learn has been very considerable for a week past. If the cold weather should continue, it is probable the mail will be sent by land, and if so, we shall be relieved from a situation similar to the one in which we were placed last season, on account of the ice.
By a resolution of the General Assembly, at their late session, French Crowns are to be received into the treasury of this state at Six shillings and Seven pence each.
The following remarkable paragraph appears in a Paris paper under the Naples head: “People here are beginning to discover their true interests, in setting at liberty such numbers of unfortunate persons as have been long languishing in prison, no one knows for what. Government, seeing the revolution temper of the people, are doing every thing in their power to prevent an explosion, much more dreadful than those of Vesuvius, and which would be proof against all the congealed blood in the vial of St. Januarius, or all the miracles in the power of the church. The numerous body called the Lazzaroni, or sturdy beggars, are particularly soothed and caressed by the king, for fear of an insurrection; but we hear no more their shouts and vociferation as formerly, when he showed himself to them, as a mark of their attachment; at present they pass and re-pass him in sullen silence—and thus the the silence of the people may be a lesson for kings.
In Sicily, the spirit of liberty make still greater progress, and there is no doubt but the island will undergo a political revolution: it has been a nest of the most infernal tyrants and pitiful slaves from the earliest ages, when it was inhabited by the giant Cyclops and his one eyed brethren; and the people have ever been subjugated, devoured, tortured, and not even suffered to take advantage of the natural fertility of the island, for the purposes of exportation and private emolument.”

To distillers and others
WHO may incline to carry on the business of rectifying spirituous liquors and the manufacturing cordials in an extensive manner, may now be supplied with the necessary articles for carrying on the same, by applying at the sign of Andrew McCall's Apothecary's shop near Gray pen Lexington. The Articles principally are for making the following liquors, viz.
Spiritous aniseed-water ditto clove-water ditto to orange-water, all fours, &c. Also for making brandy and geneva equal in flavour and purity to that imported—There are upwards of 300lbs. of Holland juniper berries and 100lbs. aniseeds, which may be purchased distinct from the other articles, if applied for soon. Any person or persons inclining to purchase the whole, or the juniper berries or aniseed alone, or the whole of the articles for making brandy and cordials, will (if required) receive genuine instructions gratis, how to use them to the greatest possible advantage.
Also, an exceeding good COPPER STILL, almost a quarter of an inch thick, containing better than 300 gallons, with a worm made of the very best pewter, having ten turns and weighing upwards of 500lbs. with a large quantity of wrought iron suitable to set up the still in the compleatest manner—the whole of which will be sold together on very low terms, and instructions given for fixing the works in the most complete order, so that it can be worked with more ease than many stills are now of 100 gallons.
N.B. Cordials can be made to more advantage in warm weather than cold weather.
Also, a FARM, of one hundred acres or upwards on the waters of Tate's creek—It is but one mile and a half from Winters's mills, and four miles from the Kentucky river; four acres of which is excellent timothy meadow, a very good hewn log house, nearly two stories high, with an excellent spring not ten yards from the house—also a good stable, sufficiently large for four horses. On the said plantation there is a good public mill seat and two branches sufficiently large to erect a mill large enough to carry on the brewing or distilling business. The place will be sold cheap as the possessor is in want of money.
J. GEARY.
Samples of several sorts of the cordials &c. may now be seen at the house of Mr. McCall's.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
I NEVER WILL BE MARRIED.
WHEN I had scarcely told sixteen, My flattering tell-tale glass, Told me there seldom could be seen, A blyther, bonnier lass; Full twenty lovers round me bow'd, But high my head I carried, And with a scornful air I vow'd, I never would be married.
Young Harry warmly urged his suit, And talk'd of wealth in store, While Jenny thought to strike me mute, And told his conquests o'er, Each youth a different art essay'd, But still their arts I parried; Believe me, firs, I laughing said, I never will be married.
Then five revolving summers past, While I the tyrant played, Ah! then I fear'd 'twould be at last, My fate to die a maid. Of all the lovers in my train, There was but one that tarried; I thought 'twas time to change my strain, And we this morn were married.
ANECDOTES.
In such of the Roman Catholic countries where superstition still has a hold, there is an order of priests called Friars, who cannot by law exercise certain functions belonging to the higher orders of the priesthood—a young lady some years ago called at a monastery at a place called Calmette, in the island of Madeira, to confess, and finding a friar (or brother) of that house alone in one of the chapels, she kneeled down by him and told him all her sins—the friar said nothing—she asked him for absolution—"I am no priest (said the Friar) I cannot give you absolution"—"No priest! said the lady, very much surprised, and in a great passion—"No, madam," answered the Friar, drily—"Well, said she, I'll go and complain to your superiors, for your daring to take my confession!"—"and I'll go (returned the Friar) and tell all your blabbing to your husband!—Mum was the word."
A sailor passing by a cooper's shop, and seeing a number of tubs piled above each other at the door, began to kick and tumble them about the street. The master coming out, and desiring to know the reason of this strange proceeding—Dann it, replied Jack, why should not every tub stand upon its own bottom.
The old Scotch Woman's Prayer.
In almost all religious wars, the contending powers have occasionally offered up prayers to heaven for their own success, and the extirpation of their enemies; and each party have generally added, according to the justness of our cause, O Lord! help us, &c. Considering that the cause of both parties cannot be precisely just, it would perhaps be quite as judicious, and somewhat more modest, to adopt the language, or at least the spirit of an old Scotch woman, who was a futter in the Duke of Marlborough's army. It happened that this faithful follower of the camp was one evening talking to a venerable sister of the same profession, but not of the same country, on the probable consequences of an engagement expected to be fought between the two armies the next morning—"Well, says the English futter—well, it will certainly be a most bloody battle, and all I have to say is, may God stand by the right."—"Dee! pick out your eyne for your wacked with (replied the Scotch woman) God stand by Hamilton's regiment, reight or wrang!"
FRAGMENT.
From the Poukeepsie Journal.
—It was a cold morning—the dry boughs bent before the northern blast. I wrapped my cloak about me, shrugged up my shoulders, and walked to get warmth. A poor old woman, thinly clad in rags, decried with age, and bowed down with a load of woe, entered the room, and with a supplicating air, requested a few pence to alleviate hunger.
You will lay it out for rum, said a deacon of a church, and I shall have to fine you for getting drunk, said the justice. The law makes provision for all vagabonds, says an attorney. I can hardly take a walk without meeting some of these people, says a rich miser; I with our civil officers were punished for not having them all in jail. I with they would hang them all, said the merciful landlady, then they would be out of the way.
A tattered Irish sailor instantly rose from his seat, and requested the poor old woman to come and warm herself, and presented her with a shilling. I rummaged all my pockets, and could find but six pence—it is my fortune to be poor—I gave that, but was ashamed it was no more.
I saw the old woman sit down to a good breakfast; she eat her fill and was happy.
I have seen her since. She blessed me a thousand times, said she had found employment at the house of a quaker, and hoped she should no more be obliged to beg.
Not long since I lodged one night at the deacon's. As usual, before going to bed, he went to prayers. He prayed for the President of the United States, for men in office, for the ministers of the gospel, for his family and friends. I am called a wicked man. I seldom pray, but now I could not help it. I prayed also; but it was for the poor old woman. I believe I even said something about the quaker who took her in, but what it was I have now forgot.
To the Public.
FROM and after the first day of January, 1798, the KENTUCKY GAZETTE will be published once a week only, on that sized paper denominated Royal , which is about one third larger than what we at present use. The price will be Three Dollars per annum; but if we should fail procuring such paper, through the inclemency of the weather, we shall publish on the present sized paper until Royal can be procured, with a proportionate deduction of the price to subscribers. JOHN BRADFORD.
N. B. It will, no doubt, be expected that substantial reasons should be given for this intended change, especially as the principal reasons formerly given for publishing twice a week still exist; the following, to every impartial mind, the Editor has no doubt will be satisfactory:—
Immediately after the commencement of the present year, printing paper rose one third of its former price; an event of so much importance to, and unforeseen by the Editor, could not be taken into the calculations necessary to be made at the time of altering the plan of this Gazette. Had paper have continued at the price it then was, the profits would have been extremely moderate; but at its advanced price, the whole amount received for his subscriptions will not defray the necessary charges incident to his office. Nothing could have induced the Editor to attempt a publication twice a week on the terms he did, but the having more hands than could be employed in publishing a weekly paper, and who he was obliged to support, without a prospect of better employment: And nothing could have tempted him to continue it, after all his profits were swallowed up in the advance on paper, but an idea that an attempt to raise the price of his paper, would contribute to strengthen an impression then made on the public mind unfavorable to him, and against which, he was conscious time would be the best antidote. These are the most ostensible reasons for the alteration about to be made; and the Editor trusts, that in his connexion with the public, he shall ever be able to give satisfactory reasons for his conduct, when necessary, and a fair opportunity is permitted him.
BLAZE.
WHO was imported from England in the year 1793, at five years old, by Col Hugh Nelson, of York town, in Virginia, will stand the ensuing season which will commence the 10th day of March, and end on the 10th day of August, at Col. Robert Saunders's tavern, Scott county, 3 miles from Georgetown, and 8 from Lexington; and may cover mares at five pounds each, the season. A promissory attested note, will be required with the mare, for five pounds, payable the 25th day of December ensuing—which may be discharged by the payment of twelve dollars, if paid within the season. Seven dollars the single leap, to be paid at the stable door. Young cattle, or good beef cattle, or merchantable hemp, will be received at the market price, if delivered at said Saunders's by the 25th of December, to discharge the 5 pounds.
There will be large and excellent meadows, well enclosed for mares from a distance, at 25 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.
BENJ. WHARTON.
BLAZE was got by Vandal, his dam by Trenchion, his grand dam by Regulus, his great grand dam by Eastlynnake, his great great grand dam by Old Partner, his great great great grand dam by Cropt Egyptian, his great great great great grand dam by Woodcock, his great great great great grand dam by Vital's Turk, his great great great great great grand dam by Old Hautboy, and out of Trumpet's dam, which was out of a daughter of Dodsforth and Layton's barbmare.
