A Scheme of Chances of Insurance
On the Lottery authorised by Law for raising 2250 dollars, for the Lexington Lodge, No. 25: to raise the same sum for the purpose of repairing the streets, building stone bridges, paving, &c. the town of Lexington.
THE trustees of the town of Lexington, as the representatives of the inhabitants, submit the following scheme to their constituents, and to the citizens of the state at large. The inhabitants of the town, whether merchants, tradesmen or mechanics, and the farmers, planters and labourers of the country mutually depend upon, and assist each other. The inhabitants of the town have something to dispose of to the cultivator of the land, which he cannot manufacture for himself at the same price; on the other hand, as his occupation prevents him from sharing by his own labor in the field, the produce of the country, he is compelled to receive in return, for what he has furnished to the husbandman, that produce, either in the article itself, or the price of it. These observations are verified by the great rise in the value of landed property adjacent to the town of Lexington, is superior to the rise of property of the same description in other parts of the state, which can only be accounted for by the rapid improvement and increase of population in the town.
To the citizens of the town of Lexington, the trustees suggest that with the sums authorized by law to be collected and appropriated by them, the proceeds of seven years taxes will be insufficient to build stone bridges, to make sewers for carrying off the water, to sink wells and erect pumps (the necessity of which has been evidenced by the late calamity by fire) and to make such other repairs, as are necessary for the health, safety and convenience of their fellow-citizens. What purpose the temporary repairs heretofore made, have answered, which have even exceeded the amount of their funds, every citizen can determine.
To the citizens of the state at large, they suggest that all increase of population is an increase of wealth; and that the increase of inhabitants who are employed in trade, merchandise or manufactures, and who do not cultivate the earth, must increase the demand for the necessaries of life, and the competition of purchasers for a foreign market; and that the proposed improvement of the town is the most likely way to procure such increase of population.
The trade and communication between the town and the country, resembles the circulation of the blood; it is first impelled to the heart, and from thence driven to warm and invigorate the most extreme parts.
The scheme they propose is, that they will issue the same number of chances of insurance, as there are tickets in the Lexington Lodge lottery, with the same numbers, and at the same price, and they will pay to the holder of a chance of the same number, as a ticket which shall draw a prize in that lottery, the same sum which the fortunate holder of the ticket shall be entitled to. The fortunate holders of chances of insurance, to be subject as the fortunate holders of tickets in that lottery, to a deduction of fifteen per centum.

And whereas the Senate of the United States did, by their resolution on the twenty-fourth day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety five, (all the Senators of the United States being then present and two thirds thereof concurring) "consent and advise the President of the United States to ratify the Treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation, between his Britannic majesty and the United States of America, concluded at London the nineteenth day of November, one thousand seven hundred and ninety four, on condition that there be added in the said Treaty an article whereby it shall be agreed to suspend the operation of so much of the twelfth article as respects the trade with his majesty thereby consents may be carried on between the United States and his islands in the West Indies, in the manner, and on the terms and conditions therein specified."

LONDON, Nov. 23. LIBERTY OF THE PRESS.
It is announced, but we do not vouch for its authenticity, that a bill is about to be introduced into Parliament enacting—
"That all pamphlets and publications of a political nature, shall be marked with the signature of the respective writers, before they are committed to press, under the severest pains and penalties."
Nov. 24.
PROTEST.
Against the passing of the bill for the safety of his majesty's person and government.
Dissentient,
1. Because we conceive this bill to be founded on a false pretence. It recites a daring outrage on his majesty's person (which we feel with the utmost horror,) and purports to provide further remedies against such practices; whilst in reality it affords no additional security whatever to his majesty's person, and leaves us to regret a deep and irreparable injury to the laws and constitution of our country, by making the compassing, imagining, inventing and devising the levying war a substantive treason: thereby departing in a most dangerous and unjustifiable manner from the statute of the 25th of Edward the third; the salutary provisions of which we cannot be tempted to abandon, by the example of temporary statutes, whose doubtful policy stands in opposition to a law, in which the wisdom of our ancestors has been so repeatedly recognized by the legislature, and so strongly confirmed by the permanent experience of its benefits.
2. Because the free discussion of the administration of government in all its branches, by writing, speaking, and meeting for the purpose of representing grievances to any of the three branches of the legislature, has afforded the best protection to the liberties of the people, and is the undoubted inherent right of Englishmen. Yet this bill erects into a high misdemeanor, the exercise of this most valuable privilege, and inflicts in certain cases the pains and penalties of transportation for the offences which it creates; a punishment in the case of misdemeanor thus generally constituted, is unprecedented in the history of our laws, as it is unnecessary and unconstitutional.
3. Because the extension of the treason laws, and the creating new misdemeanors is an amazing encroachment on the security of the subjects, and affords no additional protection to his majesty's person and government; for the state of every king, ruler, and governor, of any realm, dominion, or commonalty, standeth and consisteth more assuredly by the love and favor of the subjects, towards their sovereign ruler, & governor, than in the dread and fear of those laws with rigorous pains and extreme punishments, which have at all times disgraced our code. History, however, shews us, that by succeeding legislatures, our statute book has with every mark of generous indignation, been uniformly cleared to these temporary and unconstitutional excrescences; a circumstance which we now regard as a solemn warning against creating new and unheard of misdemeanors, or altering the treason of our country.

Dec. 4.
Tuesday an address was read by commissioner Proby at his office in Chatham Dock yard, to all classes of workmen of that Dock yard, intended to be sent to his majesty, congratulating him on his late escape from assassination, and to be signed by all belonging to the yard: but from some cause, the greatest part of the above workmen, in number about 1100 or 1200, assembled on Wednesday morning, in the rope house, and refused signing it. The commissioner and officers of the yard acquainted them there was no occasion for them to act contrary to their inclination, but wished them to go about their respective duties, which they did not; and in the afternoon nearly the whole absented themselves, and went to Rochester, to sign the petition against the bills now depending in Parliament.
BONN, November 18.
From Adjutant-General Coulangé, to the General of the brigade commanding at Liege and its environs.
"It is malevolence which spreads alarm on account of our armies. This malevolence will be defeated by our success, when we learn that Gen. Marceau, commandant of the right wing of our army, has completely beaten Clairfayt, that from four to five hundred of his men are killed, many made prisoners, (amongst which are his first Aid-du-Camp, and seven or eight officers of his état-major) when we learn that the left wing of our army, under the orders of Gen. Hatry, has equally beat the enemy, and forced it to pass the Sieg; that this left wing is ready to pass this river to chase the enemy, and clear entirely the right branch of the Rhine, especially the part occupied by the army of the Sambre and Meuse.
"This is an excellent manner, by which to silence the reports of our miscarriages. I desire you to make known this news."
"COULANGE."
"Nov. 20. At this moment (9 o'clock in the evening) I hasten to announce to you that the siege of Mannheim is raised, after a very serious action, in which the Austrians have been completely beaten."
BALTIMORE, Feb. 5.
Extract of a letter from Norfolk dated Janua y 30.
"There is arrived in Hampton roads, a vessel in 14 days from Martinique, with accounts of a disturbance in London, which had caused troops that were to sail for the West-Indies, to be disembarked—this news had reached Martinique two days before the sailing of the above vessel."
NEW YORK, Feb. 12.
A gentleman in the Ariel from Charleston, informs, that the Charleston paper of Monday Feb. 1, would contain important accounts from the Rhine—JOUR. DAN and KICHECRU, in conjunction, were pursuing the Austrians in turn with immense slaughter.
Lexington, March 26.
Extract of a letter received from one of the Senators from this state in the congress of the United States, dated
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 27, 1796.
"My last letter informed you, that from intelligence received, there was reason to believe that the negotiation between the United States and Spain, had been brought to a favorable conclusion. It is with extreme pleasure I avail myself of this opportunity, to announce to you the arrival of that TREATY, which was signed on the 22nd of October last, and was this day laid before the senate for their approbation. I have only time at present to give a short sketch of those particulars which are peculiarly interesting to the WESTERN COUNTRY.—It is stipulated, that the Western boundary of the United States, shall be the middle of the channel of the Mississippi; the Southern boundary to begin at the completion of 21 degrees of North latitude on that river, and run as specified in the treaty made with Great Britain in 1783. That the navigation of the river Mississippi, from its source to the Ocean, shall be FREE to the citizens of the United States, and to the subjects of Spain only, the king of Spain referring to himself the right of admitting other nations by convention, to participate in this privilege.—That New Orleans shall be a FREE PORT to the citizens of the United States for three years, without paying any duties whatever, except a reasonable warehouse hire: at the end of that term either to be continued a FREE PORT, or if found injurious to the interests of Spain, then another place on the banks of that river, and EQUIVALENT, to be substituted for that purpose.—That the military posts of either now within the territory of the other, shall be evacuated within six months from the ratification of the treaty.
"The other articles (though not commercial) relate to the general interests of the two nations; and so far as I have been able to consider them, appear to be formed upon principles of liberality and reciprocity. There can be no doubt
but that the senate will advise and consent to the ratification of this treaty, which presents such important advantages to the Western country, and which appears to be so well calculated to the prosperity, peace and happiness of the American nation."
[KENT. HER.]
Such parts of the treaty lately negotiated between the United States and Spain, as respects the Western Country, (to wit) the FREE NAVIGATION of the MISSISSIPPI, NEW-ORLEANS A FREE PORT, &c. were announced to the inhabitants of this town on Saturday last. The general joy of all ranks and descriptions of citizens, was never so conspicuous as on the above occasion; of which, the firing of artillery, tolling of bells, bonfires &c. &c. were evident testimonies!
ALL persons who own Waggons & Teams are requested to attend at KIRTNER's tavern in Lexington, on Saturday the 2d of April, in order to take into consideration, and establish uniform prices.

BRITISH PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Friday, December 4.
MR. REEVES'S PAMPHLET. Mr. Sheridan rose. He said, though the consideration of the report on the libelous pamphlet, "was not the next order, yet as a question of privilege it should be first considered. He did not mean to enter into the subject now but merely to move that the report be taken into further consideration on Tuesday, and that Mr. Reeves be ordered to attend the house on that day. He only wished the attendance of Mr. Reeves, as a matter of convenience. Gentlemen who may not think it proper to examine him, may oppose his being called in on that day.
Mr. Pitt said that the consideration of the report on Tuesday would interfere with the report of the resolutions of the committee of ways and means. However, he believed all gentlemen would agree that it was necessary to take into consideration the author of that pamphlet. In his opinion, the best way would be to prosecute him in a court of law, and take the opinion of a jury. He did not wish that the house should take the punishment into their own hands for a breach of privilege. The fact was not proved that Mr. Reeves wrote the pamphlet; and if the house should be called upon to concur in the sentiments of the select committee, he could not by his vote determine directly that he was the author. However so strong a presumption did the report afford, that he would not hesitate to direct the attorney general to prosecute Mr. Reeves, as the author and publisher of the pamphlet, which would afterwards be determined on more strict investigation by a jury.
Mr. Fox thought if the house was not satisfied that there was a sufficiency of proof, the committee ought to enter into further investigation; they did not do what probably they were entitled to do, that is, send for Mr. Reeves himself. Those who may cause to proceed on the breach of privilege, may wish for a stronger proof than those who wished to prosecute at law.
Mr. Sheridan said, that as there seemed to be a doubt as to the author, he would move for the revival of the committee. The author might be punished in either of two ways; which was the most proper, would be for the decision of the house. He was of opinion that the house should vindicate itself, according to the ordinary precedents for a breach of privilege.
Mr. Pitt thought there was evidence enough to send Mr. Reeves before a jury; and if the evidence was ever so explicit and undoubted, he would be still for a trial at law; however as other gentlemen may be for a different proceeding, he saw no objection to reviving the committee.
The speaker said it was agreeable to the practice of the house that when a committee was appointed for any purpose, it should be furnished with all possible means of accomplishing that purpose. As the committee had declared that they had further evidence to examine, it was necessary, and as the house did not seem to think the evidence already obtained sufficient, it was therefore proper they should be revived.
Mr. Sheridan moved, that the report be taken into further consideration on Friday the 11th inst, and that the committee be revived, both which motions were agreed to.
* Mr. Reeves in his Pamphlet, likened the British Constitution to a tree, and the king, lords and commons, branches growing out of that tree, the lopping off of which would by no means endanger the tree.
