I purpose laying off a number of additional lots to the town of Lexington, on a high and handsome situation—They will be so arranged and disposed as to have the stream, which waters the town, running thro' a straight canal at the foot of each lot, which by situation shall be adorned with shady trees—and, if cultivated and improved with the final taste and attention are capable of being made the most beautiful part of the town—I will sell these lots on very moderate terms for cash or country produce.
I will also sell or rent the tenement whereon I now live, as likewise sundry lands mentioned in a former advertisement.
I wish to let for a term of years, my distillery in Woodford, together with a tract of adjoining land, if more agreeable to the lessee.

UNITED STATES, Jan. 16, 1792.
The causes of the existing hostilities between the UNITED STATES and certain Tribes of INDIANS North-West of the OHIO, stated and explained from official and authentic documents, and published in obedience to the orders of the President of the United States.
[Concluded from our last]
As an evidence that the conduct of the hostile Indians has been occasioned by other motives than a claim relatively to boundaries; it is to be observed, that their depredations have been principally upon the district of Kentucky, and the counties of Virginia, lying along the south side of the Ohio, a country to which they have no claim.
It appears by respectable evidence, that from the year 1783 until the month of October, 1790, the time the United States commenced offensive operations against the said Indians, that on the Ohio, and the frontiers on the South side thereof, they killed, wounded and took prisoners, about one thousand five hundred men, women and children; besides carrying off upwards of two thousand horses, and other property to the amount of fifty thousand dollars.
The particulars of the barbarities exercised upon many of their prisoners, of different ages and sexes, although supported by indisputable evidence, are of too shocking a nature to be presented to the public. It is sufficient upon this head to observe, that the tomahawk and scalping-knife have been the mildest instruments of death. That in some cases torture, by fire, and other execrable means have been used.
But the outrages which were committed upon the Frontier inhabitants were not the only injuries that were sustained: repeated attacks upon detachments of the troops of the United States were, at different times made. The following from its peculiar enormity deserves recital.---In April 1790, Major Doughty was ordered to the friendly Chickasaws on public business. He performed this duty in a boat, having with him Ensign Sedam, and a party of fifteen men. While ascending the Tennessee river, he was met by a party of forty Indians in four canoes, consisting principally of the aforesaid banditti of Shawanese, and outcast Cherokees. They approached under a white flag, the well known emblem of peace. They came on board the Major's boat received his presents, continued with him nearly one hour, and then departed in the most friendly manner. But they had scarce cleared his oars, before they poured in a fire upon his crew, which was returned as soon as circumstances would permit, and a most unequal combat was sustained for several hours, when they abandoned their design, but not until they had killed
and wounded eleven out fifteen of the boat's crew. This perfidious conduct, in any age, would have demanded exemplary punishment.
All overtures of peace failing, and the depredations still continuing, an attempt at coercion became indispensable. Accordingly the expedition under Brigadier general Harmar, in the month of October, 1790 was directed. The event is known.
After this expedition the governor of the Western territory, in order that nothing might be omitted, to effect a peace without further conflict, did, on his arrival at fort Harmar, in December 1790 send through the Wyandots and Delawares conciliatory messages to the Miamies, but still without effect.
The Cornplanter, a war chief of the Senekas and other Indians of the same tribe, being in Philadelphia in the month of February 1791, were engaged to undertake to impress the hostile Indians with the consequences of their persisting in hostilities, and also of the justice and moderation of the United States.
In pursuance of this design Col. Procter on the fourteenth of March, was sent to the Cornplanter to hasten his departure and to accompany him to the Miami village---and messengers were sent to the Indians declaratory of the pacific sentiments of the United States towards them. But both Col. Procter and the Cornplanter, although zealously desirous of executing their mission, encountered difficulties of a particular nature, which were insurmountable, and prevented the execution of their orders.
Major General St. Clair, in the month of April, sent messages from Fort Harmar to the Delawares, expressive of the pacific designs of the United States, to all the Indian tribes.
A treaty was held at the Painted Post by col. Pickering, in June 1791, with a part of the Six Nations, at which the humane intentions of the General Government towards them particularly, and the Indian tribes generally, were fully explained.
Captain Hendricks, a respectable Indian residing with the Onondaga, appearing zealously disposed to attempt convincing the hostile Indians of their mistaken conduct, was accordingly sent for that purpose but was frustrated by unforeseen obstacles, in his laudable attempts.
The different measures which have been recited must evince, that notwithstanding the highly culpable conduct of the Indians in question, the Government of the United States, uninfluenced by resentment, or any false principles which might arise from a consciousness of superiority, adopted every proper expedient to terminate the Indian hostilities, without having recourse to the last extremity; and, after being compelled to resort to it, has still kept steadily in view the re-establishment of peace as its primary and sole object.
Were it necessary to add proofs of the pacific and humane dispositions of the General Government towards the Indian Tribes, the treaties with the Creeks and with the Cherokees, might be cited as demonstrative of its moderation and liberality.
The present partial Indian war is a remnant of the late general war, continued by a number of separate banditti, who, by the incessant practice of fifteen years, seem to have formed inveterate and incurable habits of enmity against the frontier inhabitants of the United States.
To obtain protection against lawless violence, was a main object for which the present government was instituted. It is indeed, a main object of all governments. A frontier citizen possesses as strong claims to protection as any other citizen. The frontiers are the vulnerable parts of every country; and the obligation of the government of the United States, to afford the requisite protection, cannot be less sacred in reference to the inhabitants of their Western, than to those of their Atlantic Frontier.
It will appear from a candid review of this subject, that the General Government could no longer abstain from attempting to punish the hostile Indians.
The ill success of the attempts for this purpose, is entirely unconnected with the justice or policy of the measure. A perseverance in exertions to make the refractory Indians at last sensible, that they cannot continue their enormous outrages with impunity, appears to be as indispensable, in the existing posture of things, as it will be advisable, whenever they shall manifest symptoms of a more amicable disposition, to convince them, by decisive proofs, that nothing is so much desired by the United States as to be at liberty to treat them with kindness and beneficence,
H. KNOX. Secretary of War. War Department, Jan. 26, 1792.
JURIES OF FRANCE.
[From a London paper.]
It may be pleasant to our readers to see the precise manner in which the French have determined to arrange their juries for the trial of criminal causes, and how it differs from ours.
The municipality of Paris, in obedience to the law, have issued a decree concerning the formation of juries. It recites the law on the subject, which ordains, that they shall commence from the 1st of January, 1792.
1. The procurer of the commons shall make a list of thirty proper persons to compose the jury of accusation, which answers to our grand jury.
2. That every active citizen, who has the qualifications of an elector, shall, before the 15th of December in each year, write his name on a register, to serve on the jury for judgment.
3. That out of this register, the procurator general Syndic of the department shall choose every three months, 200 persons, who shall form the jury of judgment for that time.
4. Eligible citizens neglecting to inscribe their names on the register in the month of December, shall be deprived of their suffrage for two years.
5. No citizen can be put twice on the list of 200 jurymen, in the course of one year, without his consent.
The decree concludes with an animated appeal to the citizens of Paris on the great duty of coming forward to discharge the functions of jurymen, and states that a double register is opened for the inscription of citizens in each of the forty-eight sections of Paris,
Thus in reality they are to have a standing jury for three months, nominated by the procurator Syndic, who again is nominated by the people. When a prisoner comes to be tried, he has the right of objection, as in England, and the offence is tried by twelve jurymen. The reason of this manner of striking a jury was, that in the beginning of a popular system it was thought that the people were not sufficiently enlightened to be taken indiscriminately, as in England; but it is not subject to the serious objection of setting up a small number of individuals to be canvassed on particular occasions, and of course it is not liable to the same imputations as lie against our own special jurymen in crown causes, namely, that the dearest functions of a free man, that of doing justice is turned in a profitable trade.
[From the Pittsburgh Gazette.] On the INDIAN RIGHT of SOIL.
By PHILO BRACKENRIDGE.
ON what is it founded? Having had a foot first on the continent?---Then one Indian might claim the whole---spend his winter in the torrid zone---his summer in one of the other of the frigid, and spring and fall in the temperate.---That would be unreasonable. Will two Indians have this right? There must be more than that. Two tribes? It would be too much to take up the whole continent with two tribes. How many must there be to give the right? Just as many as there are. If there were one less, would they have the right? Yes. Two less? Yes. How many might there be less, and the right exist? I cannot tell---nor no one else. There must be some fixed principle on which all right depends. Under the great law of nature, it is a right to as much as is necessary for our subsistence. By pasturage or hunting? No: by agriculture. Because in this way of life most can subsist at the same time.
But men by the municipal laws of society hold more than an equal quantity. What has this to do with the great out-wheel of natural law, which gives the earth to man in common. The municipal law binds as citizens; the law of nations as societies, but the law of nature as men. Say, as the number of inhabitants upon the earth is to its extent, so the right of each individual to his share. God gives a man no more when he dies than space to lie down upon, and how, more in life than to enjoy reasonably? Let the appeal be made to him. Great Spirit says the Indian, here is a white man that wants some of my land. How much have you? Ten miles square. The tenth of that may serve---to hunt upon? No but to plant corn, raise hogs, and live like a man. But did not you give me all this? I have given none of you more than other. There is the earth and the dividing of a sea or river makes no partition. It is true I do not permit the inhabitants of Jupiter or other planets to come down to your earth; but have placed a law of nature to hinder it. But on the same planet, I know nothing of what is called the right of the natives beyond at most a right of preference to choose their ground, or to hold that which they already cultivate.
Will the United States permit emigrants to settle on the lands west of the Ohio within their boundaries? Not without purchasing. Why? Because they have been at an expense in combating the false claim of the savages and ought to be paid for it.

LEXINGTON Jan 30.
An accidental event occurred at Ballyvally in the county of Donegal, a short time ago, which seems to open a discovery in Psychic equality wonderful and happy. The wife of Arthur O'Donnel had been for six years in a state of outrageous madness, and was given over by the Faculty:—One evening she found means to loose herself from her bonds, and to escape from her confinement to the sea-shore, where in an instant, she endeavoured to put an end to her existence, by plunging from a rock into the Ocean. Very fortunately she was immediately missed by her eldest son, and followed by him: just as she had thrown herself from the rock he arrived, and being an excellent swimmer, plunged in to her assistance. It was however near fifteen minutes before he could see his unhappy parent; but about the expiration of that time he observed the body floating among some rocks which projected from the mainland, with some difficulty he reached it, and with great labor swam it to the shore, apparently dead. The prescriptions of the Humane society were readily applied, and after an interval of two hours, signs of returning animation appeared; the process was continued, and in about twelve hours the Patient was not only restored to life, but, what is more wonderful, to the fullest possession of her natural reason.—She is now perfectly well, and to the great help and happiness of her family, does all the duties of her domestic station.
