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 paper, and bound in boards. The first Number to contain all the laws of a General Nature 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, containing an Abstract of the Duties of a Justice of the Peace, taken from the most Approved Authors, with the different forms of process in that office; as well as the most useful 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 unhandy to carry about, but also more liable to injury and therefore less durable; and as it is probable that the general laws will hereafter remain a considerable length of time with little 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.

At their first session, begun and held at the city of Philadelphia, in the state of Pennsylvania, on Monday the 15th day of May, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven.

LONDON, May 9.
The last accounts from Ireland are of the most alarming nature. It is said the Irish have sent delegates into Scotland, to unite the people there with them. We are also told they have sent delegates to France. In the North they learn the use of fire arms at midnight. The gentry are afraid of living on their estates, and retire into the fortresses of Londonderry, Carrickfergus, &c. A part of the military is said to participate in the sedition.
ings of the United Irishmen. The people of the North are not yet in open rebellion, but we fear Mr. Beresford will soon be gratified in that respect, for every circumstance gives reason to apprehend it, and the obstinacy of the harsh measures of government most of all.
It having been communicated to the duke of Leinster, that his services as colonel of the Kildare militia would be dispensed with, his grace immediately resigned his commission, together with his lucrative office of the Hanaper. It is thus that ministers endeavor to secure union in the moment of danger!
Several of the yeomanry corps in Dublin have mounted guard in that city at night, for these two weeks past. A guard, and 30 yeoman cavalry, parade the streets the whole night. The different guards are regularly inspected by a general or field officer, and every man has eighteen rounds of ball cartridge delivered to him at the setting of the guard.
How different is Mr. Pitt's language from that of our prayer books! there we say, "lighten our darkness we beseech thee good Lord," while the minister introduces his stamps upon news-papers for the express purpose of darkening our lights; but the hour of ignorance is, happily, past in this country, and no infamous artifice of a profligate minister can prevent us from walking in the Sun.
The quantity of gold lately found in the Wicklow mountains, in Ireland, amounted to 800 ounces. The total value of it to the peasantry who collected it, at 31. 15s. per ounce, was 3000l. and this was the result of a weeks labor. The largest piece found, weighed 22 ounces.
A plan is in agitation by government, to prevent in future the pressing for his majesty's navy; sailors are to be registered at every sea-port town in the kingdom, who are to be in readiness whenever called on.
A Turkish ship arrived lately in the river, navigated wholly by Turkish sailors. She is laden with currants. This is the first instance of the kind in the memory of the oldest merchant.
NAPLES, April 9.
One hundred and twenty persons, of the first families in the kingdom have been arrested; of this number are the two brothers of prince Belmont Pignatelli, who signed the treaty of peace with France, and the duke de Viano, whose father was particularly beloved and esteemed by the king. The crime of the last is having in possession the Florence Gazette. All the stories that the most infamous informers can invent, are collected with the greatest eagerness, and there is no asylum which is not open to the scrutinies of the ministerial inquisition.
LEGHORN, April 3.
Corfica is in the greatest consternation, because by order of the Directory of France, all the principal inhabitants, and all those who are supposed to be Paulists, have been forced to quit the country. The elections have been bloody. The deputation to the legislative body has been the object of much contest; but there is no doubt that Salicetti will carry it in spite of his numerous competitors.
ARMAGH, April 19
ADDRESS
From a respectable meeting of the county of Armagh, to such of their Roman Catholic brethren as have been driven from their country by the late persecution.
Friends, brethren, and fellow citizens,
In this unhappy country, the designing emissaries of a venal and profligate administration, have with impunity too long scattered amongst us the seeds of disunion and religious persecution; they saw, that if the people were once united in the bonds of social love and affection, that system of corruption, which they have substituted for the pure spirit of the constitution, would have perished for ever.
Hence, brethren they adopted the diabolical maxim, divide et impera—In their hands, the religion of the most high God, the spirit of which is peace and love, and union, and social order has become the instrument of discord and bigotry; of persecution, bloody and relentless.
We lament, that infatuating, that
misguided and ill judged zeal, which drove from their habitations many of our most useful citizens, and rendered our country odious to the world. From this moment, we wish to bury for ever all religious contentions, and all animosities that may separate us from our fellow-citizens.
In the union of love, in the spirit of universal benevolence, we invite you that are now forlorn and friendless wanderers through the kingdom, to return to your habitations. We promise you protection in the exercise of the unalienable rights of man. Your tyrants, abhorred by the community, and skulking from the avenging eye of an injured people, have lost the power to molest you. At your return you will find us united as one man, and ready to receive, without religious distinctions, our countrymen into an holy and exalted compact.
Our aim is to procure a reform in parliament, and catholic emancipation; and to the attainment of these grand objects, our progress shall be moderate, yet firm; temperate, yet irresistible.
DUBLIN, April 28.
More shocking scenes of human misery, never wounded the sight of man than are seen at this instant in that part of the metropolis which is called the Earl of Meath's Liberty, but which better accords with the idea of a cemetery filled with human degeneracy and decay in all its stages. More than 14,000 souls there languish, the emaciated victims of famine, many of them waiting the hour of dissolution, which is to send them after their friends and relations, and by the same way. To this dreadful state of complete desolation has the operation of the war reduced an industrious race of people, who had been taught to depend upon manufacture for subsistence.
Let this havoc of war and wretchedness be contrasted with the flippant prattle of placemen, pensioners and contractors against peace—and it will be easy to perceive whether the inhabitants of Dublin who petition for the dismissal of his majesty's ministers, or the few who protest against such a proceeding, are in the right.
WINDSOR, (Vermont) June 9.
We learn by undoubted authority, that a certain Major M'Lane from the state of Rhode-Island, a brother of his and Thomas Butterfield, from this state, have lately been apprehended and are now in irons in Quebec, upon something more than a suspicion of treasonable practices against the government of that province. It was found that Major M'Lane had a commission under the French Republic—was under pay—and for about two years past had been faithfully employed among the French inhabitants whispering sedition in their ears—sounding their dispositions—and endeavoring to engage them to rise against their present government. On examination, it appeared that this was a branch of an extensive plan of operation, settled in the French cabinet—that M'Lane had so far succeeded in his enterprize, that upon the arrival of a French fleet in the river St. Lawrence the Magazines were to be blown up, and the French inhabitants to rise in a mass—fly to arms, and exterminate the English. Several characters in this State are implicated as participating in the scheme.
NEW-YORK, June 26
The following reasonable queries appear in the (Philadelphia) Daily Advertiser.
Is it not the wish of every maritime people to become the carriers to others? Yes.
Would not the transportation of the property of such nations, as from time to time might be engaged in war, secure employment to the flag that should protect it? Yes.
Did not Spain, France, Prussia and Holland, in the treaties between them and America, agree, that free ships should make free goods? Yes.
Would not an universal acknowledgement of this principle soon have ranked us amongst the foremost naval powers? Yes.
Does not the treaty we afterwards made with Great-Britain, and that too, at a time when some of those very nations were engaged in a war with her, admit the taking of enemy's property on board of American ships? I blush when saying yes.
In admitting this, did we not act with partiality, and thereby infringe the duties that neutrality imposes? Yes.
Having been thus unjust, is it reasonable in us to expect uninterrupted enjoyment of neutral rights? Truth obliges me reluctantly to say no.
Extract of a letter from Boston June 15.
"We have had the War Song set to music in some congregations, but the head musician has some how or another pitched his first notes so extravagantly high, that our best treble singers have been foiled, and turned out mere screechers. We do not wish the music maller, however to lower us wholly into the base. Let him rather adhere to tenor; & if counter be thought necessary, let it be Counter-Britain, or counter any body that invades this country, or menaces its peace and independence."
American funds were a few weeks ago, in London, considered as the most secure deposit; lands in the United States will be the next safe security—but the value of these for a time will depend on peace or war with France. War with a nation, that under her present circumstances could land two hundred thousand men, accustomed to conquest, would not be very likely to raise the value of lands.
June 29.
A private letter from Ireland, confirms the worst of the alarming accounts from that kingdom. It says, business is at a stand—money, even in the shape of paper, scarce—almost every one enrolled among the united Irishmen: except those in government employ or dependence, and many of these resigning their places for fear of the indignation of the people when the day of retribution, which is soon expected, shall come.
PHILADELPHIA, June 24.
Report says, that the day before yesterday the president called his secretaries together on urgent business. The tongue of rumor has been busy ever since suggesting the nature of the business. Some talk of a plot discovered, of treasonable practices, of intercepted letters. We suspect that our disagreements with the Spaniards, on our south frontier, may have been the subject of the call, and of the confidential communication sent to the house yesterday.
June 26.
Reports were yesterday in circulation of an insurrection in Canada—and also, that our commissioner, Andrew Ellicott, and his attendants, had been taken by the Spaniards under Gayoso.
June 30.
By the James captain Fitch, from Londonderry, which sailed thence the 15th May, and arrived here last evening, we have advices and papers down to the date of her departure—The lateness of the hour has precluded the publication of details, but the general complexion of the advices, as they are furnished by the Northern Star and the information of passengers, give a positive confirmation of the convulsed state of that unfortunate country, and the approach of a general civil war!
The society called united Irishmen it appears, has spread its branches through the whole country, and so effectually overturned the force of religious distinctions, as to place the influence of the clergy of the Romish church, as well as others, in a state of utter disregard; real and personal estate has sunk one-third of its value 2 years ago, and the desire to sell is checked generally only by the want of money, by which persons more hardy, possessed of property, are prevented from purchasing.
The lord lieutenant has summoned the heads of the Romish clergy of the southern provinces to Dublin, in order to learn if the dependence that was expected could be placed on the several congregations; and it appears that Dr. M. the bishop of Cork, has declared, that the people of the poorer classes have been so much corrupted by modern politics and by the United Irishmen, as to place the spiritual authority in utter disregard. This club were designated by a green scarf or handkerchief, the wearing of which is prohibited by the government.
EXCELLENT CIDER VINEGAR, FOR SALE, by JOHN BOB, Lexington

LEXINGTON:
Saturday, July 22.
A living dwarf child, says the Boston Centinel , has lately been exhibited in Boston. He was born in Bridgewater, in Massachusetts, where his parents now live; he is 6 years old, 26 inches high, and weighs only 12 pounds; is well proportioned, very active, and in perfect health.
[From a New-York Paper.] A REMARKABLE FACT.
On the 14th of April last, Mr. Allen Taylor, grocer, of this city, purchased a cask of hog's lard, weighing about 212 lbs, which he continued selling by retail until about the 12th of May, when at the bottom was found, inclosed in the fat, a living HEN, supposed to have continued thus imprisoned ever since last fall; the lard having been brought from one of the southern states and having been in possession of Mr. James Carter about a month before it was sold to Mr. Taylor. An egg with a soft shell was likewise found in the cask. For a day or two after her liberation, the hen continued to void pure lard; she is now alive and in good condition.
EXTRAORDINARY DUEL.
An affair of honor of a very extraordinary nature took place a short time since, in the neighborhood of Waterford Ireland; a young physician of that place having been grossly insulted, (as he conceived,) by two officers, demanded satisfaction, and in order to make short work of it, determined to fight them both at once: this challenge was accepted, and all three of them met the next morning: the physician standing in a line between his adversaries, with a pistol in each hand, pointed at both of them: all the combatants fell on the first fire—the physician was wounded in the breast, one of his opponents was shot through the knee, and the other in his right side; but they are all recovered.
ON THE BRITISH NAVAL MUTINY. (Extracted from London papers.)
It appears that the first concessions offered to the seamen by the Admiralty were not much attended to. The conduct of the seamen at Portsmouth, was particularly alarming from the beginning, and by the last week in April had all the appearance of systematic mutiny, and no commands were obeyed, except those of the seamen, nor an officer suffered to remain on board, who was not silent and passive to the deliberations of the men. To such a height had the mutinous spirit grown, that the channel fleet could scarcely be said to belong to England, as being under the control of no power derived from the existing government of the kingdom: and thus it might be said, as on an occasion of old, Roma suis viribusruit —This, Spain, nor France, nor Holland could have done—And Britain falls by Britain's strength alone.
What may be the issue of this alarming business (says a London paper) we cannot pretend to foresee—a business, which, whilst it fills every honest Englishman with apprehensions the most serious, cannot fail to diffuse joy over all the French nation. Little did we expect to see the day when the conduct of the British sailors could have gladdened the hearts of Frenchmen—when the naval exertions of England should be crippled, not by the natives of France or Spain, but by a body of men, once the pride of their country, and the terror of her enemies—the Tars of Old England! Whilst these are setting the commands of their officers and the laws of the land at defiance, the French may send what force they please to sea, and attack or insult any part of the British or Irish coasts with impunity, as the natural defenders of these coasts are moored in port, laboring to gain a triumph over the executive government, and some pecuniary advantages to themselves, whilst the interest of the country is made to stand still and wait their pleasure!
This is a calamity the more poignant, as it is brought upon us by the best beloved class of our fellow citizens—by the very men to whom we should naturally look in the hour of danger for acts of patriotism as well as feats of heroism; a blow from such
a quarter we know not how to return. It deprives us of almost the power of resistance; and were it not that a great nation ought never to despond, or deem any thing beyond its daring, we think our country seeing her darling children armed against her, might be tempted to say— Et tu Brute! —and fall without resistance beneath their blows!
It further appears, that no sooner had the government adopted the principle of making concessions to the sailors, than they instantly rose in their demands, and having the means in their power of enforcing them, it was impossible to tell at what point they would stop, as they began to declare every thing a grievance except being allowed to become owners and directors of the fleet; and it began to be feared that they would demand a peace, seeing a general maritime confederacy forming, which may annihilate the wooden walls of Old England.
Besides, a great part of the seamen on board the British fleets are impressed men, who are in a state of worse than Algerine slavery; and all are sensible that even on a momentary compromise of this business, & coming again under the orders of the admiralty, they would be scattered through the world; and never suffered to unite again in the ships, nor even perhaps in their native country.—Three causes of dread were apprehended from the mutineers—going over to the French with the whole British navy—battering down the sea-ports of England—or turning pirates at last, that is plundering on the ocean, with commissions originating among themselves and not from on shore.
When the last accounts came away, although the crews of part of the fleet, had been in a degree pacified by concessions, yet it did not appear that matters were by any means in a promising train towards a return of the good understanding that formerly subsisted between the navy and the government. Not an anchor had yet been weighed; and notwithstanding the royal pardon for what was past, many grievances were yet complained of, in particular ships, for which, redress was demanded, and had not been granted.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
On the proposed American Negotiation.
THUS to the verge of warfare brought, Our Congress takes a happy thought, Agrees half way the Gaul to meet, Prepar'd to fight him—or to treat.
But should this tripple mission fail And we be thrown in Britain's scale, Will that regard her destin'd fall? Or humble those that humble all?
No fancied balances of power, No project can delay that hour Which bring the regal sceptre low, And bids mankind new systems know:
Fatigu'd with long oppression's reign 'Tis time the world should break its chain; One gem we ravish'd from her crest, And France, it seems, will seize the rest.
The revolutions of this age That do our jarring race engage, Are but old prospects drawing near, The outlet of a new career.
What Plato saw, in ages fled, What Solon to the Grecians laid, Or what Montesquieu did engage, (The Solon of a modern age)
Is now unfolding to our view, A system godlike, great and new, That from enlighten'd reason springs, And bodes a better course of things.
And will these states, at ocean's ends, On whose resolve so much depends— Will these, whose Washington or Green Gave motion to the vast machine—
Will these, alas! be careless found, To help the mighty wheel go round? These who began th' immortal strife, And Liberty prefer'd to life.—
If not the cause of France we aid, O never may the words be said, That we to royal factions prone, Made not the cause of Man our own.
Should Britain here renew her sway, And we a servile homage pay, Once more the coming age would rise, And her invading force despise.
See some Cornualis yet unborn, Tus triumphs of the South adorn, And him—to war and slaughter bred— Burgoyne, once more in fetters led.
But, muse! forbear so vast a theme— Perhaps it may be all a dream, And we, like Athens, paid her prime, Grow dotards with the lapse of time.—
ANECDOTE.
A person expressing his surprise that the taking of Kehl should have occupied the Austrians seven weeks, and the French only five hours; a master carpenter accounted for this extraordinary fact, by supposing the Austrians were paid by the day, and the French by the job.
Thirty Dollars Reward.
RAN away from Washington, (Mason county, Kentucky,) some time in May last, a Negro Man named LOUIS, (or LUE,) about twenty-four years of age, five feet six or eight inches high, has a halt in one of his legs. The above reward will be given if secured in any jail in this state.
