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, so 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 an 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 same sum to the holder of a chance or 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.

1779 Prizes. 3555 Blanks.
5334 Tickets, at 5 Dollars each is 26670 Subject to a discount of Fifteen per Centum.
As every encouragement ought to be given to manufactures in this state, this in particular claims the attention of the public. The many advantages which will arise from manufacturing Ducks, must be so forcibly striking to every man of reflection, that the managers think it unnecessary to enlarge on the subject; and the liberal principle upon which the scheme is founded (not two blanks to a prize) will, exclusive of that encouragement, justify the speculative adventurer upon principles of gain. The managers therefore flatter themselves that they will meet with such encouragement in the sales of the tickets as will in a short time justify their appointing and giving public notice when the drawing of the lottery will commence.
Tickets may be had by applying in Lexington to messrs. John Bradford and Alexander McGregor, in Frankfort to Mr. George Madison, in Versailles to Doctor Preston, or to J. GRANT, W. HENRY, } Managers. J. HAWKINS.
** Any person purchasing 20 tickets, shall have a credit until the Lottery is drawn.

MR. BRADFORD:
WHEREAS there are divers reports propagated by my enemies, concerning the burning of my mills—it appears from their behaviour and language, that they would willingly make the public believe, that some innocent person was the cause, and have gone so far as to say I burnt them myself; which reports are intended to cloak their own villainy—some of them have so far declared their malice against me, as to with I had been burnt with them—this can be proven. I take this method through the channel of your paper, to inform the public of the circumstances of their being burnt—They were burnt on the 27th of March in the night, just before the moon had risen. I am able to prove there was not the least spark of fire any where about them that evening. There were three tracks of persons discovered by a young man who lived at the mill—dam—they came a private way at the mill—dam—they had about twenty or thirty yards to wade up the side of the dam, where the water was waist deep—the tracks came and went the same way. No person ever attempted to pass that way from the first building of the dam, unless the water was so low that the mill could not grind—which was very seldom. There was the print of the breech of a gun to be seen very plain in the mud, where it is supposed they pulled off their shoes to wade. The young man sent me word concerning the discovery he had made—upon which I took some persons with me, and we found every thing as above related. One of the tracks appears to be a boy's of about fifteen years old, and his feet bare—the other two were men, and had shoes on—they came and went the same course the tracks went, when my hemp was formerly burnt.
My mills were judged to be worth three thousand pounds—nay, I was offered that money for them and one acre of land they stood on. I lost about two hundred pounds worth of grain, flower and hemp in them, &c. &c. &c.

WHEREAS a Treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation, between the United States of America and his Britannic Majesty was concluded and signed at London, on the nineteenth day of November, one thousand seven hundred and ninety four by the plenipotentiaries of the United States and of his Britannic Majesty, duly and respectively authorized for that purpose.
And whereas the Senate of the United States, two-thirds of the Senators present concurring, did by their resolution on the twenty-fourth day of June, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-five, consent to and advise the President of the United States to ratify the said Treaty, on condition that the same should be added thereto an article whereby it should be agreed to suspend the operation of so much of the twelfth article as respects the trade which his said 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.
And Whereas such an article has been added to the said Treaty, which Treaty and additional article are in the words following viz,
[Here follows the Treaty and additional Article.]
AND WHEREAS the said Treaty with the said Additional Article (which together constitute one Treaty) has by Me on the one part, and by his Britannic Majesty on the other, been duly approved and ratified; and the ratifications were duly exchanged at London on the twenty-eighth day of October one thousand seven hundred and ninety-five; Now therefore to the end that the said Treaty may

be executed and observed with punctuality and the most sincere regard to good faith, on the part of the United States, I hereby make known the premises; and enjoin and require all persons bearing office Civil or Military, within the United States, and all others, citizens or inhabitants thereof or being within the same, to execute and observe the said Treaty accordingly.

§ 1. BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled. That the term for receiving on loan that part of the domestic debt of the United States, which has not been subscribed, in Pursuance of the provisions heretofore made by law for that purpose, be, and the same is hereby further extended until the thirty first day of December next, on the same terms and conditions, as are contained in the act entitled "An Act making provision for the debt of the United States;" Provided, that the book for receiving the said subscriptions shall be opened only at the treasury of the United States.

NEW-YORK, March 4. Extract of a letter dated St. Croix, February 3, 1796, to a gentleman in this city.
"For your information and government, we mention that orders have lately been issued by the English, to their ships of war and privateers to take all neutral vessels bound to or returning from Dutch ports, and carry them to their own for adjudication: and under the strength of which several Danish ships have lately been captured."
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 23. Extract of a letter to a gentleman in this city, dated February 14.
"The French it appears are forbid to buy ships for war, and the English are allowed to buy horses for war. One nation has had every thing denied to them but have been regaled with a tune on the flute;—the other every thing granted without music. One requires a cargo of friendly words for
friendly actions; the other a cargo of friendly actions for perpetual unfriendly kicks and thumps. Which is most valuable?"

ALEXANDRIA, March 3.
The legislature of Georgia, now in session, have passed a law repealing that of the preceding one, making sale of a certain part of the western territory of that state, together with an order that the obnoxious act in question should be publicly burnt. What effects the repealing law will produce must be left to time to discover; but the case is certainly new of a legislature declaring itself not bound by its engagements, and at the same time enacting laws to enforce the performance of individual contracts.
By an arrival at Charleston from Guadalupe, it is stated that the British fleet had not arrived on the 22d of January, but was daily expected—Papers received at Baltimore from Jamaica of the 28th of January, make no mention of the fleet.
Extract of a letter from an American captain at Cape Nicholas Mole, to a respectable gentleman in Baltimore, dated February 9, 1796.
"I am sorry to see the number of Americans that are pressed here; mates and hands, all who have no protections go. It makes no difference with them. There are now in this port about 150 Americans on board the 44 gun ship called the Severn. The Scorpion sloop of war arrived here last night, with three prizes, conveyed Capt Hall to Jamaica for trial.
TRENTON, March 8.
Captain Stetson, arrived at Philadelphia on Wednesday last from Lisbon, which place he left the 24th December, informs, that Col. Humpreys had announced to him, in company with a number of American captains, that the French had recaptured the Rhine, and obtained a complete victory over the Austrian army.
Late papers announced that the French had surprised the British at the island of St. Vincents, &c. This account is confirmed by the arrival of the Schooner Washington, Capt Waring, at New-York, 22 days from Nivis, who informs, that the same report prevailed at Nivis when he left it.
Lexington, April 9. On Monday last, the Rev. H. TOULMIN, as President of the Transylvania Seminary, addressed to the board of Trustees, a letter of resignation, of which the following is a copy:
"Twelve months having elapsed since I was last appointed to the presidency of the Transylvania Seminary; I think it proper to remind the board, that the term for which I was then elected expires in the beginning of October next,—or rather the 23d of September, as a quarter will terminate on that day, and it will be scarcely worth while to begin a new one. I am the more ready to apprise the board of the time, it devolves upon them to choose a president, because as I feel no inclination to have it understood that I renew the offer of my services; I wish to afford the trustees a sufficient time to enquire after the most proper person to fill the post with which I am honoured.
At the same time, I think it incumbent on me to state the reasons of my resignation. I will do it with freedom.
In the first place, then, I regard the salary connected with the office as an inadequate recompence for the services required. Secondly, a late act of the legislature has rendered the presidency of the Transylvania Seminary, upon the present plan of filling it from year to year, an office too precarious, for a man to direct his views towards it as a permanent object. To require that every vacancy in the board shall be
supplied by the unanimous vote of thirteen trustees,—to require that no president nor professor shall be elected or paid but by the same unanimous vote of thirteen trustees;—when whole days have often been spent in collecting together seven members of discordant sentiments;—is to forbid the approach of every man of spirit and independence.
But, thirdly, certain circumstances attending my first nomination to the office, have from that time I perceive been uniformly made to operate against the institution. I never solicited the appointment. I never took,—nor do I believe that any of my friends ever took one improper step to have the appointment made.
I incurred considerable expense in moving to this country with the view of filling an office which I thought might eventually become an object. I did flatter myself that by attention to the duties of my station,—by respectability of character,—by quiet and inoffensive manners, I should silence the tongue of detraction and enervate the struggles of opposition.
I fear that I have been disappointed.
I have received indeed handsome and official testimonials of my own diligence and of the proficiency of the pupils:—but still I am told that there are those who are dissatisfied with my appointment; that there are those, who, failing of more substantial grounds of objection, have condescended to awaken and to employ national and religious prejudices.
A new era in the history of the seminary is now commencing. It is now to be tried whether after all the past difficulties in assembling a board, whether after all those striking instances which have been exhibited of that discordance of sentiment so incident to the frail state of humanity;—it is now to be tried whether thirteen breasts can be animated with an hitherto unexampled ardour in prosecuting the business of the institution,—whether 13 can assemble twice a year and be all of one heart and one soul. Far be it from me to be any obstruction to a change so desirable. I withdraw. I will be no obstruction to unanimity. It shall not be on my account that a single vote is given dissident from the will of the majority.
The majority,—the whole of the board, I trust, will in their proceedings consequent upon my resignation be actuated by the single consideration of WHAT IS RIGHT—and unmoved by that clamour of discontent, which is too often confounded with the voice of the people,—will in rigid regard to their oath, nominate a successor to me without favor, affection or partiality. I have the honor to be

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Armagh Ireland to his friend in Baltimore, dated November 3, 1795.
"FOR some time past that part of the county of Armagh, called Loughgale Black Water Fort, towards Cockhill, Talbridge &c. had been in a state of insurrection, by a constant engagement between the people and the military. The former, assembling in great bodies from the neighbouring counties threaten to destroy all before them; and if they gain the day, to divide the lands among them. Mr. Lawton, of Fairlawn, with the regiment of North Mayo militia, marched on Friday last, with two pieces of cannon, and attacked a body of people, who had taken post at Black Water Fort, at a place called Mackery. The firing was brisk on both sides for the space of two hours, when at last the Republicans were obliged to give way, and re-
treated across the Black Water, into the country Tyrone, where it have taken post in a strong situation, near Cannaal, where they are determined to make a stand. The havoc was prodigious on both sides. The militia had three officers, and 133 men killed, and 207 men and five officers wounded. There was upwards of 500 of the other party killed wounded & drowned, in crossing the river. We hear that a large body of men from Belfast, Ballemena, &c. is on the route to join the republicans, headed, by old and experienced volunteer officers, with a large quantity of field pieces, ammunition &c. All is confusion here—How happy must you be in America, where you draw the breath of liberty and happiness!—I see nothing but the appearance of desolation to this once happy land When or how it will end, God only knows.—10,000 militia are now stationed at Verner's bridge, thide the water; and General Conyngham, has been appointed commander in chief."

A two story BRICK HOUSE on Main-Street, an excellent situation for business.—That valuable and well known tract of parcel of LAND, situated at the mouth of Tate's creek, 15 miles from Lex- ington, on the main road leading to Madison courthouse, containing 1000 acres; 200 of which is excel- lent bottom, the remainder hilly, but well timbered; 80 acres cleared, and five acres in timothy meadow, and twenty more can be made and watered with very little expence— On the upper part of this tract is erected a MERCHANT and GRIST MILL—the situation is perfectly secure either from back water from the river, or floods in the creek—The house is fifty feet by forty with four floors—The mer- chant mill has a sixteen feet pitch back water wheel, double geared, French Burr stones; with bounding, hoisting, screening, fanning and packing work, by water—The Grist Mill has a 12 feet waterwheel, over-shot and double geared: the whole new and in compleat order— The water empties from those mills into a pond, whereon stands a saw mill in good repair, and a new hemp mill.—There is also on the premises, a new framed Dwel- ling House, kitchen and store house with a number of useful cabins, and a large and never failing spring convenient; a ROPE-WALK covered 250 feet; and may be exten- ded over a level piece of ground 150 fathoms with every apparatus suitable for manufacturing cord- age; a young bearing peach or- chard; also a number of bearing apple trees.

A WAGON, with four good horses a few head of cattle, and a large flock of hogs. As the above property is situated in a thick settled fertile part of the country, where the greatest abun- dance of produce may be collect- ed, and the land abounds with good timber for boat building, and a very convenient spot for that purpose on the bank of the river Kentucky—it is evident that boats for the Mississippi trade, can be built and loaded at the mouth of Tate's creek with more convenience less expence and greater dispatch than at any other landing in the state.— The mills are now well supplied with seasoned flower barrels; and there is six boats on the stocks, that may be finished in a short time.— The purchaser can have choice of two or three if required.—The payments will be made early, and the greater part received annual- ly in produce.

NOTICE. ALL persons having demands against John May deceased, either for money due to them, or for contracts payable in lands, are requested to transmit to the sub- scriber a copy of their demands or contracts. All who are indebted to said John May, ei- ther for money due to him, or contracts for land purchased from him, or for locating lands in the state of Kentucky, are request- ed to make payment, and to perform their specific contracts immediately. The said deceased has by his last will and testament, subjected his lands to the payment of his debts, and the subscriber will make it the first object of his administration to provide for the same, with as much duplication as the nature and circumstances of the estate will admit of. And whereas the said John May died with a premature death by the hands of the Indians on his passage down the river Ohio, many papers and much information per- ished with him, 'tis probable the subscriber may need the information of others in some matters relative to the negotiation of the deceased, in the western country, and he will thankfully receive any communications which gentlemen acquainted with the con- cerns of the deceased, may think proper to make. I have appointed Mr. Thomas Carneal, my agent in Kentucky to receive and for- ward all communications in that state, al- luded to above. As the want of a legal representative since the death of Mr. May, has obstructed all operations relative to his transactions and no doubt to the injury of many, I now intreat that all persons con- cerned may bring forward their business im- mediately. DAVID ROSS, Administrator. Richmond, January 22, 1796. P.S. Letters directed to me in Lexing- ton upon the aforesaid business (postage paid) shall be duly attended to by THO: CARNEAL.

March 28, 1796. MR. BRADFORD: MY Mills were burnt last night, and much consequently have been done by some of my enemies, as there was no fire at the place nor any where near; and as I have received private injuries of that kind, &c. before, and their malice is still raging, I think it will be useless for me to attempt to rebuild them. I therefore purpose to sell 400 acres of LAND to include said mills, ware, and other houses, boat-yard and fer- ry, meadow, peach and apple orchards, &c. The land is well timbered with oak, and poplar, a great part first rate and lies well for cultivation—the landing is the most con- venient, perhaps, of any on the Kentucky, both for boat-building and ware-houses— there is two good ware-houses at present, with a house for weighing; also scales, &c. The under part of the mill-house and dam remains unhurt. The mills may be re- built with half the expence or less than they formerly cost—it is about one mile from the mills to the river, and in high water boats may come up to the mills; they stand on Boon's creek near the mouth, which is equal to any stream in this part of the country, and about twelve miles from Lexing- ton. The way to the river is equal to any on the Kentucky.—The title to the land is indisputable. Any person wanting to pur- chase, may apply to the subscriber on the premises, for terms, &c. 3w ELI CLEVELAND.
[BY THIS DAY'S MAIL] PARIS Dec. 6 Yesterday the Council of Five Hundred were informed of im- portant advantages obtained by the army of Italy—The following is an extract of the narrative ad- dressed to the executive council by the representative of the people, Peyre, commissary of the govern- ment near that army. "The Austrian army is com- pletely routed. On the 2d of Fri- maire (November 21) the attack was made in the whole extent of the line. It lasted from 5 in the mor- ning till evening. The Austrians resisted vigorously; every where French valor triumphed over the obstacles which nature and art laid in their way. The Austri- an army is reduced to one half of its former number. They have lost their cannon a great number of colours they had 3000 men killed, and the number of prisoners is so great that we cannot yet find time to count them. One word will enable you to judge of the number. At Albenga only, 4000 rations of bread were distributed to the pri- soners that passed there. There will be for some time to come no Austrian army in Italy. We learn this moment, that the French army has entered Finale where they found immense magazines."
PHILADELPHIA, March 19 THURSDAY last the senate of the United States took up the report of their committee on the subject of the charges of perjury brought forward by the legislature of Ken- tucky, against Humphrey Marshall a member in the senate from that State.

R. came along side of) and ordered the boat to keep off, whereupon capt. R. fired on the Schooner but in return met with a warm salute of wood, stones, handspikes and crowbars, which obliged them to sheer off.— In a short time he returned with his boat and 20 men, armed with guns, swords and cutlasses, and was again drove off, after killing one man, and wounding another on board the Eliza, and cutting away her main shrouds with shot, in return for which capt. R. had 6 men killed and several wounded.
