TWO LIKELY
NEGRO MEN RUN AWAY FROM THE SUB- SCRIBER,
Living in Mecklenburg county, Virginia: ONE of them named PETER , went off about five years ago; he is very black, tall and slim, and had many scars on his back, occasioned by whipping for running away before I had him—he could work a little at the shoe, basket, and collar-making business; has very crooked shins, and if alive is now about 35 years old. The other went off the 14th of December last, and took with him my horse, saddle, bridle and great coat—he is of a yellow complexion, middle sized, has a limp in his gait and walks with his toes turned inward—he has been my miller for several years, is very sensible and pollavering, and can read tolerably well—he was born near Williamsburg, and it is expected, he will make his way thither, or further to the northward, or, probably, over the mountains to the westward—his name is DAVY , but it is expected he will change it to BOB , or to MICAIAH FENDLY , having as some suppose, stolen said Fendly's freedom pass, which is recorded in Mecklenburg county court.
The horse he took is a likely Bay, about four feet eleven inches high, about nine years old, has the mark of some galls on his shoulders, steps very stately, holds his head high, especially when out of the bridle, his mane hangs on the wrong side. The saddle is country made and much worn. An old half-curb bridle. The great coat of drab colour, good cloth, with an old fashioned cape and a rent on the right side. He had on a good black velvet waistcoat and breeches, and other clothes of good Virginia cloth.
Whoever secures the above described men and goods or either of them, so that I get them again, shall receive a liberal reward.

OF TITLES.
Their origin and history.—Their miserable absurdity.—Truth the only adequate reward of merit.
THE case of mere titles is so absurd that it would deserve to be treated only with ridicule, were it not for the serious mischiefs it imposes on mankind. The feudal system was a ferocious monster devouring where it came all that the friend of humanity regards with attachment and love. The system of titles appears under a different form. The monster is at length destroyed, and they who followed in his train, and fattened upon the carcasses of those he slew, have stuffed his skin, and by exhibiting it hope still to terrify mankind into patience and passivity. The system of the northern invaders, however odious, escaped the ridicule of the system of titles. When the feudal chieftains assumed a geographical appellation, it was from some place really subject to their authority; and there was on more absurdity in the style they assumed, than in our calling a man at present the governor of Tangiers or the governor of Gibraltar. The commander in chief or the sovereign did not then give an empty name; he conferred an earldom or a barony, a substantial tract of land with houses and men and producing a real revenue. He now grants nothing but the privilege of calling yourself Tom who were before time called Will; and, to add to the absurdity, your new appellation is borrowed from some place perhaps you never saw, or some country you never visited. The style however is the same; we are still earls and barons, governors of provinces and commanders of forts, and that with the same evident propriety as the elector of Hanover and arch treasurer of the empire styles himself king of France.
Can there be any thing more ludicrous, than that the man, who was yesterday Mr. St. John, the most eloquent speaker of the British house of commons, the most penetrating thinker, the umpire of maddening parties, the restorer of peace to bleeding and exhausted Europe, should be to-day lord Bolinbroke? In what is he become greater and more venerable than he was? In the pretended favor of a stupid and besotted woman, who always hated him as the uniformly hated talents and virtue, tho' for her own interest she was obliged to endure him.
The friends of a man upon whom a title has recently been conferred, must either be wholly blinded by the partiality of friendship not to feel the ridicule of his situation, or completely debased by the parasitical spirit of dependence not to betray their feelings. Every time they essay to speak, they are in danger of blundering upon the inglorious appellations of Mr. and Sir.* Every time their tongue falters with unconfirmed practice, the question rushes upon them with irresistible force, "What change has my old friend undergone; in what is he wiser or better, happier or more honorable?" The first week of a new title is a perpetual war of the feelings in every spectator, the genuine dictates of common sense against the arbitrary institutions of society. To make the farce more perfect these titles are subject to perpetual fluctuations, and the man who is to-day earl of Kensington, will to-morrow resign with unblushing effrontery all appearance of character and honor to be called marquis of Kew. History labors under the Gothic and unintelligible burden; no moral patience can connect the different stories of him who is to-day lord Kimbleton, and to-morrow earl of Manchester; to-day earl of Mulgrave, and to-morrow marquis of Normandy, and duke of Buckinghamshire.
The absurdity of these titles strikes us the more, because they are usually the reward of intrigues and corruption. But, were it otherwise, still they would be unworthy of the adherents of reason and justice. When we speak of Mr. St. John as of the man, who by his eloquence swayed contending parties, who withdrew the conquering sword from suffering France, & gave forty years of peace and calm pursuit of the arts of life and wisdom to mankind, we speak of something eminently great. Can any title express these merits? Is not truth the consecrated and single vehicle of justice? Is not the plain and simple truth worth all the cunning substitutions in the world? Could an oaken garland or a gilded coronet have added one atom to his real greatness? Garlands and coronets may be bestowed on the unworthy and prostituted to the intriguing. Till mankind be satisfied with the naked statement of what they really perceive, till they confess virtue to be then most illustrious when she most disdains the aid of ornament, they will never arrive at that manly justice of sentiment, at which they are destined one day to arrive. By this scheme of naked truth, virtue will be every day a gainer; every succeeding observer will more fully do her justice, while vice deprived of that varnish with which she delighted to gloss her actions, of what gaudy exhibition which may be made alike by every pretender, will speedily sink into unheeded contempt.
Lexington, June 13.
The following are the credentials which citizen Lallemand, minister of the French Republic, delivered to the government of Venice:
The representatives of the French people, composing the committee of public safety of the National Convention, charged by decree of 17 Fructidor [September 3] with the direction of foreign relations.
To the Republic of Venice. Friend and faithful ally of France—Paris, Sansculottide, 2d year [September 16.]
We have appointed citizen Lallemand, to reside near you, as Envoy of the French Republic. The favorable testimonies which we received of the conduct observed by that Republican in the functions he was entrusted with, have persuaded us, that he will discharge the duties which our instructions and the evident interest of the good understanding between the two nations prescribe him, to the satisfaction of both Republics. He is charged to manifest to the Republic and government of Venice, that the political principles of the French people are those of justice and equality between the two nations, which alone can warrant the safety, liberty and respective independence of nations. We invite the senate to give credit to what he shall say in the name of the French republic, and to believe that it has been above all recommended to him to cultivate the friendship which exists and ought forever to exist between the two republics.

INDIAN NEWS.
On Monday morning last the Indians took three prisoners from Mrs. Hite's plantation on Bear Grass, Jefferson county.
At a Squirrel hunt in Madison
county on the 29th and 30th ult. the hunters rendezvoused at Capt. Archibald Wood's; and upon counting the scalps taken, it was found they amounted to 5589!
QUESTION. —Under the 11th and 12th sections of the act of the last session, entitled "An act to amend an act establishing a permanent revenue," what taxes are reduced one fourth, and what not?
Answer. —In this act as well as the two foregoing acts passed in 1792 and 1793, there is to my mind great difficulty in reconciling them together, and extracting the true meaning of the legislature.
In this opinion therefore, I am by no means satisfied, that I shall give their true construction; because even the two sections upon which this opinion is required, shew, that the same act exhibits a contradiction on one and the same page.
This act is said, by its title, to be amendatory of the "Act establishing a permanent revenue;" which was passed in June 1792; but upon examination, it will be found to be principally amendatory of the act of December 1793. One great and moving object to this act, appears to be a reduction of the taxes imposed by the act of 1792; and the same great object appears to be a leading cause for the act now under consideration. It repeals the clause which subjects lands to forfeiture on account of nonpayment of taxes; it postpones the sale of lands for the taxes now due until May 1795, and it declares, "That the taxes to be collected in the year 1795 shall be reduced one fourth." A reduction therefore, or remission of some part of the taxes, was certainly the intention of the legislature, and that such reduction should be uniform and beneficial to the inhabitants at large.
From these premises I am of opinion that such reduction was meant to extend to the taxes due for the year 1794, and also to the arrears of 1792 and '93.
There is a manifest distinction between the expressions, "Arrears of taxes due for land," and "The taxes to be collected for the year 1795;" and this distinction is marked by the legislature. "Arrears of taxes," could never be used by them as fit expressions to describe taxes to be collected at a time to come, viz. in 1795. Arrears of taxes can only mean "Taxes not collected within the time prescribed by law," and the law from the necessity of the case hath always indulged the payment and collection of such taxes after the lapse of such limited time. Could the arrears of taxes then due for the years 1792 and '93 be only meant by the 11th section which speaks of taxes to be collected in the year 1795? I think not.
1. Because the 8th section in the first sentence provides expressly for the collection of those arrears, and excludes any presumption or supposition that they were meant by this description.
And 2dly. Because those arrears are not properly collectible in 1795, but were as properly and more so collectible in 1794, and will no doubt [without being provided for by the legislature] be part of them still to collect in 1796.
The 11th section has a clear reference to the taxes of 1794. It could not possibly mean the taxes due for that year are not collectible until December 1795, and not destrainable for until 1796; and because the power and authority of the assembly which passed this law would cease, before the taxes for the year 1795 would fall due.
It remains now to say how are the 11th and 12th sections to be reconciled.
Put the two contradictory clauses together and they will read thus: "And be it further enacted, that the taxes to be collected in the year 1795 be reduced one fourth. Nothing in this act shall be construed so as to affect the taxes to be collected for the present year." Now the taxes to be collected for the present year spoken of by the Assembly, were by law to be collected in the year 1795.
We are not to suppose the Assembly ignorant of the laws they have made, or of the legal import and operation of those they make; they must therefore have known that the taxes for 1794, were to be collected in 1795.—Knowing this, they could never mean to say (which they must be made to say if the taxes of 1794 are not reduced) "That the taxes for 1794 which are to be collected in 1795 shall be reduced; but this act shall not extend to reduce the taxes of 1794, which are to be collected in 1795."
This saving or proviso therefore in the 12th section being repugnant to the body of the act, must, under an old and well known rule in the interpretation of statutes, be considered as void. By doing so, some degree of consistency will be given to the act of Assembly in general; whereas a contrary construction will tend to obscure and render less discoverable the intention of the legislature.

THAT on the 11th day of August 1783, I, in partnership with ROBERT JOHNSON, located the quantity of ten thousand six hundred sixty-two and an half acres of land in the county of Mason on the waters of Ohio. Beginning at a creek about one mile from the mouth, where said creek is eight or ten yards wide at the mouth, being the first creek of that size below a tree on the bank of Ohio marked IS and IT, and 1783, thence No. 60 E. 400 poles, and from the beginning North 60 West 120 poles, thence to extend Southwardly at right angles for quantity.

LONDON, March 18.
We have the satisfaction of stating the arrival at Falmouth of the Lanzalette, a Spanish packet, after a very quick passage of only three days from Corunna, which brings advice of the Spanish army in Roussillon having attacked the French, killed 700, and taken 1800 prisoners with 20 pieces of cannon.
The account of Admiral Langara's Squadron having captured 4 French frigates is confirmed.
PHILADELPHIA, May 16.
They write from Port Malo that about the 24th of February a republican gun boat cruising on the coast of the department of Ille and Villaine, has taken an aid de camp of the cidevant marquis Puissefat, one of the chiefs of the Chouans and besides two other emigrants, who were just about to disembark at Daonet near Hambelle.
They came direct from England and had on board their vessel 200,000 livres in false assignats, 200,000 in gold and 60,000 in silver, besides a great many papers of great importance, among others an invitation invested with the seal of the British government, wherein they exhorted Charette to keep his ground and not to consent to any terms proposed by the French Republic, because every step was already taken to support him most powerfully!
