FROM THE NATIONAL GAZETTE.
A CONSTITUTION OR FORM OF GOVERNMENT FOR THE STATE OF KENTUCKY.
We the Representatives of the People of the State of Kentucky, in Convention assembled, do ordain and establish this Constitution for its Government.
ARTICLE I.
Sec. 1. THE powers of government shall be divided into three distinct departments, each of them to be confined to a separate body of magistracy, to wit: those which are legislative to one, those which are executive to another, and those which are judiciary to another.
Sec. 2. No person or collection of persons being of one of these departments, shall exercise any power properly belonging to either of the others, except in the instances herein after expressly permitted.
Sec. 3. The legislative power of this commonwealth shall be vested in a general assembly, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
Sec. 4. The Representatives shall be chosen annually, by the qualified electors of each county respectively on the first Tuesday in May; but the several elections may be continued for three days, if, in the opinion of the presiding officer or officers, it shall be necessary, and no longer.
Sec. 5. No person shall be a Representative, who shall not have attained the age of 24 years, and have been a citizen and inhabitant of the state two years next preceding his election, and the last six months thereof an inhabitant of the county in
which he may be chosen; unless he shall have been absent on the public business of the United States, or of this state.
Sec. 6. Within two years after the first meeting of the general assembly, and within every subsequent term of four years, an enumeration of the free male inhabitants above 21 years of age, shall be made in such a manner as may be directed by law. The number of representatives shall at the several periods of making such enumeration be fixed by the legislature, and apportioned among the several counties, according to the number of free male inhabitants above the age of 21 years in each, and shall never be less than 40 nor greater than 100; but no county hereafter erected, shall be entitled to a separate representation, until a sufficient number of free male inhabitants above the age of 21 years shall be contained within it, to entitle them to one representative agreeable to the ratio which shall then be established.
Sec. 7. The Senators shall be chosen for four years.
Sec. 8. Until the first enumeration be made, the Senate shall consist of 11 members, and thereafter for every 4 members added to the house of representatives, one member shall be added to the Senate.
Sec. 9. In choosing the Senate, one member at least shall be elected from each county, until the number of counties is equal to the number of Senators: after which, when a new county is made, it shall, as to the choice of Senators, be considered as being a part of the county or counties from which it shall have been taken.
Sec. 10. The Senate shall be chosen in the following manner: All persons qualified to vote for representatives, shall on the first Tuesday in May in the present year, and on the same day in every 4th year for ever thereafter, at the place appointed by law for choosing representatives, elect by ballot, by a majority of votes, as many persons as they are entitled to have for representatives for their respective counties, to be electors of the Senate.
Sec. 11. No person shall be chosen an elector, who shall not have resided in the state three years next before his election, and who shall not have attained the age of twenty-seven years.
Sec. 12. The electors of the Senate shall meet at such place as shall be appointed for convening the legislature, on the third Tuesday in May in the present year, and on the same day in every fourth year for ever thereafter; and they or a majority of them so met, shall proceed to elect by ballot as Senators, men of the most wisdom, experience and virtue, above 27 years of age, who shall have been residents of the state above two whole years next preceding the election. If on the ballot two or more persons shall have an equal number of ballots in their favor, by which the choice shall not be determined by the first ballot, then the electors shall again ballot before they separate, in which they shall be confined to the persons who on the first ballot shall have had an equal number, and they who shall have the greatest number in their favor on the second ballot, shall be accordingly declared and returned duly elected; and if on the second ballot an equal number shall still be in favor of two or more persons, then the election shall be determined by lot, between those who have equal numbers; which proceedings of the electors shall be certified under their hands, and returned to the Secretary for the time being; to whom shall also be made by the proper officers, returns of the persons chosen as electors in the respective counties.
Sec. 13. The electors of Senators shall judge of the qualifications and elections of members of their own body—and on a contested election, shall admit to a seat as an elector, such qualified person as shall appear to them to have the greatest number of legal votes in his favor.
Sec. 14. The electors, immediately on their meeting, and before they proceed to the election of Senators, shall take an oath or make affirmation of fidelity to this state, and also an oath or affirmation to elect without favor, affection, partiality or prejudice, such person for Governor, and such persons for Senators, as they in their judgment and conscience, believe best qualified for the respective offices.
Sec. 15. That in case of refusal, death, resignation, disqualification or removal out of this State of any Senator, the Senate shall immediately thereupon or at their next meeting thereafter, elect by ballot, in the same manner as the electors are herein directed to elect Senators, another person in his place for the residue of the said term of four years.
Sec. 16. The General Assembly shall meet on the first Monday in November in every year, till the time of their meeting shall be altered by the legislature, unless sooner convened by the Governor.
Sec. 17. Each House shall choose its Speaker and other officers, and the Senate shall also choose a Speaker pro tempore, when their Speaker shall exercise the office of Governor.
Sec. 18. Each House shall judge of the qualifications of its members; contested elections shall be determined by a committee to be selected, formed and regulated, in such manner as shall be directed by law. A majority of each house shall constitute a quorum to do business, but a smaller number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized by law to compel the attendance of absent members, in such manner and under such penalties as may be provided.
Sec. 19. Each House may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and with the concurrence of two thirds, expel a member; but not a second time for the same cause.
Sec. 20. Each house shall keep a journal of its proceedings and publish them weekly, except
such parts of them as may require secrecy, and the yeas and nays of members on any question, shall at the desire of any two of them, be entered on the journals.
Sec. 21. The doors of each House and of committees of the whole, shall be open, unless when the business shall be such as ought to be kept secret.
Sec. 22. Neither House shall, without the consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days; nor to any other place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting.
Sec. 23. The members of the General Assembly, and electors of the Senate, shall receive from the public Treasury, a compensation for their services, which for the present shall be six shillings a day during their attendance on, going to, and returning from the Legislature, and the place for choosing the Senators; but the same may be increased or diminished by law, if circumstances shall require it, but no alteration shall be made, to take effect during the existence of the Legislature which shall make such alteration: They shall in all cases, except treason, felony, breach or surety of the peace, be privileged from arrest during their attendance at the Session of the respective houses, and at the place for choosing Senators, and in going to and returning from the same; And for any speech or debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other place.
Sec. 24. No Senator or Representative shall, during the time for which he shall have been elected, or for one year afterwards, be appointed to any civil office under this State, which shall have been created or the emoluments of which have been increased during the time such Senator or Representative was in office; provided that no member of the first Legislature which shall be assembled under this constitution, shall be precluded from being appointed to any office which may have been created during his time of service in the said Legislature; and no minister of religious societies, member of Congress or other person holding any office of profit under the United States or this commonwealth, except attorneys at law, justices of the peace, militia officers and coroners, shall be a member of either House, during his continuance to act as minister, in Congress, or in office.
Sec. 25. When vacancies happen in the House of Representatives, the Speaker shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies.
Sec. 26. All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives, but the Senate may propose amendments as in other bills.
Sec. 27. Each Senator, Representative, and Sheriff, shall, before he be permitted to act as such, take an oath or affirmation, that he hath not directly or indirectly, given or promised any bribe or treat to procure his election to the said office; and every person shall be disqualified from serving as a Senator, Representative or sheriff, for the term for which he shall have been elected, who shall be convicted of having given or offered any bribe or treat, or canvassed for the said office.
Sec. 28. Every bill which shall have passed both Houses, shall be presented to the Governor, if he approve he shall sign it, but if he shall not approve, he shall return it with his objections, to the house in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections at large upon their journals and proceed to reconsider it; if after such reconsideration, two thirds of that House should agree to pass the bill, it shall be sent with the objections to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall be a law: but in such cases, the votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and nays; and the names of the persons voting for or against the bills, shall be entered on the journals of each House respectively, if any bill shall not be returned by the Governor within ten days (Sundays excepted) after it shall be presented to him, it shall be a law in like manner as if he had signed it; unless the General Assembly by their adjournment prevents its return, in which case it shall be a law, unless sent back within three days after their next meeting.
(TO BE CONTINUED.)
Monday last arrived at New-York the Packet Chesterfield, Capt. Jones, in 49 days from Falmouth. She brought papers to the 4th of May.
LONDON, May 1.
FRANCE, governed by the violent democracy known under the name of Jacobins, has at length denounced war against the King of Hungary and Bohemia. The aspect of Europe is so new that we know not what to conjecture, though at the same time so portentous, that we cannot but fear some general commotion, and consequently some general calamity. War between Germany and France seems now unavoidable, as both parties are too proud and too confident of support, to listen to terms of mutual concession or compromise. Could the voice of reason and moderation be heard amidst the tumults of passion and the clangor of arms, we would, in the character of friends to human nature, and impartial spectators of all political contests,
whether at home or abroad, earnestly recommend peace to the contending parties in France, on the ground of a general amnesty, and the establishment of a third branch in the legislature, by the institution of a chamber for the ancient nobility, and the dignified clergy, analogous to our House of Peers. But the present temper of the parties concerned does not admit of such councils. It will, no doubt, be the first object of what we shall call the monarchical party, including under that denomination both the over-powered nobility and clergy in France, and the sovereigns of other countries who have espoused the cause of the fugitive princes, to seize some strong post or posts in France, ascenders of union, or rather a re-union, of those who are friends, if not of the antient government, yet of moderate reformation. It will, in like manner, be the object of the French democracy to cross the Rhine, and erect the standard of liberty in the Netherlands, in Liege, in Holland too perhaps, and in other countries. The allies will seek for friends and adherents in France, the Nascent Republic in the Low Countries and in Germany, and all around them. Whether will the enthusiasm of freedom, or the combined efforts of many and mighty powers prevail? That is the problem now to be determined by policy and by arms.
It would have been full time enough if the National Assembly had waited till the new King of Hungary had come to some positive measure of hostility against the French, before they had declared war; for as it is, the National Assembly must appear in no other light than that of having declared an offensive war against Germany, merely on the ground of the declared opinion of the King of Hungary, as to the points on which he desired to have the Constitution of France amended, though he had actually taken no measure to enforce that opinion by an overt act, except the stationing of part of his military strength might be construed, which would hardly be allowed so long as he refrained from any direct attack on the possessions of France.
The daring republicans who adopt the doctrines of Thomas Paine in this country, are proceeding to extremities little short of madness, and under the pretence of supporting the cause of freedom, are every day guilty of the grossest treason. Surely with the most perfect zeal for the liberty of the press, it must be the wish of all who are attached to the constitution, to see the proper spirit of controul exerted, and indeed it is shewing a true regard for the sacred freedom of the press to prevent it from being profaned by the scandalous licence which some desperate writers assume, who have no end in view but a general confusion, by which alone they are likely to escape from the horrors of famine, or a gaol.
Government it is to be hoped, are not idle though silent, with respect to the daring liberties which certain factious writers take with the Constitution, and in particular with the executive branch which they are incessantly endeavoring to bring into contempt by a general attack upon monarchy.
Letters received on Saturday by the Flanders mail, are so far interesting in a public light, as they bring us information that the disputes which have so long subsisted in the Netherlands are at length brought to a happy termination.
In a short debate, which occurred on Friday last in the National Assembly of France, after the proposal of war, a sally of one Member produced much applause.—“When Francis the First,” was read as the name of the

King of Hungary, "Read," said he, "Francis the last for there will be no more Kings of Hungary."
The States of Brabant assembled on the 17th instant, when they agreed to grant the subsidies withheld from the two late Emperors—and made solemn professions of attachment and submission to their new sovereign. The only boon they asked in return, was the restoration of the five former Counsellors of the Council of Brabant, which is to be granted. Vander Noot and Van Eupen are not included in this amnesty. The clergy have likewise professed their attachment to the new King, and on every occasion declaim against the new order of things in France, which they are determined to oppose, least the French should endeavor to commit the same violation on their property as they have on the estates of their own clergy. In this moment of invasion, the reconciliation of all parties is a very material point gained, in securing the Netherlands to their lawful sovereign.
Our Ministry are resolutely determined not to interfere in the meditated war on the Continent. As long as the honor and security and true policy of England allow it, they are determined to refrain from all hostility. It is evidently for the interest of the country to remain in peace; but at the same time, it is known to all the world, that this country is prepared for war.—We with earnestly for a continuance of tranquility, but are prepared for the most resolute and violent attacks of an open enemy.
This morning about one o'clock a terrible fire broke out in a store warehouse belonging to Mr. Griffin, in Evangelist Court, Water Lane, Blackfriars, near Apothecaries Hall. Many of the back houses being very old, and the wind blowing high, the flames raged with so much fury that but few of the unfortunate people had time to do more than get out of their houses in their shirts.
About fifty houses have been destroyed, with almost all the furniture which they contained.
A letter was received last week from Dr. Willis, by one of his relatives in the country, wherein he expresses his expectation of returning to England in a few weeks, and of leaving his Royal patient perfectly restored to her health.
The three grand armies of France are in motion; but as yet we do not learn that they have committed any act of hostility. General Brown, a man of great military skill, is to be Commander in Chief of the Austrian army.
An express arrived last night at the Secretary of State's Office, with an account of a suspension of hostilities, for ten days, having been agreed on between the French and Austrians.—A letter was written by Louis to his nephew the King of Hungary, pressing him very strongly to an accommodation with the National Assembly; the suspension was proposed, in order to have time for an answer from the Court of Vienna; so that there are yet hopes, among the more moderate people in Paris, that a war between the two countries may be averted.
In 1745 the French took Ostend, after a ten day's siege. If they should now attempt it, they will be most likely to succeed by a coup-de-main.
M. Perigord, late bishop of Autun, arrived in town on Sunday last, accompanied by M. Garat, editor of the Journal de Paris, M. Dumont, of Geneva, and M. Gallois, all members of the high patriotic party.
They dined with M. de Chauvelin, the new ambassador, who is to present his credentials to the King tomorrow, and to the Queen on Thursday.
M. Perigord is attached to the embassy. He will entirely superintend the conduct of the nominal minister; and as far as age may be supposed to have ripened political wisdom, he is undoubtedly chosen with great propriety.
M. Mienhard, the Secretary of Legation, is by birth a German, but his regeneration into Patriotic Purity is said to be complete.
Orders have been actually sent from Paris for a body of troops to march
to Dunkirk immediately, and to be reinforced by about 4000 men in garrison there. The situation of Dunkirk is so near, as to be not more than six hours quick march to Ostend, which is very weakly garrisoned, and could not resist any regular attack from a large body of forces. The orders given have been so peremptory to make the greatest dispatch, that we may expect to hear every day of the French troops being before that place. The policy of this attack is evident, and could not be better conceived. The French, by taking Ostend, will destroy the nest of privateers which are sitting out there with the greatest alacrity, and must injure French trade very materially.
A letter from an English gentleman at Petersburg, gives a very curious account of the present state of that court. The murder of the King of Sweden made a strong impression on the Empress; but it gave such an alarm to the Arch-duke, as was perceptible to every one. He talked publicly of plans being formed to carry him off; and in a conversation with her majesty, he spoke in the most unmeasured terms, deporting himself, says the letter, "neither as a son, nor as a subject." The health of the Empress is not merely on the decline. There is evidently a thorough break up of the constitution. Her death, though it will make no change in the abject condition of the people, will be the era of a material change in the empire, for it is likely to be divided.
A young man was lately executed at Brussels for enlisting men, not for the Austrian service. This execution, instead of striking terror, has excited indignation. Emigrations and desertions are more frequent than ever.
A letter from Gibraltar says, the brother of the late Emperor of Morocco is not dead of his wounds, as has been reported. He is now perfectly recovered; and there are actually two Emperors of Morocco, viz. Muley Ilham, who was proclaimed at Morocco, and Muley Islama, who has been acknowledged Emperor at Tangiers and Tetuan.
The ladies of France have left off rouge ; the chimney-sweepers of England having adopted it, ought to be a sufficient reason for our British fair quitting their disguises and trusting to nature. There is no colour so attractive as that which
'Nature's own sweet and cunning hand laid on.' Our divine poet very properly calls it 'Celestial rosy red, Love's proper hue.'
THE PUBLIC EDUCATION OF FRANCE. In the plan of public instruction, submitted to the National Assembly by M. Condorcet, and which is printed for the use of the members, there is the following memorable passage:
"The principles of morality taught in the schools, and in the institutions, shall be those which, founded on natural sentiment and reason, belong equally to all men. The constitution, in recognizing the right that each individual has to chuse his religious worship, and in establishing an entire equality among all the inhabitants of France, does not permit that any mode of religious worship shall be adopted, which excluding the children of one part of the citizens, would destroy the equality of advantages, or would give to particular dogmas an advantage contrary to the freedom of opinions. It is therefore rigorously necessary to separate from morality the principles of all particular religions, and not to admit into public instruction the teaching of any mode of religious worship. Every one of these ought to be taught in the temples by its proper ministers. The parents, whatever may be their creed, whatever may be their opinion, as to the necessity of such or such religion, can then, without repugnance, send their children to the national establishments, and the state will not, as heretofore, usurp the rights of conscience, under the pretext of enlightening and directing them."
STOCKHOLM, April 20.
The minor King and the Regent have received an address from the four orders of Stockholm, expressing their grief at the late event. It was composed of nine deputies of the Noblesse, four of the Clergy, five of the Bourgeoisie, and seven of the order of Peasants.—The confusion is daily subsiding, and the government are relaxing gradually from the severe discipline which was established.
BAREITH, (Ger.) April 23.
Yesterday a detachment of Hussars of Blanckenstein, 200 men of the regiment of Esterhazy, 40 dragoons, and 232 post-horses, passed by here in their way to the Low Countries. The infantry recruits consisted of 1042 men, and 181 ferrymen and engineers.
COBLENTZ, April 16.
Marshal Broglio returned here on Saturday. Every thing is in motion here, and seems to indicate the approach of the time for the execution of the long-intended plan of the emigrants; however, it is thought that it will be July before any thing effectual can be done.
Yesterday the King of France's brothers moved from Mentz and Bingen.
OSTEND, April 25. We are here as quiet and unconcerned about a late event at Paris, as if nothing had happened; the Netherlands are so well furnished with German troops, under the best of discipline, that but little fear is entertained here respecting an attack from that unhappy and divided country.
VIENNA, April 15. A body of troops, under the command of General Wallis, is marching into Lower Austria, attended by 21 field pieces, 6 pounders, two 12 pounders, and 2 mortars; 24 battalions of infantry, and 14 divisions of cavalry, in all 40,830 men, and attended by 84 pieces of artillery, six pounders, twelve 12 pounders, and 12 mortars, are on the route for the Netherlands.
PARIS, April 25. The Decrees relative to the sequestration of the Estates of the Emigrants has been inserted in the registers of the Municipality at Paris.
The most positive orders have been issued for the troops to march. General Luckner is to take possession of the defiles of Porentrui, conformably with the Treaty between France and the Bishop of Balle. The center army, reinforced with a detachment from that of the north, is to advance towards Luxemburgh. M. de Rochambeau is to march towards Mons.—Vander Merth has accepted a post in the French army; he acts as Marchal de Camp.
From several parts of the interior of France, the most melancholy news is received. Letters from Nismes declare, that it is now no longer possible to number the Chateaux which have been pillaged and reduced to ashes. Letters from Perpignan, make mention that houses, shops, &c. have been plundered and demolished by a set of ruffians, who, elated by success, attacked churches, &c, overthrew altars, statues, &c.
Arles has been obliged to pay a sum of 80,000 livres as a ransom. The Marseilles army is daily increasing; and it is no longer a secret that their object is to erect the southern provinces into a Republic. The city of Marseilles has advanced them a sum of 100,000 livres.
Yesterday the Minister for Foreign Affairs informed the National Assembly that M. de Semonville, who was appointed by the King, Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Turin, has been arrested at Alexandria, on his journey from Genoa to Turin, by order of his Sardinian Majesty, on pretence that he had no passport from the Sardinian government. The court of Turin has issued orders not to permit M. de Semonville to enter Piedmont; and M. d'Hauteville, Minister for Foreign Affairs, has sent a courier to the Court of France, with dispatches full of complaints against the Ambassador, and saying that it was exceedingly dangerous to suffer him to reside at Turin. He is also accused of having endeavoured to excite tumults. His Sardinian Majesty entreats the King of the French to appoint another Ambassador in his room.
M. de Semonville has written several letters to M. de la Lande, the French Secretary of Legation, complaining of the outrageous insults offered to the representatives of the French nation.
M. Dumourier then read a copy of the dispatches which he has sent to M. de la Lande.—In these he expresses his astonishment that a French Ambassador should be insulted and arrested, while the French rebels who have emigrated are openly protected. He charges expressly the Secretary of Legation,
1st. To insist on the revocation of the orders given by the Sardinian Government for the arrestation of M. de Semonville. 2d. To demand an explanation within 24 hours. 3d. To go to M. de Semonville, and to present him to his Sardinian Majesty. 4th. If the Court of Turin should not observe the laws of good neighbourhood, to withdraw himself from Turin and to accompany the French Minister to Genoa.
The tenor of these dispatches was highly applauded.
M. Bourgoing, the French Ambassador at Madrid, has written to M.
Dumourier, and informed him that Spain neither is, nor has the abilities of becoming hostile to France, and that the cordon of troops on the Frontiers consists of only 12 or 13,000 men.
April 27. This day is appointed for the march of M. de Biron, with an advanced detachment of the army, towards Mons, which will be the first scene of action.—The enthusiasm of the army is at its height. It is impossible for to conceive of more alacrity, more vigour, or more sanguine hopes.
We have, as usual, a number of horrible reports. The Duke of Brunswick shot at a review—the Bishop of Spires dead—the Elector of Bavaria murdered, &c. &c. M. Brissot calls this the Epizootia , or the Royal Mange. There is not a word of truth in all these reports, which are made for the Rue Vivienne.
We have an account to-day that General Luckner has taken possession of the important pass of Porentrui; but it wants confirmation.
The Republic of Berne persists in recalling the regiment of Ernest, but with great expressions of friendship towards France.
M. Polverel, a lawyer, and M. Santonax, one of the Editors of the Revolutions of Paris, and M. Challot, are appointed Commissioners to St. Domingo.
The elector of Treves, the moment he was informed of the King's ultimatum, sent a Courier to Vienna, requesting that the emigrants might be permitted to assemble and to take up arms. It was expected that by the 25th of April, they would be completed, armed, and embodied. The last division of the Brigaw army is arrived at Fribourg. Generals Wallis and Cobourg are in full march at the head of 30 battalions, consisting of 1500 men each.
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, April 23.
The decree of Sunday, that each member should give up one month's pay for the public service, was revoked, on the ground that all extraordinary contributions ought to be voluntary. It now remains open for the members of the assembly, and all their fellow-citizens, to contribute in proportion to their means and their patriotism.
A number of voluntary contributions were received.
A letter from the King was read, stating that the sum allowed for extraordinary and secret services in the foreign department was too small, and desiring that it might be increased by six millions of livres.—Referred to the diplomatic and finance committees.
The minister for the home department gave an account of the internal disturbances, which he attributed chiefly to the disaffected clergy. The Assembly referred his account to the committee of twelve, with an instruction to report on the propriety of depriving the priests, who refused to take the civic oath, of their pensions, or even banishing them the kingdom. One of the secretaries announced that a register was open for the voluntary subscriptions of the members for the expences of the war—all the members present immediately went and subscribed; and the sum thus raised will greatly exceed that which would have been raised by the decree repealed at the opening of the sitting.
Evening Sitting. A number of patriotic gifts were received. A decree was passed for an additional allowance to the officers of the army during the war.
APRIL 24. Great part of this sitting was spent in receiving accounts of patriotic gifts, and the remainder in discussing a plan for the formation of free companies during the war.
Evening Sitting. The same discussion continued.
APRIL 27. A vast number of patriotic donations were made at the bar, among which 450l. were given by three English boys. The scholars of the parish of Saint-Merry offered a purse made up of their pocket money.
A Paymaster-General and a Comptroller-General were ordered for each of the three armies.

SAVANNAH, May 31.
A match for the Bottle Conjurer!
In consequence of notice given, about 300 people assembled at the filature, last Monday evening, to see the wonderful feats which were promised to be performed by John Perry's daughter, himself, his horse, pigeon, &c. After suffering much for an hour and a half, from the heat of the weather, and the house being greatly crowded, they were obliged to dismiss without having their curiosity gratified, for some of the company going behind the curtain found John and his associates, by means of a ladder fixed to one of the windows, had made off with the cash they collected, leaving only a little girl behind them on the stage. The tickets were signed Juan Penez, or Perez, and there seems also to have been concerned in this cheat an Italian, who went by the name of John Jontson, a hair dresser named Williams, and some others whose names are now unknown.

The following gentlemen have been chosen officers of it, viz.
 Mr. William Gray, jun. President.  Capt. George Dodge, Edward Puling, Esq. Mr. John Norris, Jacob Alston, Esq. Capt. William Orne, and Capt. Joseph White, Directors.  Mr. James King, Cashier. 
We are assured that speculation, that bane of industry and integrity, is no part of the system on which this Bank is instituted. Situated in the midst of an enterprising, commercial and manufacturing people, it is intended to facilitate the operations of their industry; and we understand that infant manufactures will be the particular objects of its favor. By this institution, the profits which have hitherto been drawn from the citizens of Essex by other banking houses, and which have not been inconsiderable, may be retained among ourselves, and applied to the promotion of our own business. And as the associates are not only jointly, but individually, answerable for the credit of the Bank, the inhabitants of this county will find a superior degree of security, co-operating with their general interest, to give a currency to the Essex Bank Bills.
A particular convenience arises to the inhabitants more immediately in its neighborhood: that every man may deposit his cash in the Bank for security, free of expense, however large or small the sum, and make use of checks for the transaction of business.
While the good of the community is promoted by this institution, it is hoped that the stockholders may derive a reasonable advantage for their enterprize.
BOSTON, June 21.
Capt. Kellsa, from Bilboa, which he left the beginning of May, confirms the accounts of the Declaration of War by the French Nation against the House of Austria, and the other powers who have succoured and encouraged the French emigrants, and who have been menacing hostilities, and dictating terms to France. He further adds, that a merchant of great repute in Bilboa, read him an account of a battle which had been fought by the French Patriots, and the Germans in Austrian Flanders—that it was on the 26th day of April, and that accounts had stated the loss on both sides at 7000 men, the action continuing from nine in the morning until four in the afternoon. On which side Victory declared himself, he did not understand, but supposes from the silence on that head, that it was dubious.
The Captain further informs that the Spanish government entertained great fears of a Revolution in that kingdom—that, as far as possible, all correspondence on political subjects was interdicted, and that the Inquisition-Boat visited every vessel on its arrival, to forbid the landing of any books, pamphlets, letters or newspapers, but such as were previously inspected. The Captain and crew of all vessels were also forbid speaking on the government or religion of Spain.
NEW-YORK, June 25.
The Governor of the state of Georgia has issued his proclamation requiring the citizens of that state resident in the lower district, to elect, on the 9th of July, one Representative in the Congress of the United States, in the room of Anthony Wayne.
Philadelphia, June 30.
European accounts by the Packet, and by a late arrival at Charleston from London, further inform—That proclamations are stuck up in all the streets of Luxembourg, purporting that the Governors General of the Low Countries have been informed that the Jacobins have formed a design of sending emissaries into that country, under the disguise of peasants, to distribute seditious pamphlets among the people—they therefore offer a reward of 100 ducats to any one who shall cause any of these emissaries to be arrested—That the trial of M. Lessart before the High Court, had commenced; his first hearing lasted three hours.—That the French ports in the channel were menaced by privateers who were preparing to put to sea under imperial colours the moment war was declared.—That the Prince de Nassau had arrived at Coblenz.—That the Princes of Hohenloe, Bartenslein, &c. have concluded treaties of subsidy with the French Princes.—In the late fire at Gottenburg, 120 houses were destroyed, the university and the shipping were preserved.—The new King of Hungary has dismissed all the retainers of the Italian opera, by which he saves 300,000 florins per annum;—that he had lately received a note containing these words, "If you value your life, do not meddle with the affairs of the French nation."—That reports are in circulation at Paris, that the Prince of Brunswick was assassinated in his closet; that the Elector of Bavaria is dead; and that the Empress of Russia was arrested.—That the celebrated Captain Pacha, who was Admiral of the Turkish fleet the late war, is deposed, and succeeded by a page aged 30, who has never seen any service at sea; this appointment has much displeased the officers of the navy.—That notwithstanding the discontents which reigned in Sweden at the conclusion of the Diet of Gefle, the assassination of the King has contributed more to reconcile those to the royal authority who were opposed to it, than to forward the views of the conspirators—of this, the young King and the regent have received proof by a deputation from the four orders to assure those Princes of their loyalty and attachment.—That the death of Gustavus has not altered the determination of the Swedish government to unite with the confederate sovereigns of Prussia, Austria and Russia.—That the Imperialists are in full force every where, and their troops in the finest condition—that they have an army of 16,000 men in the neighbourhood of Brussels, and that Ostend is guarded by a chosen body of troops.—Notwithstanding the preceding accounts, there is the strongest reason to believe that the confederates against the revolution of France entertain the greatest apprehensions for the internal tranquillity of their respective territories—the French are enthusiastic, and will be invincible, for the spirit of liberty, where a contest can be maintained, will most assuredly triumph.
Sailed on Monday last from this port for England, the ship Ceres, Capt. Marsh. In this vessel the honorable Mr. PINCKNEY, Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States to the Court of Great-Britain, and family, Mr. COLLET, Mr. ONGAL and Mr. ROMESONE, went passengers.
Electioneering for seats in the House of Representatives of the United States, under the law providing for an encrease in that branch of the legislature, is begun in Virginia. The Winchester paper of the 18th inst. contains an address to electors from Mr. Robert Rutherford, of Berkley county, an old servant of the public, on the subject.
Articles in the British papers received by the Packet, speaking of the conduct of the English Ministry at the present crisis, insinuate—that they have not only changed their system of a balance, but that they have surrendered all the ancient and established policy of England, and because they have been foiled in undertaking needless armaments, are at length determined to suffer no occasion to provoke them to hostility. They have called out Wolf! Wolf! so long, with needless terror, or with artful design, that they are now afraid to announce a real danger.
The latest accounts from France contain little more than details of the patriotic spirit which the declaration of war has brought into action, and the zeal with which contributions are made to support it. This is the critical period to provide those permanent resources for the support of Liberty and the Constitution, which may be wanted when the present ardor shall abate. Our allies will doubtless profit by the experience of this country.
The Salem Gazette of last week contains a particular account of a disagreeable affair that occurred in Table Bay, between Capt. Sims, of the ship Fame, of Philadelphia, and Captain Bligh, commander of the British ship Providence. Capt. Bligh, it seems, took one of Capt. Sims' men, and notwithstanding the spirited remonstrances of Capt. Sims, refused to deliver him up.—On various pretences, it is said that the seamen have in a high-handed manner been lately taken from several American vessels.
We hear that the distilling business is in so flourishing a way of late, that for the want of a sufficient quantity of new copper, the smiths are making use of old copper kettles, for stills.
The Pittsburgh Gazette, received by yesterday's post, contains nothing new.
From a Bennington paper of June 15.
We are happy to inform our readers, that the report published some time since, stating that Judge Powell was sent to Quebec in irons, is wholly premature; that piece of calumny was undoubtedly framed by some of his enemies—for, like all men of merit, he is not without them.
The account of the assassination of the King of Sweden, as published by authority at Stockholm, contains the following particulars in brief: That it appears from the confessions of the criminals themselves, that Ankerstrom and Count Horn had agreed, that the removal of the King was the only thing that could effect their wishes in a change of the government—That Ankerstrom says he was also actuated by a spirit of revenge on account of a prosecution carried on against him last year, which induced him to be the instrument of removing the King—That several plans of carrying the design into execution had been contemplated, but had failed—That Count Ribbing entered into the conspiracy; shortly after which, it was resolved by these three persons, that the King should be assassinated by Ankerstrom, either with a dagger or pistols, at a play or masquerade, where a great concourse of people would be collected, that the assassin might be easier concealed—That these three conspirators were at the play on the 16th January last—that Horn placed Ankerstrom in a covered passage, which the King used to pass through, where he was to have been shot; but the King did not that evening go into this passage, by which means Ankerstrom's murderous intention was frustrated—Two days after this, he was at another play, but could not get a favorable opportunity—A masquerade between the 19th and 20th of January was then fixed on, but the company being small, prevented the execution of their design—They then set out for Gefle, where the murder was to have been perpetrated at a masquerade on the 2d March, but was again prevented in consequence of the small number of persons present.—A masquerade was advertised for the 16th March; this was fixed on as the time; previous to which, it appears, that Major Liljehorn and General Pechelin had been let into the secret—the latter of whom was to provide for the revolution which was to take place after the assassination.
The whole plan was further matured at Count Ribbing's country seat—who was to get a number of people to the masquerade, in which business Pechelin promised to assist. Horn, Ankerstrom, and Ribbing, met at the lodgings of the latter on Friday evening, where Ankerstrom loaded his pistols with balls, shot and nails; besides which he took a large knife, ground sharp on both sides, and to which a barb was made; after which they all three went to the masquerade—When the King, presently after, came into the room, Ankerstrom in the crowd approached him, took the pistol from his side-pocket and shot the King, who stood with his back towards him, so near that the mouth of the pistol touched his cloaths. Ankerstrom, who, when the King did not fall, was about to complete the murder with the knife, was so agitated, that he dropped it on the floor, and let the pistols also gently fall at the same time; as he drew himself back among the people, to create a general confusion, he cried out, Fire! which was repeated by many others.
It appeared that Baron Bjelke was deeply concerned—that Lieut. Ehrensvard was also of the party—that the Counsellor of Chancery, Jacob Von Engestrom, was acquainted with the design—besides whom, Major Hertfmandorf, of the Artillery, the Secretary of Protocol, John Von Engestrom, are accused, and have made partial confessions.
General Pechelin denies the charges against him, but Baron Bjelke poisoned himself, and the court of justice ordered that his body should be taken by the common hangman to the gallows, and buried there—which was done.
The Counsel for the prosecution has given in his final pleading against Ankerstrom, and the Royal Court of Justice is proceeding in the business with respect to the others.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in England, to his friend in this city—received by the Packet—dated May 1st, 1792.
"Before I enter upon the special business, that occasions my writing by the packet; I must congratulate you upon the rising spirit of humanity and liberty in my native country, which has at length shewn itself in the House of Commons, where it was carried the last week that the British African trade in human flesh shall cease Jan. 1st, 1796. You will now be furnished with continual news from Europe. The despots having persisted in their plan of attempting to force the French to submit to their former slavery, notwithstanding the providential warnings given them to the contrary in the unexpected deaths of the Emperor and the Swedish King; the National Assembly and the King of the French, have wisely declared war against the King of Hungary, with the design of giving a home thrust, before the confederates are fully provided to parry it off. A stranger to the language of France, and too far advanced beyond sixty, I cannot serve them in any shape by crossing the channel, beyond what I can do here, by openly and publicly, as well as privately advocating their cause, and imploring the favor of heaven on them that they may be succeeded, that the judgment of war may be changed into a blessing to them, by proving the mean of firmly establishing their constitution, and that it may also prove the introduction and confirmation of sacred and civil liberty in its utmost extent through other European dominions. The present is a new kind of war; royal and imperial despotism against national liberty. I pretend not to the knowledge of court-secrets; but can easily conjecture, that the royal undertakers have the hearty sanction of all the crowned heads, the Polish only excepted; and they that have faith in the sincerity of Louis, will except him also. Many think that our court are strong in favor of the anti-revolutionists; and would willingly aid them out of the public purse; but it is my own private opinion, besides that of great numbers, that no minister will dare to do it; for it is certain, that a sense of what are the rights of men spreads; the many excellent publications, that Burke's political yeast or barm has raised into existence, have greatly diffused civil knowledge. Paine, and some others go into an excess; but they are of great use, and tend to bring off individuals from the other extreme, and nearer to that middle wherein lies the greatest safety. I have lived to see one revolution terminate most happily, in the best government that exists; and I hope to see the other in Europe end gloriously."
not that either is perfect. The French should have an upper House or Senate, where the aristocrats may collect and share in government. There will always, in a large commercial community, be persons, whose superior abilities and fortunes will raise them above the generality, and who will of course entertain aristocratic sentiments; and I apprehend that it is much safer for the body politic, that these should form a separate branch, than mix with the common mass in one representative assembly, where by joint and covert policy they secure a majority to support their own dangerous, though invincible plans. Your American Constitution has provided that no title of nobility shall be granted by the United States; it should have provided also, that no honorary distinguishing titles (which are really titles of nobility) shall be hereditary, or permanent from one generation to another. You will perceive that I have my eye to the Cincinnati, for the individuals of which I have the greatest veneration and esteem, and let them enjoy the honorable order while they exist; but then let it cease with them: but if their sons, and sons-sons are to inherit it after them, they have a privilege annexed to them, that exalts them above their fellow-citizens, which is actual nobility. Hereditary honors or offices, I abhor (as being repugnant to common sense) with one exception—honors and offices are bestowed as the reward of merit, and should therefore be confined to merit; but merit is not hereditary. The patriotic and courageous soldier, may be succeeded by a cowardly selfish son. The firmest friend of liberty may leave behind him a man of the most unprincipled and despotic cast. The pious and good magistrate and minister, may be the fathers of profligate and vile wretches. I have made a single exception, in favor of a peculiar hereditary succession, being apprehensive that the first magistrate, whether titled King, Emperor, or President, should be hereditary to prevent the horrid contests that must be the attendants of renewed elections.—To avoid which for the future, the Poles have in their new constitution provided for an hereditary sovereignty."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Lexington, Kentucky, to his correspondent in Carlisle, dated May 21st, 1792.
"The Indians have been doing a considerable damage about Frankfort—They were pursued over the Ohio by a party of Volunteers, but they found the Indians too strong to attempt an attack, and returned without doing any thing."
Extract of another letter from the same place. "Our Convention did in one week make a Constitution; the next week that Constitution was unanimously adopted; and now our Representatives, Electors, Sheriff and Coroner, being chosen, and after them our Governor and Senators, viz.—Governor, Isaac Shelby,—Senators, John Campbell, for Jefferson county—John Logan, for Lincoln; —Caldwell, for Nelson—William McDowell, for Mercer—Robert Todd, for Fayette—Thomas Kennedy, for Madison—John Allen, for Bourbon—Robert Johnston, for Woodford—Alexander D. Orr, for Mason. Extra Senators, Alexander S. Bullet, Payton Short; the wheels of that constitution will on the 4th of June be put in motion. The large brick market house is now converted into an elegant Assembly Room. The buildings carrying on here are really surprising."
Ignorance is said to be the effect of tyranny, but it may be doubted whether an enlightened people were ever enslaved except by the application of superior external force.
Certain it is, that freedom and ignorance cannot long exist together; for mankind will not naturally prize those things, the advantages of which require an enlightened understanding justly to appreciate.
"Oppression will make men mad"—and resistance to tyranny is an impulse of nature, whether enlightened or not; but, the blessings of revolutions depend on a wise improvement of that change in society which they produce—for the want of due information, and just principles how many enterprizes in favor of the rights of man have proved abortive!
Friends of the human race! would you lay the foundations of liberty on a basis that can never be moved, evince your patriotism by taking effectual measures to enlighten the GREAT BODY OF THE PEOPLE.

THE FOLLOWING IS THE CELEBRATED FRENCH REVOLUTION SONG, WITH A TRANSLATION.
CA IRA.
AH! ca ira, ca ira, ca ira, Le peuple, en ce jour sans cesse repete' ah! Ah! ca ira, ca ira, ca ira, Malgre mutins tout reussira. Nos ennemis confus en relèvent la Et nous all-ons chanter Al-le-lu-iah, Ah! ca ira, ca ira, ca ira, Quand Boileau jadis du Clerge, par la, Comme un prophete il a predit ce la, En chantant ma chan-sonnet avec plaisir on dira, Ah! ca ira, ca ira, ca ira, Malgre mutins tout reussira.

SOCIETY FOR ESTABLISHING USEFUL MANUFACTURES.
At a meeting of the Directors of the Society for establishing useful manufactures, held at New-ark, on Friday the eighteenth day of May, 1792, at which time was passed the following.
Supplement to an ordinance, entitled, "An ordinance for securing the punctual payment of the monies due on the subscriptions to the society for establishing useful manufactures."
WHEREAS by the third section of the ordinance entitled, "An ordinance for securing the punctual payment of the monies due on the subscriptions to the society for establishing useful manufactures," it is ordained, that if any subscriber or his assigns, shall neglect to pay the second, third or fourth payment of his, her or their respective subscriptions, for the space of three days after the expiration of the time limited by the law of incorporation for the said payments, that is to say, the second payment, on the 13th day of July, 1792: that then and in that case, all and every share or shares, of such person or persons, so neglecting to make such payments as aforesaid, and the monies by them previously paid, shall be forfeited, and forever thereafter vested in the said directors and their successors for the common benefit of the said society.
And whereas circumstances render it inexpedient to exact full payment of the second instalment on the said thirteenth day of July next, or within three days thereafter.
Be it therefore ordained, by the deputy governor and directors of the society for establishing useful manufactures, that if the said second payment shall be made in manner following, that is to say, one equal third part thereof, on or before the thirteenth day of August next, one other equal third part thereof, on or before the thirteenth day of September next, and one other equal third part thereof, on or before the thirteenth day of October next, with lawful interest computed thereon from the said thirteenth day of July next, that then and in such case, the said penalty mentioned in the said section, shall not be exacted, any thing in the said ordinance to the contrary notwithstanding.
