KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE.
On the 4th inst. the Governor of Kentucky delivered the following speech to the Legislature of that State: Gentlemen of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives,
At no period, since the commencement of the Federal Government, have the prospects of liberty, harmony, and national prosperity, been more flattering, and more promising of permanency, than at the present moment. Happy; free from internal commotion, and from the dread, as well as the experience of the horrors of war—a general tranquility pervades the Union, and an attachment to the federal constitution, with a confidence in the administration of its government, and a conformity to its laws, fill up the measure of the duties and the happiness of its citizens.
In recurring to the internal situation of our own state, our prospects in many respects, are not less pleasing. The increase of our population within the last ten years, rivals any thing recorded in the history of man, and must raise our consequence & respectability in the scale of the federal Union. Our agricultural improvements have kept pace with our population. A slow, but progressive extension of our commerce with other nations, by the channel of the Mississippi, with an increase in the produce of our soil, the effect of general industry, and of favorable seasons, afford pleasing expectations of national prosperity, and dictate gratitude and praise towards an over-ruling Providence.
If there be circumstances in the present state of things, bearing a less kindly aspect, it may be worthy of our attention how far they have been owing to ourselves, and how far our own prudence and foresight may avert the consequences of them.
The present exhausted state of our treasury, will, no doubt, excite regret, if not alarm; for it must if not remedied in time, endanger, if it does not destroy our national credit.
The proceeds of the revenue laws, have been found to be inadequate to our expenditures of government, moderate and economical as they are, as will appear to you, on having recourse to the public offices. The evil consequences of this, are too numerous and great, to escape your notice, or to admit of indifference as to the means of attempting correctives of the evil.
Another circumstance, meriting your attention, is the alarming increase of capital crimes. It is not in my power to determine, whether this painful fact, be owing to any imperfection in our criminal jurisprudence, or to any defect in the execution of the laws, or simply to the common depravity of human nature; but sure I am that it exhibits one of the most gloomy, and one of the most fearful scenes that ever presented itself to civil society. For the credit of our country and of man, I sincerely wish that I could consistently with duty have drawn a veil over a subject so disagreeable: and though I mention it, I mention it with regret, and with a view of drawing towards it your serious deliberation. The multiplicity of crimes may be partly owing to legal obstructions in the way of justice, to the facility of avoiding trial, and of escaping the penalties of transgression, when the law has pronounced her judgment. It will, therefore, merit your enquiry, whether the ordinary process of law might not be rendered more efficacious in bringing the accused to trial, and whether executive interference, in case of escapes from the jail, and the penitentiary house, might not be rendered more prompt, more certain, and less expensive, than it can be under the existing laws.
On recurring to the act of Congress respecting fugitives from the justice of other states, and comparing it with a clause of the act of this state, prescribing the mode of suing out and prosecuting writs of Habeas Corpus, some difficulty, if not repugnance, presents itself to the mind. I feel it of importance to request your attention to this subject, and since the act of Congress has directed that fugitives should, under certain conditions, be delivered up by the executive authority, to suggest the propriety of your determining in what manner, and through what channel, this obligation shall be discharged.
The act to amend the penal laws of this commonwealth, provides that all crimes not specified therein, shall be punished as heretofore—so far as crimes were unnotified, the punishment of which, agreeably to our former laws, is too sanguinary in its nature, to comport with the general spirit of the penitentiary system. I might remind you, by way of example, of the
law which renders the stealing of a slave, felony, without benefit of clergy—and of the law which punishes the striking of a juror in the court of justice, by depriving the offender of his hand, of his goods, of the profits of his lands and of his liberty—but I rely on your judgment and patient investigation, to determine whether any, and what laws require a revision, in order to render them compatible with our general system of jurisprudence.
The laws of our state having been some time since revised and amended, under the authority of the legislature, it seems to be expedient, that the general assembly should expressly declare, what former laws were intended to be repealed or superceded. I would likewise remind you that the different acts of the Virginia assembly respecting the collection of rents have not in the course of the revision been acted upon by our own legislature. It is important that they should be either repealed or amended, reenacted and republished, for the information of our fellow-citizens.
It is with peculiar pleasure I now inform you, that our militia appears to be in a state of considerable improvement.
The laudable emulation among many of the officers and men, deserves praise. I will once more suggest to you the expediency of procuring arms and military stores in the case of future danger.
I have no doubt but that the public resources are fully equal to this important object. A part of the installments from the settlers south of Green river, might with great propriety be applied to the accomplishment of it; without interfering with monies arising from the revenue laws of the commonwealth.
In my last communications to the general assembly. I stated the propriety of affording some encouragement to our commerce through the channel of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, as well as to our home manufactures. I am still of opinion, that they are worthy the patronage of the legislature.
I conclude, FELLOW CITIZENS, with expressing my hope, that your zeal for the public interests—that the harmony of your deliberations,—and that your attention and promptness in the dispatch of business, will fully answer the expectations of our constituents, and comport with the character of good and faithful servants of the people.
Colonel James Smith, a missionary sent by the Presbyterian churches of Kentucky to the Indians has returned. We understand he has so far succeeded in his mission, as to get several Indians as scholars to an English school. A subscriber has favored us with the following speeches, delivered at a general meeting of the Indians, at the Great Rock.
SMITH'S SPEECH TO THE INDIANS.
Friends and Brothers,
About two years ago, a great stir about religion began at the south end of the state of Kentucky on the Cumberland river—many of them were alarmed, and engaged in praying to God; and many of them appeared to obtain peace, pardon and comfort. This work, I am told, hath continued there, and increased ever since that time until now. And about four months ago, or in May last, the spirit of God began to work very strongly on the hearts of the people in the north end of that state, on the river Ohio. This work has continued to spread over different parts of the state ever since that time. They meet together and continue for several nights and days praying to God; and many of them appear to have obtained peace with God, through Jesus, and great joy and gladness. I saw a number of children, little boys and girls, praying to God in a wonderful manner! I am now an old man and never saw such work carried on before.
Friends and Brothers,
These praying people hath in love sent me to you, because they are strongly desirous that we should all go to heaven as brother's together, and be forever happy.
CRAIN'S ANSWER.
Friends and Brothers,
We thank you for your care and concern for us, which appears from your taking so long a journey, with the only design and desire of doing us good.
Friends and Brothers,
We have listened to the talk that came from the teachers, which we call the black coats—We thank them for their goodness in sending so far to let us know that the spirit of God hath been working wonder
amongst their people. We thank you that you did not let the news of this great work die or conceal it among yourselves, but hath sent it even all the way to us, to inform us of these things—We believe what the teachers tell us, in the speech which you now delivered concerning God's works, that God made us all, and that he made all things—But we see that God has made a difference between us and the white people; therefore, we think that learning to read books is not for us—We think that God doth not require it of us; because he hath made a difference between us and the white people, in our appearance, in our colour, and in our way of living, which we do not like to change. It appears to us a hard thing to learn to read; and we cannot see that it is necessary for us, seeing that God in his government of the world, hath put us in this way of living, and hath given us our own way of conveying our thoughts to one another—that is by word of mouth, and by wampum. In this way we have sent our thoughts concerning the works of the spirit of God, that hath been amongst us—We have sent speeches and belts of wampum, to the different nations upon this subject. And as the spirit of God has began to work, by and with the means that God in his government has put into our hands, we trust that the same spirit will continue with, and bring us to orderly life and true happiness in the way of living, and in the way of conveying our thoughts, that God in his government has put us in.
Friends and Brothers,
It is about three years since the spirit of God began to work upon the hearts of our people; many of them have been much alarmed, and the work has continued. We think our being bad people, and so many of us doing wrong, is the cause of this, and that God is taking this way to terrify us, and to turn us to that which is right. We return our father, General St. Clair, thanks for his care of us, and for the kind fatherly speech he hath sent us, by his friend and our friend.
Friends and Brothers,
We do not think it necessary for you to send a minister here to this place; we have one already, and we choose to worship in our way, and we trust that the spirit of God will direct us in the way that he, in the government hath placed us.
Friends and Brothers,
We repeat our thanks to you all, for your kindness—Do not think hard of us because we cannot think as you do concerning what is good for us—Be not offended, after coming so far, because we cannot agree to your friendly proposal.
SMITH'S ANSWER TO CRAIN'S SPEECH.
Friends and Brothers,
I know there is a visible difference between you and us in your appearance, and in your way of living; but this I look upon as immaterial—Mankind has always a strong desire of seeing something new, and in order to gratify this desire, God in his work of creation and government of the world, and by natural causes producing natural effects hath made boundless variety every where, through the whole world; scarcely any two things are altogether alike—Being for thousands of years in different climates or parts of the world, in different ways, might alter the colour—The books that our fathers left us, tell us that our forefathers lived nearly in the same manner that you do now; they made use of the bow and arrow. They were great warriors; and when they went to battle, they stripped off what little clothes they had, and fought with their bodies naked shouting about, in order to terrify the enemy—They also painted as the Indians do now. The name they now go by took its rise from this, as the name Briton signified painted.
Friends and Brothers,
It is not so hard to learn to read and write as you may imagine; it may appear hard at first, but when they can know what they are reading is very delightful, to read edifying and entertaining stories. I agree with you, that God is all powerful, and that he may take you to heaven by word of mouth instruction, without learning to read books—but further instruction by God's word, would be very needful, to shew you the plain way to heaven—mankind broke the law of God, and got out of the way of happiness and into the road of misery—Jesus Christ the Son of God, became man, and is God and man in two different natures and one person. He fulfilled the law of God, and by dying on the cross, he hath satisfied
the justice of God. He hath paid all our debts, and hath bought heaven for us, our praises or works will not raise us to heaven; all things are ready, our business is to believe in Jesus, and humbly beg for every thing we need, for his sake. Learning to read would be of great use, in shewing you particularly the way to heaven—it would also be of use to you in this world—you are a rich people; you have a large rich country; and without learning, you cannot manage your business—you are naturally a very wise people, endowed with strong thinking powers; if you had learning you could manage your business, and be a wealthy people.
Friends and Brothers,
About forty years ago, I lived in the old Wiandot, town, up this river, and was then as one of you—though my Wiandot friends are almost all dead, I thank God that he has preserved me alive, and brought me to this place, to see the faces of their children in peace and love.
I know you had a minister among you when I lived in your town, and I think he was a good man, and gave you good advice—I did not come here to dispute about religion, or to oppose your minister—I pray that the instruction which he gave you, agreeable to God's word, may be blessed to you—I was sent here to see if I could be of any real benefit to you, not knowing particularly your present situation—I still hope the time is coming, when you will receive learning—I suppose your forefathers did not receive it suddenly but by little, and 'got it from other people—it is likely, it may be the same way with you—it is expected that a school for learning Indians will be set up at Mr. Isaac Zean's, next spring; you may consider of those things until that time.
[I found that they gave ear to this speech and received it in a friendly manner by the shouts of approbation which they expressed.] J. S.

Late Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON October 3. FRANCE and RUSSIA.
A kind of preliminary Treaty, which the first Consul sent to Alexander I. for his approbation, tending chiefly to terminate the present differences between the French and Russian nation, has obtained the additional sanction of that Monarch, who has charged M. de Markow, the new Russian Minister at Paris, to ratify it in his name should the first Consul agree to the terms proposed.
FROM EGYPT.
LONDON, Sept. 30.
The embarkation of the French troops that surrendered at Cairo, was expected to be completed by the 8th of Aug. Sickness prevailed in the British army. Among those afflicted were gens. Hutchinson, Doyle and Craddock.
October 3. The Moniteur has published the official account of the surrender of Cairo. The bickerings among the generals was one of the causes of the defeat of the French in Egypt. Bounaparte is indignant at their conduct. Regnier demands a court martial; and Menou will have one without asking.
Mr. Melwitz, servant to Lord Elgin, arrived yesterday with dispatches from his Lordship, dated Constantinople, Sept. 6, stating that gen. Hutchinson invested Alexandria the 17th of Aug. after the flotilla of French gun boats had been destroyed and some batteries between Lake Mareotis and the shore. Menou on the 22d, sent a flag of truce, demanding an armistice of three days, which was granted, at the end of which Alexandria will be given up.
Bounaparte was urged to conclude our Treaty, by other motives than the conditions offered. Factions were forming against him at Paris, taking peace for their ground, and he was obliged to have a large body of troops in that city. Alexandria, too, which he made an article of barter in the negotiation, he knew had surrendered, and he wished to obtain something under pretence of giving it up.
M. Otto is said to have had account of the surrender of Alexandria, on Thursday night, before he signed the Preliminary Treaty.
PORTO FERRAJO.
The Paris Moniteur of Sept. 28, relates, that Ad. Warren debarked 2500 Swiss troops on the Island of Elba, together with sailors and marines, to act in concert with the garrison of Porto Ferrajo. They were at first successful, and took a battery; but

at length, (says the French paper) were repulsed, and intercepted in their retreat, 200 English taken prisoners, and 1000 of the foreign corps killed. A British frigate dismasted, and 10 gun boats taken.
TROUBLES IN TURKEY.
The Turkish Empire is advancing rapidly to that desolation which has been so long predicted. Insurrection has not been confined to one province, but has broken out near Constantinople, at Adrianople, Philippopolis, Nissa and other places. The populace have risen upon their Magistrates, and much blood has been shed. Several governors have been forced to fly, and revolt is spreading in the most rapid manner we dread the consequences of a revolution in a country situated as Turkey is—where there will be no other rallying point or common principle than that of destroying the Government. No system will be prepared to replace that which is destroyed, and it is to be apprehended that anarchy will pervade the whole empire.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The Prussian troops have entered the Bishopric of Munster.
The French Government has officially expressed astonishment at the delay on the part of the Germanic Diet to execute the 7th Art. of the treaty of Luneville, and insists on some conclusion respecting the indemnities.
It is evident Piedmont is to be annexed to France.
It is understood that the king of Naples has surrendered the whole of his great navy to France, viz. two ships of the line and two frigates.
The king of Etruria has been acknowledged by the courts of Vienna and Berlin.
The king of Sardinia, and the Emperor of Russia, do not appear to have recognized his Etrurian Majesty.
The Paulina, from Rotterdam for Alexandria, with Mr. Murry, the late American Minister, in Holland, as a passenger, touched at Falmouth the 1st of Oct.
The San Antonio of 74 guns, lately captured by the British off Gibraltar, has arrived at Portsmouth.
The Duke of Gloucester, one of his majesty's sons, is seriously indisposed.
October 10.
Yesterday evening Paris papers reached us to the 7th instant, but at too late an hour for us to communicate, in any satisfactory way, the preliminaries of peace, and the ratification of them by the French government, as announced in the Moniteur of the 6th instant.
This morning we received, by express, journals of the 7th; and we have the pleasure of stating, that in the flag of truce, by which they were brought over, citizen Lauriston, aid-de-camp to Buonaparte, came passenger, with the ratification of the preliminaries. He landed at Dover at nine o'clock last night, and soon after proceeded to town, where he arrived this morning. The ratification was communicated to lord Hawkesbury, and was announced in the following
London Gazette, Extraordinary. Downing-street, Oct. 10.
THE RATIFICATIONS of the PRELIMINARY ARTICLES of PEACE between his Majesty and the French Republic, signed on the 1st instant, were this day exchanged by the right honourable lord Hawkesbury, one of his majesty's principal secretaries of state and by M. Otto.
The park and tower guns were fired upon this happy occasion, and the general exultation was unbounded.
October 11.
About three o'clock, the following letter from lord Hawkesbury was posted up at the mansion house, bank, Lloyd's, and Stock exchange.
To the right hon the lord mayor.
Downing-street, Oct. 10, 1801.
"My Lord—I have the satisfaction to inform your lordship, that general Lauriston arrived in town this morning, with the Ratification of the Preliminaries of Peace, signed on the 1st instant. The Ratification of the two governments has this afternoon been exchanged between M. Otto and myself."
(Signed)
HAWKESBURY.
The silence of our government on the terms of this treaty, although of the consequence from the communication of the Paris Journals, forms a strong and not very favorable contrast to the attention paid by the French executive to the anxious and legitimate solicitude of the people. We are therefore compelled to resort
to the Moniteur for the details of this important paper, observing, what we hear to be the fact, that in the original instrument Great-Britain has precedence to France in the preamble and signature.
Preliminaries of Peace.
Preliminaries of Peace between the French Republic, and his Britannic Majesty, signed at London, 9th Vendemaire, 10th year of the French Republic, (first Oct. 1801.)
FROM THE MONITEUR.
The first consul of the French republic, in the name of the French people, and his majesty the king of the United Kingdom of Great-Britain and Ireland, being animated with an equal desire of putting a stop to the calamities of a destructive war, and to re-establish harmony and good understanding between the two nations, have appointed for that purpose, viz. the first consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French people, citizen Louis William Otto, commissary for the exchange of French prisoners, in England; and his Britannic majesty, Robert Banks Jenkinson, esq. (commonly called lord Hawkesbury) one of the members of his Britannic majesty's privy council, and principal secretary of state for foreign affairs—who after duly exchanging their full powers in proper form, have agreed upon the following preliminary articles:
Article I. As soon as the preliminaries shall have been signed and ratified, sincere friendship shall be re-established between the French republic and his Britannic majesty by sea and land in every part of the world, and that all hostilities may immediately cease between the two powers, and between them and their allies respectively, orders shall be transmitted accordingly to the sea and land forces with the utmost despatch; each of the contracting parties engaging to give the necessary passports and facilities to accelerate the arrival of the said orders, and to ensure their execution. It is further agreed upon, that all conquests which may be made on the part of one or the other of the contracting parties, from either of them or their allies, after the ratification of the present preliminaries, shall be regarded as void, and shall be faithfully included in the restitutions which are to take place after the ratification of the definitive treaty.
II. His Britannic majesty shall restore to the French republic and to her allies, namely, to his Catholic majesty, and the Batavian republic, all the possessions and colonies occupied or conquered by the English forces in the course of the present war, with the exception of the island of Trinidad, and the Dutch possessions in the island of Ceylon, of which islands and possessions his Britannic majesty reserves to himself the complete and entire sovereignty.
III. The port of the Cape of Good Hope shall be open to the commerce and navigation of the two contracting parties, who shall therein enjoy the same advantages.
IV. The island of Malta, with its dependencies, shall be evacuated by the English troops, and restored to the order of St. John of Jerusalem. To secure the absolute independence of that island upon the one or the other of the contracting parties, it shall be placed under the guarantee and protection of a third power, to be determined by the definitive treaty.
V. Egypt shall be restored to the Sublime Porte, the territory and possessions of which shall be maintained entirely as they were before the present war.
VI. The territories and possessions of her Faithful Majesty shall be also maintained entire.

The evacuations, cessions, and restitutions, stipulated by the present preliminary articles, shall be carried into execution, in Europe within one month; on the continent and seas of Africa and America in three months; and on the continent and seas of Asia in six months after the ratification of the definitive treaty.
X. The respective prisoners shall immediately after the exchange of the ratification of the definitive treaty be restored in a body and without ransom, on the reciprocal payment of the private debts which they may have contracted.
Differences having arisen respecting the payment of the subsistence of the prisoners of war the contracting powers reserve the right of deciding this question, by the definitive treaty, according to the law of nations and the principles sanctioned by common usage.
XI. In order to prevent all subjects of complaint and litigation which might arise on account of prizes made at sea after the signing of the preliminary articles, it is reciprocally agreed, that the vessels and effects which may be taken in the channel, and in the seas of the north, after the space of 12 days, the date from the exchange of the ratification of the present preliminary articles, shall be restored on each part; that the term shall be one month from the Channel and seas of the north, as far as the Canary Islands inclusively, whether in the Ocean or in the Mediterranean; of two months from the said Canary Islands as far as the Equator; and finally, of five months in all other parts of the world, without any exception or any other distinction more particular with respect to time and place.
XII. All the sequestration laid on the one part or the other on the funds, revenues, and debts, of whatever kind they may be, belonging to one of the contracting powers, or to its citizens or subjects, shall be taken off immediately after the signing of the definitive treaty.
The decision of all claims between the individuals of both nations respecting all debts, property, effects, or rights whatsoever, which in conformity to the acknowledged usages and rights of nations, should be forthcoming at the epocha of peace, shall be referred to the competent tribunals and in these cases prompt and complete justice shall be done, where such claims shall be respectively made. It is agreed that the present article shall immediately after the ratification of the definitive treaty, be applied by the contracting powers to the respective allies and individuals of their nations, under the condition of just reciprocity.
XIII. With respect to the fisheries on the coasts of Newfoundland, and the adjacent islands, and in the gulf of St. Lawrence, the two powers are agreed to replace them on the same footing upon which they were before the present war, reserving to themselves the right of making, by the definitive treaty, such arrangements as may appear just and reciprocally useful, in order to place the fisheries of both nations in the most proper state for the maintenance of peace.
XIV. In all cases of restitution agreed to by the present treaty, the fortifications shall be restored in the state in which they are at the moment of the signing of the present treaty, and all the fortifications constructed since the operation of them shall remain entire.
It is further agreed, that in all cases of concessions stipulated in the present treaty, a term of three years, to date from the ratification of the treaty of definitive peace, shall be allowed to the inhabitants, of whatever description or rank they may be, to dispose of their property acquired or possessed, whether previous to or during the present war; during which term of three years they shall be at full liberty to exercise freely their religion and to enjoy their property.
The same privileges are granted in the restored countries to all those who shall have made, establishments in them of whatever kind they may be during the time that these countries were in possession of Great-Britain.
With respect to the other inhabitants of the restored countries, it is agreed that none of them shall be prosecuted, disturbed, or molested in their persons or in their properties, on any pretence whatever, on account of their conduct or political opinions, or of their attachment to either of the two powers, or for any other reason, unless for debt contracted with respect to individuals, or for acts subsequent to the definitive treaty.
XV. The present preliminary articles shall be ratified, and the ratifications exchanged at London, in the space of fifteen days at farthest; and immediately after the ratification, plenipotentiaries shall be appointed on both sides, who shall repair to Amiens, in order to proceed to the arrangement of the definitive treaty, in concert with the allies of the contracting powers.
In witness whereof, we the undersigned plenipotentiaries of the French Republic and his Britannic majesty, by virtue of our respective full powers, have signed the present preliminary articles, and have thereto affixed our seals.
Done at London on the 9th Vendemaire, tenth year of the French Republic—the first day of October, one thousand eight hundred and one (Signed) OTTO, HAWKESBURY.
We understand that the marquis Cornwallis will proceed, in a few days, to Amiens, to meet the French plenipotentiary, and proceed with all possible dispatch to the final arrangement of peace. The first consul's brother, Joseph Buonaparte, who signed the treaty of Luneville, will probably be appointed plenipotentiary on the part of the French republic. It is believed, in the ministerial circles, that the definitive treaty will occupy but a few weeks. The greatest difficulties will certainly arise from the variety of considerations to which the discussion of a fair and satisfactory treaty of commerce must give birth.
The rejoicings and illuminations will be universal throughout the metropolis this evening.
The French funds, which had fallen on the 5th to 52 1/2, rose the following day to upwards of two per cent. The Tiers Consolidés left off on the 6th at 54 3/4.
When citizen Lauriston, Buonaparte's aid-de-camp, arrived this morning in St. James's Street, the horses of his carriage were taken out, and he was drawn to his hotel by the populace, with loud acclamations.
The Courier, French frigate, has been captured in the Mediterranean by La Pomone, captain Gower.
Yarmouth, October 2. Arrived this morning the Shannon frigate, with a large merchantman belonging to South-America, which she captured in the North Seas; she is called the Samuel Smith from Batavia, laden with India goods, and bound to Amsterdam; being leaky, on her passage, she touched at America, where she was obliged to leave part of her cargo.

Falmouth, September 30. Sailed the Chesterfield packet, captain Bligh, with the mails of the 2d instant, for Halifax and New-York; passenger Mr. Jones; also the Harlequin, captain Gray, with mails of the 22d instant, for Lisbon.
RIGA, September 13.
A courier dispatch from the chief of brigade, Duroc, passed through this town yesterday, on his way to Paris. He carries a convention concluded between the court of Russia and the French republic, and which is to be signed by M. de Markow as soon as it arrives. It contains the solution of some difficulties which remained between the two powers, and prevented the conclusion of a definitive treaty.
