To the Editor of the Kentucky Gazette.
SIR,
THE delays incidental to the proceedings of our courts of justice, furnish topics for declamation to demagogues in the election fields, on our court yards, and in our legislature. Particular classes of individuals are, in consequence, pointed out to the public as interested in promoting those dilatory proceedings, and as always willing and as always active in promoting them—whether unjustly or not is foreign to the object of the present address. There are other classes of men whom I wish to bring into notice—who, whilst they are active in declaiming against the former, and zealous to point the vengeance of popular opinion against them, are not themselves the less instrumental in causing delay, and in preventing the execution of the decrees and judgments of our courts of justice. Yes—there is a class of men living upon the popular opinion, who ascribe to lawyers all those dilatory proceedings, whilst they are engaged in the legislature in throwing every obstacle in the way of executions founded upon those judgments. I allude to those men who are continually framing and advocating Replevy Laws.
If they believe these dilatory proceedings improper, it is their duty to devise means to prevent them. But when to these they add other obstacles to the attainment of justice, they unmask the cloven foot, and shew that they are not governed by views of public benefit, but those which arise from illicit ambition. Execution has been very properly called the life of the law; for in vain would courts adjudge and decree, if these judgments and decrees were not executed. If the proceedings of courts should be prompt and speedy, equally so should be the proceedings on executions. The party gains nothing by the rapid proceedings of courts, if the proceedings on executions were not equally so. Your courts say after a full and fair enquiry that the plaintiff is entitled to a particular sum from the defendant, that justice prescribes it, that the law commands it; yet the legislature will step in, by Replevy laws, to arrest the progress of that execution which is commanded by the law under the authority of justice.
After my lawyer sues out my writ, files my declaration, and I am barratred for several terms by motions for continuance; after my suit is brought to issue, and I prove that another has property of mine in his possession, for which he has made me no compensation; and after the court and jury upon their oaths declare that I am entitled to the money which I claim; and after all this a writ of error is overruled, or an injunction dissolved—my trouble but merely commences. I have to do what is more tedious, expensive and vexatious. I sue out my execution—my debtor replevies, or gives his bond to deliver the property some time after, or his property is sold at three months credit, perhaps to some secret agent, whom he has appointed to bid for him. I have then to sue out another execution against the purchaser and his security, or debtor and his security; but part of the money is raised; I sue out a third, fourth, fifth, &c. and between the errors or frauds of officers, the ingenuity or fraud of the defendant, I am kept out of my money for years, (I repeat again) after my demand has been substantiated in a court of justice.
Even for any trifling sum for which I may obtain judgment before a magistrate, the procedure is the same and the same delays are permitted. Is it a wonder then that the dilatory spirit of the Kentucky laws should become proverbial, when they seem intended to prevent the recovery of just debts, and to enable debtors to live upon the property of their creditors?
Nor is this all. Whilst I am pursuing these remedies, my debtor has time to make secret conveyances to defraud me, or to remove himself or his property beyond my reach. I have then a suit in chancery to go through with, under every disadvantage arising from the imperfect knowledge which I have of my adversary's concerns.
This is a fair statement of the laws as they are. Experience, which is the instructor of man, will sanction it, and carry the truth of it home to the breast of all. Had our demagogues passed these laws with the avowed design of preventing the recovery of debts, could they have better attained their purpose than they have done under the pretext of doing impartial justice to all! Justice! Those proceedings are a burlesque upon it, and a fraud practised upon the good sense and honesty of the people.
Let us examine the pretexts upon which they have acted, and enquire whether they have the most remote connexion with reason and justice:
We are told that time should be given to the creditor to pay his debts after judgment has gone against him, and with this object, replevins and bonds for delivery of property were invented.
But when A makes a contract with B to pay him a sum of money on a particular day, for property then delivered into his possession, A is fully acquainted with his own situation, knows whether he can raise the money at the time appointed, is aware of the inconvenience which B will be put to if the money is not then paid, and has all that time to look to his promises, and when B calls upon him
at the time appointed, he perhaps will stipulate another day for payment. B again waits, is again disappointed; until at last pressed for money to pay his own debts, debts perhaps contracted upon the faith of A's promises, he commences suit. This will require time. But from the day of suing out the writ until judgment, A has more time to raise the money. But by the course of law this man whom the court says has improperly, perhaps fraudulently, kept B out of his money, is to have further time given him to pay it in. Though A's property is to be protected, B's must not be. He is to suffer inconveniences, and his property sold to support his reputation as an honest man. Thus one suffers by his lenity, and the other gains by his fraud. If the case is hard that A's property should be sacrificed, it is still harder with B. It is certainly more proper that the defaulting or guilty should suffer than the innocent. But here the principle is reversed. The innocent suffers and the guilty gains by his own fraud.
It is time that the people should think of these things, and speak of them.
A CITIZEN.
* The lawyer is merely engaged in the suit from the time of its commencement to the time of rendering judgment—which does not take up one third of the time that elapses between the time of suing out execution and reducing the money to possession.
From the London Sun of May 30, 1803.
FRENCH MEMORIAL.
We this day present our readers a most curious paper, which was presented by Talleyrand to Bonaparte, in the month of December last, advising him against going to war with this country. It proves two very interesting facts—it shews in the first place, that Bonaparte's mind, as long as December last was bent upon war, and it demonstrates to us the dangers we have escaped from the war which is now begun. It moves besides how well acquainted Talleyrand seemed to be, not only with our national character, but with the policy which our government was likely to pursue. How unfortunate that has been to our national department more especially, we believe is now pretty obvious to the most unobservant of our countrymen.
Extract from a Memorial presented to the chief consul, by Talleyrand, the 13th Frimaire, year xi. December 4, 1802.
Talleyrand begins by telling the first consul that the present memorial is merely a copy of one presented to the ministers of Louis XV. after the peace of Aix-la-Chapelle, to dissuade them from that fatal and dishonorable war to France which ended in 1762. He says, "by the ignorance of the ministers, the bribes of Austria, the intrigues of Berlin, the influence of Pompadour, and the weakness of Louis the XV. those strong reasons for peace were not listened to; the consequence is known, but it is not that this in-polic war alone prevented the total ruin of England during the following or American war, and preserved that country from being what, if we are prudent, it sooner or later will be, an invaluable naval and military station of France, and which shall secure us the empire of the world."
Talleyrand then enters into the particulars of the many and irresistible means France, during the peace, possesses "to foment troubles, to spread discontent, to tarnish the honor, to undermine the resources, to weaken the strength, to lull asleep the public spirit, and to cool the patriotism of the inhabitants of the British empire, and by a gradual train of intrigues, insults, demands, insurrections, vexations, murmurs, alarms, and bankruptcy, prepare even the warmest English patriot, to see with indifference, if not with approbation an union with France, which will put an end to all difficulties, and procure Englishmen the same tranquility, honor, and happiness Frenchmen enjoy under the mild but firm government of the first consul!"
"But," says he "powerful as France is upon the continent by its conquests, by its influence, by the vigor of its government, and by the victories of its armies; in regard to England it is not in a better position of strength than in 1755, because, with the knowledge of our means, and with the great abilities of our ruler, we are unable directly to injure England, our navy being more reduced, and our naval officers more ignorant than in 1755, but indirectly, and in time of peace lay aside the infallible foundation for the future subjection of England, France at no former period had so many certain and undoubted underhand methods. A war at present may lessen, if not destroy them; but every year's continuance of peace shall preserve, augment, and fix them."
"Ought we not to wait, at least ten years, before we renew the war with England? till we are in a condition effectually to support our claims, our views, and our plans? The English will do our business, if we permit them. Their religion is pleasure, and their pleasure debauchery. They have plunged themselves into an excess of luxury and intemperance. They have begun to neglect their navy, and to disband their artificers, who go to France, Spain and Holland for maintenance."
"While their individuals squander their riches, the state grows parsimonious, and begins to save in those articles to which it cannot be too profuse. They are even near reducing their
trivial army, and their patriots speak of entrusting, what they call their liberty and property to the valor of militia. What a field is this for our policy! Is it our business to awaken or arouse them from their lethargy? If we do the consequence is obvious—We teach them to believe a real truth, "that they cannot strengthen themselves too much by fear or land." Then an army ceases to be an object of public complaint, of public dislike—and the people begin to think, that as they must have one, it is better to have an army of English than Frenchmen. Then their young nobility will continue to apply themselves to the military profession, and think themselves honored by that profession, in which alone consists the defence and security of their country."
"This may be fatal to us, for the sooner we go to war, the sooner their efficiency will wear off and their ancient spirit and courage revive. They will not then become more wealthy, but they will get more wisdom which is better. The military virtues, and the manly exercises may become fashionable, and the nation, which now seems immersed in debauchery and corruption, may yet think seriously, and be once more what it has often been, the terror of Europe. This is not an unreasonable supposition—they easily glide from one extreme to another—it is their natural temper, and their whole history is one continued proof of it."
"The ashes of La Vande still smoke—it requires only a spark to kindle a civil war in the bosom of our country. The returned emigrants are as yet quiet, but they have not forgotten their former principles, and the wrongs they have suffered from the revolution. Let not a new war give the Bourbons an opportunity to remind them of it. The most dangerous of the Bourbons reside in England; let not the renewal of war permit England to use them, their name and influence to trouble and invade France."
"We command at present all the continental powers; but we know they carry, with disgust and complaint, the fetters we have imposed—Let not a war with England give them occasion to shake them off, and command us in their turn."
"The general weakness and lipineness that forever attend immoderate wealth and luxury, hide from the English the knowledge of their own strength, real power and true interest—Suffer them not to relapse into virtue and understanding. Plunge them not too deep into difficulties, and they will never emerge from folly into real wisdom."
"We have already insulated them from the continental politics—leave them in peace, and the insulation of their trade shall soon follow—We have already made them feared, envied, and hated every where on the continent—leave them in peace, and they shall soon be despised, neglected and unpitied."
"Leave them in peace, and they will soon return to their amusements of elections, races, party and faction—Leave them in peace, and their ministers must be directed by popular clamour, which we can always excite and encourage—Leave them in peace, and their navy will be once more laid up to rot, and their seamen and artificers once more turned over to us, to Spain and to Holland!—Leave them in peace, and the greatest part of their army will soon be reduced and the small remains will soon become a mere militia in pay—Leave them in peace, and we shall not fear the defection of Russia or Prussia, or any of our present allies, which otherwise would much hurt, and perhaps ruin our present system—Leave them in peace, and they will think of schemes for increasing their population, or for making every part of their dominions of real use to every other—Leave them in peace, and most of their nobility and gentry will continue to squander away amongst us their great riches, and augment our resources to enslave their country—Leave them in peace, and before the year 25, France shall command the departments of the Thames, and of the Tweed, as it already does the departments of the Rhine and of the Po."

BALTIMORE, August 5.
Extracts from letters from an American resident at Rotterdam, to a house in this city, received at Salem, by the ship Active direct from Rotterdam.
JUNE 6. "Great-Britain is capturing all the Dutch East and West-India ships.—every finger is a hook, and we have daily accounts of their most valuable shipping being carried in. Bonaparte has begun to threaten Great-Britain with an invasion; but the best informed think a successful invasion impracticable. The seas and channel are covered with British ships of war, and every port in France and Holland is blockaded: so that they cannot get a ship in or out. Mr. Linton the English ambassador is still at the Hague—but re-
port says he leaves there in the morning for some part of Germany. It is said to be Mr. Linton's opinion that the war will have a very long continuance. Should France endeavor to shut the neutral ports of Hamburg and Bremen against the English ships it is conjectured in that case that Russia will come forward in support of their neutrality and protection of Hanover.—She is recruiting her armies and arming and commissioning her ships, and every thing seems to indicate a movement from that quarter. The king of Prussia lately reviewed an army of 30,000 men, which he still keeps in the field. A Russian ambassador has arrived at Hanover, and it is conjectured Mr. Linton is going on to meet him. Every thing wears the appearance of a continental war. The commerce of the United States must flourish if the wisdom of our government keeps us out of the scrape. The Dutch have embargoed four English packets here, at the instance of the French, and imprisoned the agents of the packets."
"Intelligence was received yesterday from Hamburg, that the French had taken possession of Bremen, and were marching to Cuxhaven and Embden—at Bremen they have put barriers, with the word neutrality marked upon them, but the French paid little respect to it."
PHILADELPHIA, July 28.
Yesterday arrived ship Maria, Capt. Calveri, 32 days from Lisbon. Capt. Calveri informs, that a day or two before he sailed, a British packet arrived, the captain of which mentioned the loss of two British frigates, one by capture, the other being drove on shore in a gale. He also mentioned the capture of a French frigate by the British, but the names of either is not remembered.
It was currently reported at Lisbon, that the French had taken and held possession of Bremen.
AUGUST 5. A Gentleman who arrived at New-York on Tuesday night, last, in the schooner Fair-Play, from Guadalupe, informs, that just before he sailed, an English privateer schooner of 2 guns and 25 men, was sent in there by a French privateer schooner of 12 guns and 20 men. Previous to the capture, a severe engagement took place between the two vessels, in which the British had 14 men wounded, including the Captain, who died of the wounds the next day. The French captain was killed the first shot, and 5 men were wounded.
Captain Haley arrived at New-York, in 16 days from Montserrat, informs, that a British packet had arrived there from Barbadoes just as he sailed: by her information was received, that an English squadron had gone from that port with an intention of taking Demerara.

LEXINGTON, AUGUST 23.
WE cannot recollect the number of houses that have been broke open in this place within a few weeks—Scarcely two nights have passed during that time, without some burglary being committed.—Among the number, we notice Capt. Ross's, who lost between 50 and 60 dollars worth of shoes and boots—Mr. Young's, who lost 25 dollars in cash—Mr. Keizer, Mr. Downing, Mr. Hife, &c. &c. The citizens would do well to be vigilant.

The following affliction circumstance lately occurred in the neighbourhood of Morris River, in west New-Jersey.—A woman went in search of a hens nest, and finding a
hollow log supposed the fowl might be in it, and sent a little girl, her daughter, to look for it;—the child no sooner entered the log than she informed her mother the hen bit at her, and would not come off the nest; the mother told the child to pull her off—after waiting a short space, and hearing nothing of the child she called to her but received no answer;—the father of the child being called split open the log and found several Rattle Snakes entwined round the body of the child, and one around her neck, and she had been bitten in several places and quite dead.
We understand by the late accounts from China, that a dreadful action was fought near Hue, in December last, between the Imperial troops and the army of the Tontouche, which terminated in the total defeat of the latter; 12,000 of the insurgents are stated to have been killed, and many were driven into the river and drowned. Previous to this decisive engagement, the Emperor ordered 200 rowing galleys, and 800 gun boats to intercept the vessels belonging to the insurgents, and the day before the action the Emperor saw the whole of the armament in a blaze of fire, consisting of 200 gun boats and fifty galleys. The enemy covered an extent of six miles. The emperor, after this brilliant action, determined to march to Tonquin, with three thousand men, in order to be publicly crowned, and at the same time he issued a general amnesty to all those who should surrender. The object of the rebels was to have seized the King and Queen, and this they had nearly accomplished, by the means of one of the chief Mandarins which attended at the emperor's court: the conspiracy having been found out, this Mandarin, man of letters, named Ong Thong Thew, was instantly beheaded, with eighty-four others. In the above action the emperor fought himself, sword in hand. [Intel.]
PHILADELPHIA, August 6. The accounts from New-York generally agree in stating the existence of a contagious yellow fever in that city—but as usual, there are some contradictions, some letters asserting that there are but one or two cases, others that the alarm had nearly subsided. One fact, however, is published in the N. York papers, the death of Mr. Ogden, of the yellow fever—otherwise the prints of the city are silent on the subject.
NEW-YORK, August 4. A ship arrived at Hamburg on the 27th of May, in ten days from Peterburgh, with accounts that the whole Russian fleet at Cronstadt and Revel was ready for sea, and might soon be expected in the Baltic. We further learn from the Betsey, from Amsterdam, that the Batavian government had offered the first consul of France 8,000,000 to suffer them to remain neutral—that a number of French troops had already entered that city—and that an additional force was hourly expected.
PHILADELPHIA, August 3. Latest from Europe. The possession of Bremen by the French troops (as was confidently asserted in the papers last week) does not appear to be the fact,—By the arrival of the Active at Salem, from Rotterdam, on Thursday last, the latest accounts are received from the European continent. Some interesting articles, from the North, (which we copy from the Salem Gazette of Friday) discover the disposition of affairs in a clearer view, than has been for some time exhibited; and prove that the future operations of the different powers will shortly become highly interesting. The following article (copied from the same paper) is extremely important; from which it may be easily ascertained, that the whole electorate of Hanover is at this time in possession of the French.—
HAGUE, June 4. The Bishoprick of Osnaburg has surrendered to the French by capitulation. On their approach, the Hanoverian garrison evacuated the country. The French in three columns, are in full march for Hanover. They have a park of 50 pieces of artillery. Mr. Liston has demanded his passports. He will leave a charge des affaires.
SALEM, August 2. The British have taken the famous French frigate Ambuscade, which formerly fought the British frigate Boston, off Sandy Hook. At the capture of Tobago, 14 ships and a corvette fell into the hands of the British.
SALAM, August 4. By Capt. Hawes, lately arrived here from St. Peters, we have obtained the
following particulars of the capture of that place by the English: "St. Peters was taken by the frigate Aurora, Capt. Morlen, from St. Johns; a brig, a schooner, and about 15 small boats were all the shipping, in the harbour at the time it was taken; eight brig & 3 schooners failed for the Banks 3 days before it was taken on their second trip. There were not more than 200 men on the island, and not one cannon mounted—no resistance was made by the inhabitants. Two schooners came in from the Banks after the place was taken. No guard was kept on the island to prevent the inhabitants from going away—a number went to Newfoundland in small boats—some came toward the United States in sloops, one of which was taken off Liverpool, and the prisoners sent to Halifax. There was not more than 3000 quintals of fish on shore, none of which was cured—and no goods except salt and stores for the above vessels. There were not more than five small framed houses on the island, with a number of tents made with sails. Capt. Hawes was there eight days after the place was taken—the frigate was still there—and he was informed that when the frigate went to St. Johns, she would take all the prisoners with her, and burn the town."
WEST-INDIA NEWS. We have accounts from Cape-Francois as late as July 15. The blacks were within five miles of the town, and a British squadron before it. There were but 5000 French troops; the fever prevailed among them, and many died daily. Two French 74's were in the harbor ready for sea. One had 300 passengers on board.
HANOVER, May 27. A successful experiment has been made to inundate the environs of Hameln. The most spirited exertions are making to encircle our forces. The force destined to the frontier, exclusive of the cavalry, consists of three trains of artillery of the line, and two of riding artillery, and twenty-four battalions of infantry. An advantageous position will be taken, for the purpose of stopping the progress of the French. All the battalions of infantry are augmented from 500 to 1000 men. [Intel.]
LANSINGBURGH, August 2. The President having issued his proclamation for congress to meet on the 17th October, the states of New-Jersey and Maryland will be unrepresented at the first meeting, as neither of them have yet chosen their members for the next congress. In the state of New-Jersey, no law is in force whereby delegates can be elected; and it is probable, from the peculiar situation of things, that the legislature will not meet until the 25th October next—of course, the state will be unrepresented in the lower house, and have but one member (Mr. Dayton) in the senate.
Alexander Frazier, RESPECTFULLY informs his friends and the public in general that he has commenced business on his own account, in Main street, two doors above Mr. Bodley's office, in Lexington; where he will carry on the CLOCK & WATCH MAKING, as well as the SILVER-SMITH'S & JEWELER'S business in their various branches. Any orders in either of the above lines will be thankfully received and punctiliously executed. Lexington, August 23, 1803. N. B. Old Gold and Silver wanted.

Richardson's, on Saturday last, A BUNDLE OF PAPERS, containing a deed for 428 Acres of land, together with sundry other papers, which cannot be of use to any other person. Whoever has found them, shall be handsomely rewarded by leaving them with the Editor of this paper. JNO. RECTOR. Lexington, 22d August, 1803.
This is to forewarn all persons from trading with John Jones for fifty acres of land, mentioned in a bond on Richard Young, that I have assigned to said Jones, for two hundred and fifty acres—through a mistake I assigned the whole bond, when he had a right to only two hundred acres. There is no doubt with me but he will attempt to trade away the whole bond, for which I will not be accountable. The land is in what is called the Big Bone settlement. Michael Clifford. August 22, 1803.

Strayed or stolen from a waggon in Lexington, on the night of the 6th instant, A Bay Horse, About five years old, about fourteen and a half hands high, trots, racks and canters very well, a small white spot on his neck behind his near ear, and a small knot on one of his fore legs.

Madison County, to wit. To all sheriffs, mayors, sergeants, bailiffs and constables, within the commonwealth of Kentucky: Complaint being this day made to me, Green Clay, a justice of the peace for said county, upon oath, by William Fullilove, constable in and for said county, that THOMAS RICHARDSON, who was committed to the jail of the said county, for not paying fine of twenty dollars, assessed in behalf of the commonwealth for a breach of the peace, by a jury, &c. did on the 7th day of this present month, at the house of John Turners, in the county aforesaid, make his escape from him the said William Fullilove, constable, in travelling to the jail aforesaid, and is now going at large; these are therefore in the name of the commonwealth, to require you and every of you in your respective counties, cities, towns and precincts, to seize and retake the said Thomas Richardson, late of Fayette county, and resident about five miles from Lexington, and him so retaken, to commit to the jail of the county where retaken, and deliver him to the keeper thereof together with this warrant, hereby commanding and requiring the keeper thereof to receive him, the said Thomas Richardson, into the said jail, without bail or mainprize, until he shall be thence discharged by due course of law, of the fine aforesaid of 20 dollars, and cost 18 3/4.

RAN away from the subscriber, living in Lexington, on the night of the 14th instant, BILLEY, a Negro Man, nearly six feet high, of a yellow complexion, rather lean faced with high cheek bones, about 32 years of age, a small scar under one of his eyes—took with him such a variety of cloathing, that it is difficult to describe them. It is expected that he will make for the state of Ohio, and probably for Philadelphia, as he has been heard to say that he thought he could secrete himself in Philadelphia—Any person who will apprehend said slave, and secure him in any jail where I can get him, shall have the above reward, with all reasonable expenses paid if brought home. Oliver Keen. Lexington, K. August 16th, 1803.

FROM THE OILIO.
CLOSE OF EVENING.....In the Country SEE the Sun declining fast, Sinks beneath the dappled west, And the ploughman's labor past, Homeward tends to balmy rest.
From the fields the cattle come Sportive o'er the grassy vales, For to meet their friends at home, Dolly, with her milking pail.
And to meet them Dolly hies, Tripping blythe her pail to fill, While her rustic songs arise In concert with the Whippoorwill.
See rising from the chrysal brook And the flow'ry fragrant vale, Gloomy mists like curling smoke Dark'ning all the verdant dale.
All the warblers of the grove, Cease to sing at close of light, Cale to sing their songs of love Save the lolema bird of night.
Reynard from his covert now, (Where concealed all day he lay) From the hen roof or the mow Steals his squaking prize away.
In the solitary glade, Where the wolves responsive howl, Mournful music now is made By the unharmorous owl.
Now the moon with borrow'd blaze Sheds her feeble glimmering light, When a cloud obscures her rays All's conceal'd in darkest night.
Around the cheerful fire-side Pleasing tales the time beguile, Modest mirth at highest tide Height'ning up the ruddy smile.
When the peasant's supper past Vespers close the pleasing scene, Then to balmy sleep they haste, Contented, Happy, and serene.
DIVERSITY.
A gentleman in distress, lately wrote the following letter to a friend....I am reduced to a single penny....a single shirt ....a single coat....a single glass of table beer....a single sheet to my bed....a sin- gle rap at the door, even of an old ac- quaintance; and have only one con- fession, that I am a single man, and that I have a single friend in you....In these days says our correspondent, this is not a singular case.
