THE LOUISVILLE GAZETTE. VOL. I.J GEORGIA, LOUISVILLE: Pubhliicd every Tuefday, by AMBROSE DAY, at 3 Uoilais pe» arm. payable half yearly. from the Aurora. BRISTOL, Tutfdy, Sep'ember 24, ’99. A tranfaftion has taken in the neigh bout hood of this town, within a few days lh»t calls for the earned attention of the public. If the military is to be made fuperior to the civil authority, the ceremony of re pealing the cpnftitutipn outrht at lead to precede the deplorable change; while the conftuution remains it fhould at lead be rel pt&ed by thofe who are faid to be paid under its authority, and for the odenfible purpofe of fupponing it. A peifon of the name of John Train, employed as a labouiing m n bv Mr. Lazallictc of this j town, on T hurfday night lad, {1 lea watch from his employer tmd feveral o her a tides, with irhLh he fl.d to the Gamp rear this town, and there enlided. The thief was traced to that place, information was laid befo ea magillrate and a warrant iifued for his apprehenfjon. A civil officer was difpatched with | an affidant a perfon to identify The thief to the civil officer ; he was found in the camp and the I watch upon him. The civil O'ficer thought it a matter of j propriety to inform the officer in whofe company the culprii had enlilled that he had arreded the mm. The authority was demanded and the warrant pro duced. 1 he warrant was con demned w th expreffions that we do not think proper to repeat. 3s the matter will be brought hefoie the court ; but the thief taken from the civil officer, Ue civil officer forced out | Cam P> a°d the pet funs j V ‘ h “* in kicked and mal-trcatcd I ln a niolt indecent manner, * he injured perlons there* u ? 0n applied for a dates wa»- ; 1 nt was iflued againll t he | !

From a Ccrrejpondcnt . I am no orator is Erutus is. To fl y men's blood ; I only right on s I itll y.u that which yuu you: loves do know. Shaklspeare. Whether the diifo’ution of the meeting at London, of the boaid of cornmiflioners on Ame rican claims, dated in the public ptints, has taken piace we can not fay, but that it either has happened, or ve y loon mud happen, is a rnaitei of ablolute Certainly. And where ere we then ? Cr did ever mortal hear of fuch another mifciable b’undering tranfaflion, as this of fay's ? colomon laid that there was nothing new under the fun. I D j Rut ii his majeily had iivecl to fee the Bntifh r eaty he would , J | not h ve denied the originality of its men: ; for certainty n i | ther in the woild above, nor in the enroll beneath, nor in the waters under the earth, was 1 luch another negociation ever ' n heard of. In this very outfet, Mr. Jay went cver head and ears in infatuation or fomething woTe. He broke his infl uclicns . The thing which he b ought home, and for winch he got thirty feven thoufand good ho ned milled dollars, this thing, j we lay h no more refcmblancc to his inftmbfions, than Mr. No 1 Brilijh Debtor has to Demos thene l , or Cicf»o. Mr. Waffiington was fo con fcious of the gla/L'g .d’fobecli ence of Mr. }av, that, in o der to conceal it he refused to Jet the houfe of repnTiept itives fee T the inJlruUicxi . • * * t ‘ lead th L i * the on! y imaginable mafon tha» could ever be iguefled for his refufal. 1 he inflrufl'cns accoid in?ly remained incognito, till ih< jwiher of this a tide gave them to the worH, along with I lam 1* ion’s reitifictte jobbing corr I pondence, in this hidorv of die' 1796. 1 he authenticity; of that publication has never j been conceded bv any paity, and it throws a blaze o lipriu upon the genuine cfutadlcr ol Mr. Jay. I In older to bring Biitain upon he r knees before us, we had I only to have laid an embargo toi an hundred and twenty days Bv th.it time flour would have Been at frity dollars per band in he Brinfh Wefl-lndies. 1 he molt 1 rr t frag able evidence of this fa£l is g ven in the book juft mentioned. i V\ hen cur ambafTador went ! to England, the french were ini the mid ft of the dieadlul cam-1 paign of 1794. Before the treaty had been figned by Jay, j the republicans were on the point of conquering Pollard. If he had waned only for three • jonfhs longer, the confternaiion j p in England by the s reduction of the Dutch wciddi have e. fured any term* that lie j could aflc. By the way Mr. Jay’s intima tions forbade him to hgn any treaty, good, bad , or indijfe'tht. He was only to fend it home, lor con fide ration here. In 1 he hiflory of 1796, we foretold the veiy thing that h*s happened, viz. that the brinfh never would pa\ for (hTe piia* cies, which have been going on without intermiffion for more than fix years. Colonel the fl »te of Virginia, was one of the A me rican commiffioners for fettling the old Bniifh del ts; a d he laid two years ago, that the cla ms of the American mcr chants never wculd be pod b\ a ngland. 'I he cori m Ihoneis told him that they would he kept as a fd off ag'ip fl the old Hr 1 rifh d bts ; and this was, on the colonel’s authority, fitted in the book above men ior ed When are we going lo ha' n this ahfurd and ruinous tuaty ? u commerce has been p undered to the amount of prob biy thir ty mi-lions of collars t y the Bdtifh Algerines Inft ad o( any compenfau n by the treaty, all which has )et been paid to the merchants of this country, wou'd not come to th - <*ne hun dredth part of a cent per pound while t ic fame bargain obliges us to pay fifty or an bun red millions of old Batidi ot width a sreat proror ion h 3 been paid already ; for lo it turns out ! A Roman corful had rnre made an ignominious treaty with the Samniffs Ihe Komars br ke i , I’hr\ tied their con lul’s hands behind him, if we forget no , and in that pic kie tent him as a picient to ihe con querors. If Mr. [ay would make a ftcond nip to hrgland, and lake bis tieaty in Ins pocket, America could thrive well enough, without either the one or the other, Wc defy all mankind to name a fing’e advantage that / mem a has t ver obtained by this deplo rable negociation. I*y the tic - tv as [ay figncd it, it appears that this gt'dt flntrjman had for got that Ci'Wn grous in iheUnned Stars !
