DIED at Fort Stoddert. 0tober2o,
1804, 'Ephraim Kirly,ct. of Litchfield,
' in this ftate. He was interred with the
honors of war, and other marks of refpect
and efteem to which,-as a man, an offi
cer, and a citizen, he was eminently en
titled. ' Previous to his deith, Coh-Kirby had re-
ceived a further proof of the confidence of
the general government, by an appoint
ment as a judge in the Orleans territory.
His char after as a'profeflional man is well
known in Connecticut j and the citizens
of this ftate will,, with unceafin( regret,
. lament the tofs of an uniform and inflcx
libIepatrlotand ..jhe.fi.rm unlhskfcn advo-

Wererwe difpofed to adopt the modern
and falhionable mode of appealing to the
pillions of the people, we might call on
them to come forward and open the grave
we might call on them to Uncover the
head honored witlrfcars recelvc.l.in de
" fence ot our country. But appealing
from the language of paftion, to the cooler
decifionsof rcaton, they will discharge
tliejult tribute of refpeci to the departed
futnot, who, while living was cquallj? be,
eved by luilricndt, and rcfpccled by his
enenves.
The following is oil extract of a teller from
Dr. John St!lj ialed Natchitochesy Xoiem
ber 6. '
" The Negroes that rose here about two
weeks ago, and eloped to the neighlxjuring
Spauish Province toobtain their freedom,
agreeable to the annunciation of the com
mandant, were pursued, art taken and brought
back, and we hope a btop is put to any fur
ther' attempts; but most of the negroes on
Red River were about moving. It is posi
tively ascertained that they were excited to
it by Spanish emissaries,, one of whom was
taken with the negroes, and two others are
prisoners at this place, their guilt being
clcf.rly proved.
" Two Americans have lately been mur
dered by two Spaniards on the road leading
from Appalu&a to Nacadoches.' The name
of one of the murdered is Owens,- formerly
of Kentucky, the Spaniard slashed him, and
took his saddle-bags which contained consi
derable money, and hit horse, and made his
escape to Nicadoches; he was seen with
Owens's horse and saddle bigs they were
before nen travelling together, and the
Spaniard's horse was found ttanditKj by
Owens a dead body.
. Tlic particulars of te other murder are
not so well ascertained t it is only a few days
since it happened. The murder of House
Andcraon and Knox ha) been corroborated
by sonic other circumstances aince the first
account of It." ' '

ift.Thatby the mere efTedls of there

their right, , and the, land in qucftion be
came the property of the State.
2d. That by the 25hfeclion of the de

are declared to be the property of thepeo
pie of this State to be held t"y t lu m in
fovereientv. "thereby deftroyinL' the plain-
lifts right.
3d. That the plaintiffs right, if not be-
-fore taken away or loft, was forfeited and
.dtvelted by Jiha confiication and entry laws
ot this State.
4th. That the plaintiffs are aliens and.
therefore cannot inherit lands in this State.
th. That the plaintiffs are barred of
recovery by the zcls of liim'tation.
ihe points mane by trie. piamtiitscoun-.
fel were intended to meet the objection to
a recovery arHing out of the points., relied
on by defendants.
It was faid by them that the revolution
tad no etfeci on private right .; that it oc-ca'fior-ed
only a change o' fovercignty in
he country : that the 25th article of the
Bill of Rights, which fpeaks of the pro-
perty of the foil. being. one atihe.effcnt:aL
rights of the collective body ot the people
had relation only to territorial rights, and
did not affecl the title of Earl Granville;
that in 1744, feveri eighths of the Lords
Proprieiors of the Carolinas having lif.
pofed of their rights and invnunitics to
tne King, the Gtanvtlle family retained
one eighth (hare only, and that divefted of
all its fovcreign appendjges; that they
therefore could be confidcred only as com
mon fubjc&s, whofe property was not af.
feded by the revohition. With refpeft to
the confifcation laws, thy were filent rc
fpe6lingl!iis property ; theeftats of po
thers had been ConhTcaied by name, Hut
this had not been touched : That the law
providing for theentry of lands had, it
was acknowledged,' been confidcred as ma
king this land liable to entry ; but thouph
this had been the guier.il opinion, it was
no proof it was a corrtft one. They
contended it was not, as ihe land had been
already granted, and all granted land is
eip'refsly excepted by this law. Hut ftfp
poling this property had been forfeited ti
t her. by the revolution, or the confifcation
laws, the State had never become feixed of
it by any office found, and therefore could
not legally grant it.-
With refpeft to alienage, Uwas infilled
that as Lord Carteret (tn: prefent plain
tiff) was born a fubjeel of Great. Britain,,
he cou'.d not become an alien to hit fcl-low-fubjicls,
by the revolution-; and as
they cnfidtrcd the grant of the land ia
quediou as void, having been already
granted by the King to the plaintiW, tlie
aft of limitation could not operate in its
favour ' .
