# Proclamation 7380

Delivered on 17 November 2000.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Our families are perhaps the strongest influence in our lives. Anyone who grows up in a strong, nurturing family, grounded in the values of love and responsibility, will have a distinct advantage in achieving the most important tasks of adulthood—living fully, working productively, contributing to society, and forming one's own strong, stable family.
Our Nation, too, draws its strength and character from America's families, so as citizens we must do everything we can to support their well-being and self-sufficiency. Over the past 8 years, my Administration has strived to create an economic and social climate where families can flourish. We have strengthened the economy; enacted a higher minimum wage; expanded tax credits for working families; created greater access to higher education, quality health care, and affordable child care; and, with passage of the Family and Medical Leave Act, made it easier for working adults to take leave to care for an ailing family member without putting their jobs at risk. We have also been successful in moving thousands of children from temporary homes in foster care to permanent families where they can grow and flourish.
We are fortunate to be members of a larger family as well, composed not only of our immediate relatives, but also of our neighbors, colleagues, communities, and fellow citizens. As members of this extended family, we must learn to appreciate the value and diversity of other families' traditions; we must reach out to help those families who are still in need; and we must share responsibility for the care and development of all our Nation's children. In this season of Thanksgiving, let us be grateful for the knowledge that America is a Nation of families, standing together to make our country a better place in which to live and to make the future a brighter one for our children.
Now, Therefore, I, William J. Clinton, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 19 through November 25, 2000, as National Family Week. I call upon Federal, State, and local officials to honor American families with appropriate programs and activities. I encourage educators, community organizations, and religious leaders to celebrate the strength and values we draw from family relationships, and I urge all the people of the United States to reaffirm their own family ties and to reach out to other families in friendship and goodwill.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-fifth.

# Proclamation 7381

Delivered on 17 November 2000.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
We have much to be grateful for this Thanksgiving Day. Our Nation is free, prosperous, and at peace. The remarkable growth in human knowledge and technological innovation offers real hope for defeating the age-old enemies of humanity: poverty, famine, and disease. Our dynamic economy continues to generate millions of new jobs, and, as wages rise and unemployment falls to its lowest level in more than a generation, millions of American families are sharing in the bounty of this great land for the first time.
Sharing in God's blessings is at the heart of Thanksgiving and at the core of the American spirit. At Plymouth in 1621, the Pilgrims celebrated their first harvest in the New World thanks to the generosity of their Native American neighbors. In return, the Pilgrims invited these tribal members to share in their harvest festival. At Thanksgiving this year and every year, in worship services and family celebrations across our country, Americans carry on that tradition of giving, sharing not only with family and friends, but also with those in need throughout their communities.
Every generation of Americans has benefited from the generosity, talents, efforts, and contributions of their fellow citizens. All of us have been enriched by the diverse cultures, traditions, and beliefs of the millions of people who, by birth or choice, have come to call America their home. All of us are beneficiaries of our founders' wisdom and of the service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform. While Americans are an independent people, we are interdependent as well, and our greatest achievements are those we have accomplished together.
As we celebrate Thanksgiving, let us remember with gratitude that despite our differences in background, age, politics, or race, each of us is a member of our larger American family and that, working together, there is nothing we cannot accomplish in this promising new century.
Now, Therefore, I, William J. Clinton, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 23, 2000, as a National Day of Thanksgiving. I encourage all the people of the United States to assemble in their homes, places of worship, and community centers to share the spirit of fellowship and prayer and to reinforce the ties of family and community; to express heartfelt thanks to God for our many blessings; and to reach out in gratitude and friendship to our brothers and sisters across this land who, together, comprise our great American family.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-fifth.

# Royal Naval Biography/Hanwell, William

Layout 2
WILLIAM HANWELL, Esq [Post-Captain of 1798.]
This officer obtained his first commission about the year 1793; and in 1798? we find him serving as senior Lieutenant of the Sheerness 44, bearing the broad pendant of Commodore James Cornwallis, on the African station.
There is a privilege existing, from time immemorial, which is not enjoyed on any other station than that of the coast of Africa: it is that of the next officer giving himself the rank of his deceased superior; and which self-appointments have ever been held good by the Admiralty. Commodore Cornwallis died of a fever July 31, 1798; when Lieutenant Hanwell, who succeeded him in the command of the Sheerness, gained two gradations of rank, which, on his arrival in England, was confirmed by a post commission, dated Dec. 29, 1798. We know of no other living instance of such a fortunate advancement in the navy.
Early in 1810, Captain Hanwell obtained the command of the Grampus, a 50-gun ship; and on the 26th Oct. in the following year, he was tried by a court-martial upon a charge of repeated drunkenness and unofficer-like conduct, preferred against him by Lieutenant John Chesshire. The Court agreeing that the charge was not proved, acquitted him; observing, that the prosecution appeared to be malicious and vexatious. He subsequently commanded the Dictator 64; and during the ​latter part of the war superintended the depot for prisoners, of war at Norman Grogs.
Captain Hanwell married, in 1800, Miss Hanwell of Mixbury, near Brackley, Northamptonshire.

This officer passed his examination about April 1808; obtained his first commission on the 28th July 1809; served for some time on board the Ocean 98, Captain Robert Plampin; and for upwards of four years, as first lieutenant of the Termagant 20, successively commanded by the late Captains John Lampen Manley and Charles Shaw, on the Mediterranean and East India stations.

# Royal Naval Biography/Morris, George

Layout 2
GEORGE MORRIS, Esq. [Post-Captain of 1812.]
Towards the close of the French revolutionary war, this officer commanded the Lady Charlotte hired armed brig, in which vessel he captured l’Espoir and le Petit Pirate, small privateers, between the Start Point and Portland: he also retook several British merchantmen. His commission as a Commander bears date April 29, 1802.
In Sept. 1803, Captain Morris was appointed to the Penguin, of 18 guns. On the 17th Mar. 1804, being off the bar of Senegal, he chased and drove upon it the French privateer schooner la Renommée, a vessel of large dimensions, mounting 12 long 6-pounders and 2 nines, with a complement of 87 men. The surf running high at the time, and continuing to do so, he had no opportunity of destroying her till the 24th. At this time she had shifted her position, from the efforts apparently of two other armed schooners, which, since the preceding evening, had dropped down to the mouth of the river, and were now within 400 yards of her. Standing as close in as the shoalness of the water would admit, the Penguin opened a fire upon the three vessels; but, although shot were exchanged for an hour and a half, the brig: could not get near enough to force the other two schooners to retire up the river: Captain Morris, therefore, yielding to the entreaties of his first Lieutenant (Mr. Williams), despatched him in the jolly-boat, with permission to attempt the destruction of her aground; a service which was executed in the ablest manner, and without any loss on the part of the British.
In 1806, we find Captain Morris commanding the Elk brig, on the Jamaica station, where he captured and ​destroyed several French and Spanish privateers. In the following year, he was successively removed to the Elephant 74, and le Renard sloop of war. On the 5th Dec. 1808, being then in the Magnet brig, off Bornholm, he intercepted the Paulina Danish privateer, of 10 guns and 42 men.
The Magnet being destroyed by the ice, near Malmo, Jan. 11 , 1809, Captain Morris returned to England with despatches from Sir R. G. Keats; and was shortly afterwards appointed to a command in the Lynn district of Sea Fencibles; from which period we lose sight of him until his promotion to post rank, Feb. 1, 1812. he at present enjoys a pension of 300l. per annum for wounds, but when or where he received them, we are not able to state.

# Royal Naval Biography/Morrison, Isaac Hawkins

Layout 2
ISAAC HAWKINS MORRISON, Esq. [Post-Captain of 1814.]
Entered the navy under the patronage of the late Isaac Hawkins Browne, Esq. M.P. for Bridgenorth, co. Salop, D.C.L. and F.R.S. We first find him serving as an ​admiralty midshipman on board the Gannet brig, Captain Edward Bass, during the peace of Amiens. He was made lieutenant May 1, 1804; advanced to the rank of commander June 10, 1808; and appointed to the Achates brig, of 16 guns, Mar. 31, 1813.
On the 30th Sept. following, two of the enemy’s large frigates, le Weser and la Trave, sailed from the Texel, on a cruise off the Western Islands; but on the 16th Oct. a violent gale of wind dismasted both, and separated them from each other. The capture of le Weser has been related at p. 276 et seq.
On the morning of the 21st Oct., the Achates discovered la Trave upon her weather beam, immediately made sail in chase, and, as soon as she had fore-reached sufficiently, wore and stood for her. At 7-50 a.m. she gallantly engaged the frigate in passing, and received in return a fire that much injured her sails and rigging. At 8 a.m., a large ship was discovered bearing down. Captain Morrison instantly hauled towards her, and made the private signal; but the stranger, instead of answering it, tacked from him and hauled close to the wind. In the mean time la Trave had bore up to the eastward. At noon, then in lat. 46° 37' N. long. 7° 26' W., the Achates was again near enough to exchange shot with the enemy, and continued engaging in an advantageous position on her quarter, until about 8 a.m., when dark and squally weather concealed her from view. In this very spirited, as well as skilful, attack. Captain Morrison had the good fortune not to lose a man; the French frigate had two seamen wounded, and was soon afterwards captured by the the Andromache, Captain George Tobin.
On the 26th Feb. 1814, Captain Morrison witnessed the surrender of la Clorinde French frigate, of 44 guns and 360 men. His post commission bears date June 7, 1814.
This officer is at present Inspecting Commander of the Revenue Coast Guard service, Tralee district, Ireland. He ​married, July 16, 1823, Louisa Adams, daughter of John Powell Smith, of Upper Berkeley Street, Portman Square, Esq.

Lost an arm during the French revolutionary war; obtained the rank of lieutenant in 1802; commanded the boats of the Merlin sloop, Captain Edward P. Brenton, at the destruction of a French privateer, near Gravelines, Oct. 27th, 1803; and was presented with the Order of the Sword, by Gustavus Adolphus IV., for his distinguished services on the Baltic station, in Aug. 1808. His promotion to the rank of commander took place on the 19th of the ensuing month.
In consequence of interesting himself too arduously in the election contests of Grantham and Barnstaple, in which Sir Manasseh Lopez was also concerned, this officer latterly became greatly embarrassed in his circumstances, and was obliged at length to seek relief under the Insolvent Debtors’ Act. He was accordingly committed to the King’s Bench Prison, on the 11th Mar. 1824; and he died there, of apoplexy, on the 22d May following.

BALGUDAR.
Balgudar is a small village to the north of the Halohar river, and contains a curious and large four-faced lingam, besides several other statues and fragments.
# Report of a Tour through the Bengal Provinces/Bathani Hill

BATHANI HILL.
A short way south of Gowror is Bathan or Bathani hill and village. The hill is a small conical one and quite isolated; it is about 5 or 6 miles to the west of the entrance of the valley of old Râjagriha. Buddhist legends say that Buddha, travelling from Kapila to Râjgir before attaining the Buddhahood, entered Râjgir by the east gate, and, having collected alms, went to the Banthawa hill to eat the food he had collected. The hill is named Pandhawa (Spence Hardy, p. 163) in the Ceylon records, and Banthawa in the Siamese records (Alabaster, p. 136), both names bearing a close resemblance to the name Bathan of the solitary hill noticed. But against this identification is the distinct statement made in both the Burmese and Siamese versions, that Buddha left the city of Râjgir by the same gate he had entered, viz., the east gate (Spence Hardy does not say anything regarding the gate by which he left the city). If, as stated, Buddha left the city by the east gate, which could only have been the one leading through the long ravine to the Panchâna river, near Gidha Dwâra, Bathan could hardly have been the hill he went to to eat his meal, as it would have been a distance not of 6 but of over 18 miles by that circuitous route. I content myself by simply noting the close similarity of name and the objections to its identification with Bathawa hill.
There is mention in the Mahábhárata, ch. 20, ver. 30, of a hill named Gorath. Bhima, Arjuna, and Krishna, when going to Girivraja to slay Jarâsandha, came, as before noticed, viâ Vaisâli, and, crossing the Ganges and the Son, arrived in the kingdom of Magadha; then "ascending the Goratha hill, ​they saw the beautiful capital of the Magadha kingdom." The names "Goratha" and "Bathan" are both connected with cattle, and as there is no hill near enough to Râjgir besides the Bathan hill, the inference is obvious that the hill named Goratha in the Mahábhárata is the same as the present Bathani hill. I accordingly consider that the ancient name of the hill was "Goratha," meaning cattle-ear. "Bathan" in Hindi means a cattle-pen, a place where cattle are kept.
