VIENNA, MARCH IQ.
This morning, a courier extraordi
nary, dispatched from Venice, by Car
dinal Herezan, brought official intel
ligence, that the Sacred College, on
the 14th inst. gave a new head to the
Catholic Church in the person of Car
dinal GREGOIRE BARNABE
CHIARAMENTE, bishop of Imola,
of the order of Benedidfins, nephew of
Pius 6th, in honour of whom he has
taken the name of Pius 7th. His elec
tion was nearly unanimous, and many
circumstances concur to render it the
belt which could have been made.
The Cardinal Chiaramonte has given
proofs of his acquirements in Theolo
gical learning, having been for several
years a profelfor in that science; to this
he unites a character and temperament
peculiarly suited to the turbulent times
in which we live. Luring all the trou
bles which Italy hath been lately agitat
ed, and in the midst of the revolution,
he exhibited fleadinefs and constancy,
tempered with a prudent moderation.—
The Court of Russia being much in
terested jn the choice of a new Pope,
the ambassador, Count de Calitcheff
immediately dispatched a Courier ex
traordinary to convey the intelligence
to Petersburg.
Among the honours rendered in
Europe to the memory of the illustri
ous Washington ; those of the Society
Felix Myitis (an association of the
friends of Science and of the Arts eftab
lillied in this city) are the most diltin
ghilhed. On Wednesday the 21st, this
refpedable Society paid its tribute of
reipe& to the Manes of that venerable
man. At the extremity of the hall
was a tomb in form of an Obelifque on
which reded the bust of Washington.
On one fide was an emblematic figure
of the Society crowning him with lau
rels ;on the other, the Genius of Hu
manity, lamenting his death. In front
of the Monument was this infeription,
—“ La Society honore les merites de ce
grand-bomme, dont l' Huviamtepleure la
wort" —The impreflive ceremonial was
opened by a difeourfe, pronounced by
M. J. Kinker, an eminent advocate in
this city A funeral hymn, composed
by M. U. 'j. PiLmbroek, and set to
plaintive mufick, by M. B. Ruloffs, fol
lowed the difeourfe. An Eulogy was
then pronounced by M. Kli^ker, replete
with sentiments worthy ofhis fubjed ;
and delivered with an eloquent sensibi
lity, equally honorable to the Hero and
Statesman, which it celebrated, and to
the intelligent author. All the Ame
rican citizens in the city attended, and
the ceremony was concluded, by a per
tinent difeourfe pronounced by Mr.
Bourne, Consul General of the United
States.

out some hope that the Hessian Fly had
left us ; but to the great disappoint
; ment and mortification of the Farmers,
on the fourth day of the month, the
Wheat was observed to be on the de
cline, and now it is truly melancholy
to look at, being fuller of Fly than ever
known. I never saw it have so dreary
an appearance, and many of us I fear
will not make our feed. I underhand
that those who have sowed what is cal
led the early Wheat, will succeed, there
being no fly in it. If this is true, I
will endeavour to procure some and
sow of that, and pursue the top dressing
as recommended in essays and note on

All the Journals of the North agree
in dating, that the Ruffian army, com
manded by SuWarrow, has been Hop
ped in its march home, and that it will
remain on the frontiers of Poland till
its farther destination is fixed The
lame papers add, that all subjects of
milunderttanding between the Cabinets
of Petersburg and Vienna, have now
disappeared, since the latter has yield
ed to the complaints of the former, re
fpe^ing the proceedings at Ancona.—
Rullia accordingly will furnish to Au
stria the iß,coo men stipulated by the
treaty of alliance : they are to be
commanded by the Prince of Rofem
berg. This corps is independent of that
consisting of 30,000 to be embarked at
Banks of the Rhine, March 18.
Several of tbe German Journals, and particular
ly the Gazette of Hamburg,confinn the intelligence
of General Suwarrow having abfolutel, fallen in
to difgrdee with bisfovereign. He bar been banifb

of tbe army by Prince Repnin.—lt appears that tbe
indifpoftion nvitb nuLdb Suwarrow is said to have
been attached at Gobrin, was merely a political pal
liative.
By the report of the Committee ap
pointed to examine the condition of

LIVERPOOL, MARCH J 3.
VIENNA, MARCH 8.
Mr. President, and Gentlemen of tbe Senate,
Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of tbe House of
Reprefentattoes.
BY a very refreshable Committee from both
Branches of the Legiflaturc, I have been
informed of niy appointment to the Office of
Chief Executive Magistrate for the year ensuing.
Repeated marks of the confidence of my Fel
low-Citizens, have made a deep impression on
my mind j and the present instance is peculiarly
distinguished, as mifreprefeutations of my con
ducl, and assertions which had no foundation in
truth, were induftrioully circulated throughout
the State, previous to the late town -meetings.
That some of my Fellow-Citizens, influenced
by the purest principles, should wilh a change,
was to be expected ; for the State abounds with
men of abilities far beyond toy pretensions—
That some persons, who have been considered as
unfriendly to our National Government, as ad
miniftcred by a WASHINGTON and an AD
AMS, should take extraordinary measures for
preventing my re-election, was not a matter of
furprize—and so far as refers niyfclf, is not a
fubie^ of regret.
Whatever alfertions may be made, or opin
ions entertained, I allure you, Gentlemen, that
the cireumftances of our National affairs —a
strong attachment toour Federal Government —
a firm belief that it has been administered witli
as much integrity and wisdom as we had rcafou
to expe&, or as it ever will be adminiftered—
and that by contributing to its support so far as
opportunity offered, I was promoting the prof
peritv and happiness of my Fellow-Citizens —
are the principal reasons which have prevented
me hitherto from declining their fuffrages.
I now declare my acceptance of the Office,
and am ready to take the oath required b, the
Constitution \
N.Hamp(hire LegtJlatwe
CONCORD, JUNE 7-
tiis Excellency the Governor, escorted by
the Hon. Council, &c. &c. met both Branches
of the Legislature, in the Representatives cham
ber, and declared his acceptance of the Office of
Chief Magistrate, by the following
ADDRESS :
After taking and fabferibing the necessary
Oaths, which were administered by the Presi
dent of the Senate, His Excellency addressed the
two Houses in the following
Every annual Election proclaims the Freedom
of the Government under which we live ; for
such changes of public Rulers are made, as our
Fellow-Citizens think proper. —Honored with
their fuffrages, for the purpose of securing and
promoting their tranquillity and happiness, this
pleasing employment will undoubtedly engage
your candid and deliberate attention : and it
will affoid me great pleasure to unite with you
in measures calculated to promote the public
welfare.
As this is a season of the year when it is not
convenient to have a long session, permit me to
ask your attention, at a period as early as may
be, to such business of a public nature as you
may judge necessary to be done at this tinie.
By an a& of Congress passed March 1,1792,
Electors are to be appointed in each State,
within thirty-four days preceding the firft Wcd
nefday of December next, for the purpose of e
leding a President and Vice President of the
United States. The law refpeding electors,
passed in June 1796, being temporary, it will be
necessary for the Leg:flature to determine the
manner in which Electors on the part of this
State shall be appointed.
As returns of the votes in the several towns
refpedting a revision of the Constitution, were
directed to be made at the present session, it
will be necessary to examine whether the sense
of the people has been taken agreeably to an ar
ticle in the Constitution for that purpose—and
if so, whether their opinions are in favor of, or
against, a revision at this time.
Various have been the contentions among
mankind refpe&ing forms of Government. —
Imperfections are found in all ; —When these
appear, the desire to avoid them is naturally ex
cited; and sometimes States and Nations fly to
other sy stems, and rush on evils far greater than
thofc they have avoided.
Our Country having wifely preferred the
Representative Republican System, as best a
dapted for promoting our prosperity and happi
ness—-having eftablilhed forms of Government
with deliberation in times of tranquillity, and
from experience found them productive of great
good it is our duty to use all proper means for
their preservation.
Perhaps no Nation ever rose in fame and con
sequence more rapidly than the United States,
since the operation of our Federal Government ;
but the divisions which have cxifted for fomc
time past among our Citizens, have undoubted
ly operated very difadvantageouily,and in some
degree disturbed the general tranquillity.
As all forms of Civil Government have de
fects, it would be well for every Citizen, and es
pecially for those who are called to places of
public trust, to contemplate the particular evils
to which our systems are most exposed, that we
may be guarded against them, and preserve our
governments in purity. Easy is it to talk of
Liberty, Equality and the Rights of Man —easy
is the talk to excite jealousies, and sometimes
to introduce anarchy and confufion ; for the
Liberty we posses may be abused for this pur
pofc ; but to support our rights as Citizens,
and maintain order and good Government, is
a talk much more difficult.
Mr. President, and Gentlemen of the Senate,
Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of
Representatives,
HAVING accepted the Office of Chief Exe
cutive Magistrate for the year eufuing, I
now meet you with that diffidence, as it refpe&s
my abilities for rightly difeharging the duties of
the Office, which has heretofore affeded me on
similar occasion at the fame time,with all
that confidence which arises from a confeioufnefs
that the prosperity and happiness of my Fellow
Citizens has been the governing motive of my
conduct.
In order to support a Republican Govern
ment in its purity, the Citizens mull be well in
formed ; Morality and Religion are indispensa
bly necessary ; virtuous principles should pro
duce an obedience to the Laws, which is ofo
tajoed by force in other Governments.
