THAT commodious and ele

Known as the feat of H> Excellency the
late Governor Benhing Wentworth
This spacious Mention House
is only two miles fror Forilmouth Pa
rade by land; and tc : .'rthird of that
iftance by Water. It is finifhed in a
dyle of superior exce'F Re, and has a
c>mmanding view of the Ocean and Har
bour froha the Ent, and the adjacent
country from the fouth and weft — ; Vnd
ifers a fine retreat for the Man of Afflu
ence in the warmer months of tumrner,
or a lucrative one to the Country Gen
deman who would make / griculture his
purtuit/ r - }
It is surrounded by 100 acres of
mowing, tillage, and paflure LAND;
two excellent Orchards, well fiocked with
trees yielding the finell flavoured apples,
equal to thole brought fr,m the foutbern
markets, an extensive Kitchen Garden,
producing a great abundance of vegeta
bles, arid a rich variety of the choicest
Iruits ; & beautiful Flower-Gardens con
taining the mofi delicate vines. Ihrubs
and flowers. I The land enclosed with
strong well built stone-walls. Attached
to the House is a good Wharf with
convenient Lores thereon; a fine large
otable; Co ch-House; Cyder-House;
Waffi-Houfe; Wood-Houle, and other
convenient out-buildings; with a pump
and well of excellent water—The land is
now un,'er high cultivation, and may oc
cafiondly be enriched with greateafefrom
rhe large beds of mufejes around the
Thore. Toe lovers of Angling may be
gratified us the waters around the beach
and wharf abound with small fifh.
From the excellence of the fruits
and the facility with which they are rear
ed, no doubt can be entertained bur that
with proper managemen/ it might nearly
supply the Portsmouth, market, an obfra
of importance when it is known how lit
tle attention is paid by the Newhampthire

rendering it perfeaiy convenient! <

Notice to Debtors.
A Maid zvanted, «„!y to k^e
Gentlemen of the Council,
Mr. Speaker—and Gentlemen rs th;
Hcufe of Reprefentativer,
IN a farmer communication which I
Had the pleasure to make to the legis
lature, I took the liberty to recommend
a particular Attention to our agriculture
and internal manufactures,
The general peace, which, since
that address, has taken place in Eu
rope, would, it was to be expeded, oc
casion an elTential alteration in our
external enterprize and foreign com
mercial -connexions. During the
war, which peculiarly affected the man
ufafturing and navigating powers of
Europe, the Rate of neutrality, which
these United States wifely adopted,and
Readily.pursued, had increased beyond
our most sanguine expectations, the
quantity of our Gripping, and extended
mod advantageouffy our carrying trad€
to all nations. Should peace be con
tinued, the cafewill now be altered.—
The various nations of Europe, will re
fame their wonted share in navigation
andcommerce : and from that circum
stance, our carrying bufmefs will pro
bably be much contracted. In a Rate
of general peace in Europe, we mull
expect tp enjoy, in our commercial in
tercourse with foreign countries, only
the common rights cf other independ
ent nations :—We can claim no privi
lege of commerce in foreign ports, oth
er than what may arise from terms of
particular treaties or conventions form
ed with individual nations with whom
we seek commercial connexions.
Under these circurnhances, and with
these erpeAaHons. will it not be wife in
us to apply ourselves peculiarly to in
ternal improvements in agriculture,
manufactures and arts :—more espe
cially to encourage a cultivation of our
domestic manufactures, of wool and
flax, which have ' heretofore been prac
tifed with' profit and success. This at
tention will prove a resource against any
diminution of foreign employments
which may be experienced, and
will render us less dependent on for
tJgn supplies. It will also afford u 3
the means of internal intercourse with
our tifter States ; thereby extending our
coaling connexions on our own conti
nent, and producing a mutual inter
change with each other, of the produce
.of the several slates. As an addition
al inducement, our Indu'ftiy applied to
these objects, will be beneficial- by giv
ing employment to our younger as well
as other hands ; and in proportion as
we can find useful and profitable em
ployment at -home, producing easy
means cf subsistence, we shall more and
more induce our increasing population
to remain within our own State, rather
than to seek continually distant means
of support, by fettling on the new lands
of neighboring States. In aid of these
ideas,our means of internal intercourse,
have become more convenient, not only
among ourselves, but with our filler
States, from the facility of transporta
tion, improved roads arid inland com
munications ; while our commercial in
tercourse with dittani nations,may prob
ably be growing more and more pre^
carious and uncertain; from a variety
of intervening cireumffantes ; more el
pecially fi om their faperior attachment
to their own peculiar interests, and a
jealousy overtheir own particular na
tionalrights and employments. ~
SPEECH
Os His Excellency Gay. Trumbull,
to both Hrrafes of the Legislature of
Connecticut, on Friday, May 13.
—o—
I beg leave further to fuggeft,whether
this State might not with advantage,
pay greater attention than has hitherto
been done to tod fifhery. Some few
individuals of our towns, I am told,
have praAifed this employment to coa^
fiderablc profit. bur feWcoaß Rtuatioii
is favourable to this tufnefs. The ne
cefiary provisions are raifedby ourselves
and are plenty. Vessels for the ptupofe
are easily built from our own materials,
by our own workmen. Our people are
capable as any other for this hardy pur-1
foiGh Their industry and activity are
doubtlefsequaf to those of our neigh
bors', And experience will be gained,
by pra&iGe. It is an healthy and ufe
ful employment, yielding a wholefonre
and valuable food ; and is closely con
ue^ed with commercial enurprize.
And, as a valuable nursery for seamen,
it would prove essentially febfervient to
the naval hrengih and defence of the
•United States. From an opinion of
their real importance, I mention these
things, and leave their improvement to
the wifdonr of the legiflatura, and the
good sense and diferetion of the people-
It gives me pleasure 'to be able to
congr itulate you gentlemen, and our
cortrtitutn^s, ^i the very eligible htua~
tion of our public affairs, and the pleas
ing appearances ofour private interests.
The territorial deputes which have fab
filled between us and our fitter Rates of
New-York and Pennfylvaniq, are hap
pily terminated. A large tract of land
has been fecur^d for our benefit, with
consent of the United States. The
sale. of this territory has produced a
valuable fund for the support of our
schools and the education of cur youth-
Our Statedebt, which, during our late
revolutionary war had been much accu
mulated, is now extinguished. And
our finances are in a prosperous Rate ;
Sufficient, with the aid of finall taxes,
for all the expellees and exigencies'of
government. Our people are indußri
ous, and fuccefsful in their general pur
suits. Their growing wealth appears
in their' multiplied improvements in
agriculture, buildings, fences and other
cultivations ; exhibiting altogether a
State of advancement beyond our most
sanguine calculations. With these
pleasing appearances, arising from the
blessing of heaven on a wife and indus
trious improvement cf a Rate of peace
and tranquility, under a mild and hap
py constitution and government, what
sensations of gratitude and praise Should
be excited in our hearts, towards the
great author of all our favors :—And
what hopes may we not indulge, if we
prove faithful in our own conduß, that,
in the future course of Providence,many
blessings are Rill in (lore, for the further
improvement and enlargement cf this
hitherto highly favored land.
At the opening of our session of the
General Assembly in May lad, I sub
mitted to the consideration of the legiC
lature, th| expediency of providing
some more effectual mode of enforcing
on the undertake! s, the neceffar y and re
quisite repairs of our numerous turn
pike roads. The suggestion appeared
to gain the attention of the Legisla
ture ; but no remedy, adequate to the
evi,scomplair.ed cf, has yet been matur
ed. I'he fabjedt hill possesses so much
importance, that I cannot refrain from
expressing a wish, that its consideration
may be resumed at an early day of our
present session. While we are attempt
ing improvemements to our public
roads, by granting corporate rights to
individual undertakers, we Ihould not,
by a neglect of the necessary control
over their exertions, leave the traveller
exposed to improper impositions and
exadions.
No tranfmifHon of the laws of the U.
States, paired after the 3d March 1801,
having been made for uinrinution to
the people of this State, and many en
quiries having been hiade reflecting
them, I wrote to some of our members
in Corigrefs, durihg their lad session,
requeuing them to obtain and forward
to me, the reasons for this omitiUn.—
The Secretary of State informed them
that accidents had intervened to pro
duce this defect ; but gave them assur
ance, that in future, this neglect fhoutd
be corrected. Since this information,
two boxes of the United States laws
have'arrived, and the books are ready
for distribution agreeably to a resolu
tion of the General Assembly for that
purpose.
Letters from the President of the U-
States, and from the Governor of Mjf
fachufetts, which will now be 'commu
nicated, will gain your particular attend
tion.
I pray yon, gentlemen, to place con
fidence in my difpofhion to co-operate
with you in all such measures as may
be judged to be conducive to. fc bell
good of the State.
