At 5 o’clock, both branches being joined
in the Reprefentatives’ chamber, a joint
committee waited on, and escorted his Ex
cellency the Governor in ; and after having
the neceflary oaths of qualification adminis
tered by the Hon. Gen. Shepherd, President
of the Senate, his Excellency addrefled both
branches in the following patriotic : .
Fellow Citizens of the Senate, and
‘ of the House of Representatives,
ON this annual meetingof the legislature,
it affords me much pleasure that I can
with propriety congratulate you on the
- Union, and harmony so generally prevail
) ir;§ throughout the State—but while this
affords great fatisfation, and will be 2 firong
reflource in any event, the circumitances of
our national affairs appear alarming in a
high degree. . : ‘
When I was firt honored with an ap
pointment to the Office 1 now hold, the
conduft of a foreign nation towards our
own, was such as to induce an apprebenfion
that resort to arms might become unavojda
bly neceflary.—ln the answer of the legil
lature, to my address at that time, will be
- found the sentiments which then prevailed
in this ftate,—The government of the
- United States, ardently desirous of peace,
~ attempted, and finally accomplished a treaty
by which existing difficulties were adjusted,
~and war avoided. |
Since that peridd another foreign nation
- with whom we were more particularly con
~ neéted by treaties, and whol% prosperity and
- bappinels was desired by almost every citi
zen of the United States, has committed
violent depredations on our navigation and
commerce=—lts agents and some of its citi
zens, who have been heretofore treated with
much indul%encc and attention in our coun
try, have insulted the government and en
dcavored to make a {eparation between it
and the people, by exciting suspicions and
Jealousies as to the views and ‘meafures of
those who have been appointed to adminis
ter It. $
- Suill desirous of peace and harmony, an
attempt was made for accommodation by
~ fending a worthy minister to that country—
- He was not received—Two other pctz;ms
highly refpe&able for abilities and integrity
have been joined with him, and by the last
information they were not received or ac
knowledged. The inftruflions given these
Commissioners, exhibit in the clearest and
fulle® manner an carneft desire for adjusting
existing difficulties, for preserving peace
and rzﬁoring harmony between the two na
_tions—but as these inflrufltions, and the
communications from the commissioners,
have been made public, it is not necessary
for me to be more particular. 3y
What consequences may flow from the
| Frefem state of things, cannot be fully fore
een—bnt enough is tlreldy known to in
duce us to place ourselves in the best pofii
ble state ,'o? preparation for guarding and
defending our rights and privileges. *~ ~

A memorial was received from the Rev.
Mr. Heywood, stating his political senti

That it was not intentionally that he ne
gleéted to pray for the President of U. S.
That he never did till then, either in pub

but it was owing to his being much con
founded in coming before such a numerous

parts of the State.—Tke memorial was com

Wednesday last, arrived in Hampton
Roads, the brig Martha, Bland, from Li
verpool, Joaded with dry goods for this
town. She left Liverpool on the 15th of
March with the convoy, and on'the 16th
of May, in lat. 35, 15, long. 60, 12, loft
her rudder ; on the 18th, the captain (pamed
Parks, an inhabitant of this placcl the two
mates, carpenter, one sailor, cook and cab
in boy, being alarmed at the accident, a
bandoned her, and went on board the- ship
Free Accepted Mason, Capt. Delano, bound
for Boston ; but not until Parks plundered
the brig of all her papers, quadrants, com
pass, provisions, the long boat, and a con-,
fiderable quantity of merchandize. Mr.
Gardner, a paflenger, expostulated with the
captain and crew, intreated them not to
quit the brig so abruptly, and if they did
to leave a quadrant, compass, and long
boat, but this the dastardly, unfeeling cap
tain refufed. In this deplorable fitvation,
being then about goo miles from land, Mr,
Gardner took the command of the veflel,
and with two other paflengers, and three
seamen, we are happy to announce, he has
been enabled to conduét her fafe into port.
The manly and intrepid condu& of Mr.
Gardner, as well as thole brave fellows who
fluck by him, cannot be two highly com
mended. e ;

From the passengers, &c. we learn ;—
That a letter was received at Morlaix,

Pinckney and Marshall had obtained pafl
ports, and were that day to set off from
Paris, to embark at Bourdeaux for the
United States ; and that Mr. Gerry was to
remain at Paris.
That it was reported at Morlaix ; that
the French ambaflador to the Emperor of
Germany, had left Vienna, in consequence
of some ill usage he had received from the
people ; and that the Emperor had written
to the Diretory on the {ubjeét :—
That the invasion of England. was. flill
the flalking horse ; but it was the opinion
of many, that it would never be dttempted ;
and that the assembly of the trcops on the
occasion; is merely to have them at hand
in case the Direftory thould choose to con
jure up another conspiracy :— v
That a Spanish frigate had obtained the
leave of Admiral Parker to proeeed from
Cadiz to England, on what errand is un
known :—And, ;
That a French 74 gun ship, coming found

by the English. '

Capt. Ebenezer Ward arnved hare on
Tuelday from Turks-I{land. On his out
ward passage, 12th May, he was boarded by
a French privateer, which put on board him
the crew of the brig Elizabeth, W’m Fuller
ton, master, of Philadelphia ; which brig
she had taken on her passage from Tene
riffe home. This crew informed Capt. W,
that the fame privateer had captured the
brig Patty, Capt. George Ropes, of this
port, who had a few days before, with the
afliftance of 2 boys, recovered her from
another gang of French villains, as has been
recently mentioned. On finding out, by
threatening the life of one of the boys, that
Capt. Ropes had retaken his veflel; they
treated him in an infamous and abusive
manner, and charged him with having mur
dered those who bad pofleflion of her. But
the contrary is known, as the people have
arrived {afe at St. Thomas’s, in a boat
which Capt. R. humanely gave them. The
Patty is now sent to Porto-Rico. Her car
go is provisions, and no Englith goods.—
We are the more {orry for Capt. Ropes’s
fate, as he has established the fa&, that one
American with two boys can beat seven
French fans culottes.
Capt. Moulton arrived yesterday at Bev

the master of a Boston veflel, who was taken
by a French boat as he was going from

his crew set ashore, and had not since heard
of his veflel, nor could find out what they
had done with her. Capt. M. on his pal
{age home, was boarded by a British frigate
and treated politely—by a French privateer,
and (the’ from a French port) plundered
