To the humane benevolent Citi-I

THErefpedful address of the Co
mmittee of hie town of Ports
mouth in the State of New-Hampshire,
in behalf of the town.
The duty we owe to our Ccmilituents,
the citizens of this desolated town im
pels us to lay before you, in general
and concise terms, its present fuffering
Rate.
The late terrible fire with which Di
vine Providence has visited us, in a
view of all circumstances, is believed
to be without a parallel, in our com
mon country.—This town retarded in
its early growth by many causes seem-1
ed beginning to overcome those obfta-
I cles, when the revolutionary war, by
its neceffaty effeds, nearly annihilated
its formers principal branches ofcom
merce,—( was just emerging from this
state ; its Trade began to revive and
increase, and particularly in the central
part of th^ town; where great exertions
were made, and much money laid out
to render it commodious for the pur
pose ; and even to cmbellifh it.
This fair arid beautiful part of the
town, has in one short day, become a
heap ofafhes & rubbiffi ; exhibiting such
a feene of devaluation and ruin, as gives
frefh pain at every new view.
The number and value of the Greets totally,
or in a great measure destroyed — the number of
inhabitantspow exposed to Bufferings and hard
fliips, beyoud the relief tendered by their sym
pathizing neighbors. —The aged and infirm,
widows and orphans, uuhoufed in mid-winter-
►„„ss »tefc „„fc„#4»fc» 9*&• «*«•
,4H«4«<fr«tffrfetf «•«+
The {lagnation of business, excepting the labor,
(patiently submitted to, and going on) of rear
ing or fitting up ffieken for persons and proper.
; ty refeued from the flames--the great deftruc
, tion of books, accounts and papers, of very great
value—the inability of the inhabitants of the
town to preserve, without assistance, its trade
with the interior, ready to fly off, in man, di
regions—and finally the damages confcquential
to such a slate of ruin, which though the, ma,
be conceived, bafle ail deferipuou and c&kula
tion.—All concur to plead powerfully with the
opulent and the prosperous ; indeed with all in
a comfortable date, who feel themfelvcsexpofed
to like calamities, and that they ma, need like
afliftance from sympathizing friends and coun
trymen. —It is from persons in prosperity or
eafv circumstances, that relief it peculiarly de
fir& and solicited. But injuflice would be done
to our own feelings, to those of our fuffering
;friends and neighbors, and to those of our bc
'nevolent fellow-citizens in the Union, did we
not declare that the smallest donations which
mav be made by the compaflionate of every class,
Iwill be gratefully received, and with all others,
Ifaithfully appropriated.—This town has cheer
, fully had a fellow feeling on like calamities tak-
;ing place in diflant parts of the union, and has
no doubt of experiencing the sympathy it feels
bound to shew.
