SPEECH:
Fellowcitizens of the Senate,
and House of Representatives,
H AVING, in obedience to the faffrages of
m, fefociti%em of thefate, accepted the office of
firft magistrate, I foe neceffarilj fpeat feme time
in examining the public papers received by the late
Governor.
Amongfttbofe papers is an aQ of Congref, and
requisition consequent thereupon from the Executive
of the United Stated, to the Executive of thisJiate,
to organize, arm, equip, and have ready to march
at a moment's earning, part of the militia of this
fate; as Specified in the aft, which with the other
public papers will be laid before you.
On examination of the constitution and militia
laws of the United States, and of this fate, I do
not find that the Executive is authorijed fully to
comply with the requftion, without further aid
from the Legifldture.
Inferffed v;ttb the idea, that you will think it
bight, important, in the present critical Jituation,
that the United States should be in complete readi
ngs for defence; it is not necefar, for me to rec
ommend an attention to thoje papers as Joon as may
be.
The present afpea of our national affairs is very
f ar from being agreeable. Our navigation and
commerce have been greatly interrupted by foreign
powers —property to large amount has been plun
dered from our citizens, and many other enormities
which / need not particularize ; And notwithfland
ing the sincere endeavours of the United States for
just and peaceable accommodation, if is, ver, uncer
tain, whether an evente,jo much to, be defred on
terms honourable, will be obtained.
It appears to be our duty to whet the foord,
and make all neceffar, preparations for the dread
ful alternative, WAR— at the fame time may we
all unite in ardent defre to that Being who has ib,
hearts of all men in bis bands, that be would in
cline all to peace onjtf and honourable terms—
that tbe sword, unstained with the blood of men,
ma, be returned, long to remain in thefaatb.
Gentlemen of the House of Representatives,
Thefubjed cj debts due from this fate, having
been under consideration the laftjeffion, and not
completed, will require,ourfurther attention ; and
I cannot bat add my opinion, that justice, the ho
nour and intgref of the fate, require provision
should be made for dfcharging thoje debts as Joon
as may be. , ,'
The papers containing a generalfatement of the
Treasury will be laid before,on. Afatlement of
the Treasurer's accounts to the present period, and
the disposal of notes, certificates, and feme other
papers now in the treasury, will require the di
reaion of the Legfature.
Gentlemen of the Senate, # ;, '

By the Con/litution, which, is star rultof con
aua, it is (amo^g other thingsj declared, that all
the facial virtues are indiJptnfably nectfar, to ,re
serve the blessings of liberty and good government ;
to this Sentiment we have all ju^'cribed—Having
conftanti, in view the welfare of our country, the
true intertf of the.people who have named us to
the several flations we now bold, it mus betbe ar
dent defre of all, tbatuum and harmony should
be preserved ; ^d I ardently hope to derive great
ffifaaion in uniting with botfy father ^ the
Legifature, in the pledfag toft of promoting the
MMfc J. Hale, A. Livermore, Prentice,
Goddard and Cilley, were appointed a com
mittee on the part of the House, to draught
and report an answer to his Excellency the
Governor's Speech, this day delivered to
both branches of the Legislature.

CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 2£.
THE diplomatic debates between our
Minister and the Ruffian Ambassador
have assumed a most serious form, their con
ferrences are more frequent than ever. In
the mean time the Porte makes dispositions
of wg: He is engaged in very considerable
preparations, particularly in Europe. The
greatest activity is displayed on the confines
of the Crimea, and towards the banks of the
Dinefter. Already they talk of putting out
a numerous fleet to sea. These measures
appear the more necessary as Russia is also
making very considerable preparations. We
have even received intelligence that already
an army of almost a hundred thousand men
is affem bled on the confines of Moldavia.
Commotions among the Turks.
The infurredion in Arabia Bill con
tinuet. The rebellious fed are called
the Vehabi, and have nothing left in
view than the sapping of the whole
foundation of the Mahometan Relig
ion, which they are taught to look
upon at, the greffeft Idolatry. Their
opinioni, however, are by no mean#
new, being to be traced 6o year#
back to their original propagator, an
eminent Scheich, of the name of Mo
hammed Ibn Abdul Vehab. What
they particularly inculcate is the de
ftruaion of the tomb of Mahomet,
the Sanduary of Mecca, and all the
religious ceremonies recommended in
the island. Thus recommending plun
der and rapine, their principles have
been greedily imbibed by the Arabi,
who were strong enough last year to
defeat an army of 40,000 men laid
against them by the Seriff of Mecca
and the Pacha of Bagdad „the latter
is said to have a plan for their entire
suppression, which hat been approved
by the Divan.
The difeontents among the people
here are Bill very high. Divisions al
so exist among the troops, and a Short
time since the Connoneers and the Ja
nissaries had an engagement, in which
many were killed on both lides. And
notwithftandiog this tumult was ap
pealed,a new explosion is much dread
ed, which cannot fail to be terrible.

+OSTEND, APRIL 2.
VICTIM of the OLD GOVERNMENT.
A tetter from Florent Guyot, National Dep
uty, informed the Convention, that Francois,
d'Ecofe, eighty years of age, had been kept
in the prison of Life, in irons, for 45 years !
His family, who resided at Stockholm,
had formerly allowed him an annual sum of
300 livres, which had been withdrawn for
three years.
This unhappy man had beenfaken up bya<
lettre de catcher, after having served with
Credit in the French army. ;
The Convention decreed, that a pension of
2000 livres Should be granted to him, and
that an enquiry Should be instituted into the
reason of this man's imprisonment having
been kept from the knowledge of the Gov
ernment Since the Revolution.'"
The sickness among the troops at South
ampton and the isle of Wight is truly alarm
ing, and demands the most serious attention
of Government.—The disorder among them
has baffled the Skill of one of the physician &
generals, and some of the best Surgeons and'
physician gentlemen that ever attended an
army.—Three regiments are faid' to have
been thus rendered unserviceable.
