Late Omissions.
HARTFORD, OCT. IQ.
Last Thursday the Honorable General Assembly
of this Rate convened at New-Haven. The Houle
deded Timothy Pitkins, Jun. Esq. speaker. At
eleven o'clock the two Houses being convened in
the Council Chamber, His Excellency the Gover.
nor delivered an Address, from which the follow
ing is an extract :
“ Scarcely have we had opportunity to rejoice
and congratulate each other, on the cessation ot hos
tilities among the nations of Europe, when a new
war has been commenced between Great Britain
and France. To a benevolent and humane mind
it is a melancholly consideration that nations are so
often difpoled to engage in war. Ungrateful how
ever as the idea is, it is perhaps at times, a necessa
ry measure to check the unreasonable pursuits of
unbounded ambition, and controul the unruly pal
lions of restless and aspiring minds. The ways of
Providence io these events are deep and unsearcha
ble. What may be the consequences to our coun
try from this renewed conflict between two rival
and powerful nations with whom we are intimate
ly connected in commerce, is at present uncertain.
While intemperate passions are indulged,and polit
ical prejudices prevail among us,the issue of events
connected therewith, cannot be calculated. One
thing,however firms obvious ; the happy effed
which our country derived from adopting a date of
neutrality, during th^ left European war, are not
forgotten, nor are they misunderstood by our citi
zens. Experience in that case, points to our true
policy on the present occasion. Viewing the rela
tive Situation, and political Rate of the two conti
nents, found wisdom didates to us, to avoid as
much as poinhle, every circumstance which may
tend to entangle this country in the whirlpool of
foreign contentions. And contemplating the fame
ideas, may we not luppofe it to be the design of
Providence in part, that, although our benevolence
may weep over the calamities of distant nation^the
increale, wealth and power of this continent, should
be promoted by their misfortunes.
We may at l'efift, I think, trust in that kind and
Superintending Providence, which has hitherto
watehed over the welfare of these United States, &
often interposed for our relief in times of anxiety
and di&efe, that it will Bill support and direct us
under prclent perplexities. Atthe lame time how
ever, while we acknowledge our dependence on the
kind interpofitibn of Providence, we ought to be
active in our own exertions for the pubic good ;
diligently locking the general welfare, by a wife &
prudent ule of our legislative powers, a difereet ex
ecution of our laws, with a moral and upright con
du& in all our relations ; to which we should add,
a fleady and firm adherence to the political, moral,
and facial institutions of our wife and venerable fore
fathers ; under the influence of which these New-
England States have flourifhed almost beyond ex
ample ; and which, if prefeived and supported in the
purity of their principle and practice, so far as cir
cumstances will admit, may still, I trust, prove the
happy means of continuing and securing the politi
cal salvation of at lead this portion of the union.
NEW-JERSEY ELECTION.
TRENTON, OCT. CS.
It is with regret we have to inform the Federalists
of New-Jersey and of the Union, that this Bate is
a g ain given up to the rule of Democrats. Our
hopes &expeditions of success at the late election
have been disappointed —lt seems that the political
delirium which enthrawls a great portion of our
country, now pervades a majority of the counties
of New-Jersey—like the (weatirfg-ficknefs & yel
low-fever, it must have its course, rll the poiton
on which it feeds is deftioyed by its rage. All things
are fubjed to disorder and disease, and the public
mind, as well as the human body, must now and
{hen experience the derangements incident tothis
mortal ayd impefea Rate.
When we look around and take a view of the
refpedive parties—when we compare public ser
vices, revolutionary merit, character and talents,
we feel a confeions pride and fatisfaaion in
reflecting on the standing of those with whom
we have the honour to think and ad—ln
this felicitation of circumstance we doubt not
that the sympathy of our fellow citizens is awake :
and we know that the spirit and fortitude, which
fuitriued their hearts icthe glomy feenes of the
revolution and upheld their arms in the day of bat
tle, will not defect them in the present adverse turn
of affairs. ~ . ~, „,
So far we are confeious of having yielded the
beR efforts our feeble powers permitted usto make,
and, a|fo of having done our utmost in seconding
the superior exertions of others—and though thele
have failed of success, yet we feel that we (land ac
quitted of reproach in the performance of our duty.
But to imagine that the Democrats of New-Jer
fcy can long maintain an ascendency in the admin
iftratiou of her government,would be the wildest
idea that folly and ignorance could suggest. That
party must, will inevitably fink to the point,which
the internal laws of nature have fixed as h> level in
a feale of gravitation. In the whole catalogue of
their leaders, a (ingle man cannot be found fit to
perform the duties devolving from any important
Like in the gift of the fate,and their ludicrous at
temptsto fill the parts they will be called to a& as
heretofore, must produce alternate tears and laugh
ter-A democratic adminiftratinn of the govern
ment of New-jersey, will exhibit a tragic-comic
feene inthe political drama of our country that will
finder us the sport of the world, and a butt for the
jest of mankind.
Singular Occurrence.
On the tilth ult. as feme lads from Beverly were amus
ing drives by filing near Baker's fed, they difeov
& a fifh ftrugeling on the furface of the water; on a
^ a ppQ%e of the 10 took the gaff and pulled it
CT.^ It proved to be a,„ I, bell, %
Bearing very prominent, and the lads tang in want of
Lit, one of them undertook to cut the 6, open, in order
to procure some, when, to their utter fete, out
popped a live bird, commonly called an old Q It
feeble to escape, and the lads secured g, and bro t
it on Bore. It is till living, and may be seen at Mr.
Whittimore's tavern, in Beverly
Nine human Skeletons were lately found in Mr.Buffum's
.round in the North Fields ; many parts of which, and
particularly the teeth, were very found. Two skeletons
found there two or three years ago. There is no
doubt these bones belonged to the native Indians, as the
Whites never Qad a burying place there.
