State of Newhampshire.
BY THE GOVERNOR.
A. Proclamation.
TO. those whafe minds are duly impre (fed
with a sense of a dependance upon Divine Pro^
idence, for the privileges and advantage we
enjoy as a People, and for public and social,
as well as individual bieffings : arguments can
not be wanting to evince the propriety of uniting
together in a public and solemn manner, for
the purpose of acknowledging our dependance,
and in Application to the Father of Mercies,
that he would forgive our tranfgredions, and
bettow upon us such favours as we may stand
in need of.
Therefore, in conformity to the long eftab-
Jifhed, and highly laudable practice of setting
apart some certain day at this season of the year
I have thought fit, by and with advice of Coun
cil, to appoint Thursday the Nineteenth Day oj
/,ril next, to be observed as a day of Hum
iliation, Lifting and Prayer, throughout this
State ; at'A do request that Ministers and Peo
ple of every denomination would religiously ded
icate said day, and afemble together at their
refoedive places of Public ,Worthip, that we
mfy unitedly, with contrite hearts, acknow
ledge our transgressions, beseech forgiveness
from the Father of Mercies, and offer up our
fervent petitions for His blessing.
That he would guide and prosper our
State and National Governments; that all
our Rulers may be just men, and conscientiously
difehirge the duties of their several Rations, re
membering that they are accountable not only
to Man but to the Almighty Ruler of the Uni
verfe —
That the seasons of the year maybe prosperous,
and the Fruits of the Field amply reward the labours
of the hufbmdman —
That success ^v attend our Commerce, Manu
faffures, and all lawful employments —
That we may be preserved from contagious and
deffruaive fickoefyand the voice of health be heard
in owr land — •
That we may have a just sense of the high priv
ileges with which we are favored asa People, and
keep in mind that our accountiblenels for rhe use
of them -will be proportionate—
That all who are employe I as inftrußors in the
do&nes and duties of our holy religion, may be di
vinely taught,and exhibit the firicerity of their pro.
sessions, by their condua and example —
That he would blefsnur Seminaries of Learning,
that the rifinygeneration maybe prepared by literary
moral & religious inftruaion for eminent ufefulnefs.
And above all,that a tpirit of pure and undetiled;
Religion, may universally prevail.
And I do recommend that all persons religiously
lahftai, frem labour and recreation unbecoming the
solemnity of the day,
Given at the Ceuncil Chamber in ExHer, this Nineteenth
day of March, One Thousand Eight Hundred and
Four, andof the independence of the United States f

For the ORACLE.
The present very interfiling (peculation, for
/making the great leading roads from the interior,
parts of the country to market Turnpikes, will be
extremely uieful, if directed to the right courses,
Slid liberally encouraged by our Legifia ure—in ad
ition to those already granted, 1 beg Iwiveto sug
gest to the consideration of fomeof the well wi(h
, ers of the real interest of the State, the propriety of
faffociating for obtaining a grant and mating the
Ifollowing Turnpike road, with it s branches—-There
Ijs in Vermont, a late grant for making one, from
'Lake Chaplain to Conneaicut river; in the most
rireA rout to Portland, which evidently will be,
) from the situation of the country and the interest
, of the associates, from or pear St. Albany up the
[ river La Moil#, through Hydes Park, Hardwick,
, 'daoville, &c. to Conneaicut River, from thence'
j tne rout will continue, as l am informed, by some
lof the associates, thro' Thorn,on. Sandwich, &c.
,to Portland, -r-wbat I would now propose, is, that ,
;of opening a Turnpike Road from Sandwich in
the most dired tout, thro' Mouhonboroogh,Wolf
n borough, Dover; &c. to P&tlmomb, 'rcm Moul.
tonborough it will be necessary Jo extend a branch
to Plymouth, to be coone^ed, with the one alrea
dy granted thro' Orford ,o Wentworth, to em-,
brace the great travelling which will naturally fall
in this way from Connecticut river and Vermont^
,o go to Portland, Portsmouth, &c. from Wolibo
rough; one other branch will be decenary, to be
extended in the most direift rout to interled the
Turnpike Road lately granted by this State, thro'
the upper notch of the White Mountains, to em
brace the|great travelling which will allo be this
way to Portsmouth, &c. it will, I think, be readily
seen, that this propoled Turnpike, uniting three,
great roads, natutally embracing the travel of nearlyl
one' half of Hide in ,New-Hamp(hire, more than a
one half of those m Vermont, and a great proper,
tion of those in Canada, who may with to go, not
only to Portsmouth, but to Newbury Part, Salem,
Or Boston, muff offer to the proprietors greater ad- (
vantages than that of any. one already granted in ~
New-Hampfliire, or perhaps, that ever can be (
granted, as well as being of incalculable advantage'
to the country generally, as well as to the towns of 1
Portsmouth and Dover in particular.
To the Author of Amelia, or the Old Man's j
Story. |
PROCEED fair Moralist, th, coarse purfne, (
And light the charms of virtue fair to View ;
Bend all thy foul, beneficent and kind,
To tune the passions and corred the mind;
To raise the foul above the joys of sense,
And point the wanderer up to Providence;i
To pi&ure vice in fad, disgusting shades,
Till thrilling horror every pulse pervades:
On fancy's loveliest wing, with art to behr,
In virtue's cause, the young ingenuous Fair
In fidion's school, to raise, irfiprre, and reach
What cold realities in vain would reach.
Delineate nature, fell the magic fell
Bears u% enchanted, to the original-
See Benloe true, to guard Amelia's fame,
Conceal through life her origin and name,
O, wretched Harriot, how her charms depart;
Since the tirft errors of her wandering heart-
In youth ungrateful, vain, Ifcencious, gay,
To passion's influence, and to vice a prey;
By arts delusive, her own fate pursue,
And rob the chaste Amelia of her due.;
Fills rhick'ning ills, which from such follies AMY)✓
Consign her life in wretchedness and woe—
STANDLr, whose love, net duty could fubduc,
Demands cur confute, and compassion too ;
To worth and Hymen; his rash vow was made =
To lave ^nd Harriot Bill the rights were paid,
Till driv n at laftdrom 'thofe fedudive charms,
To heart -fri/blifs in his Amelias arms,
ingenuous Barrimqre, thy manly heart,
.T empted-and tortur'd by a female's art,
Deferv'd that bliss, (O could you taste and live)
Amelias only had the power to give.
But O bright paragon of female worth!
The pride of virtue add the foul of' truth!
What new-born power, thy Ready foul could guide
Above thy fex'a constancy and pride,•
To fee those rights, by sacred ties, thy own,
To the toofe withes of another thrown.
Yet nought from dirty thy firm heart could moVe,
Reding on patience, hope, religion, love,
Till thy all-powerful worth reclaim'd his life,
Who flew to virtue, heav'n, connubial life.
Maythe pure precepts of tby chafl'ning page.
Inspire and elevate the rising age;
Taught that no vice or crime can tempt the foul
Beyond the power of virtue to controui.
' If vent'rous man would view their picture true,
DORVALS might tremble and be fav'd by you.
May all the gifts that virtue can impart,
Reward the efforts of thy generous heart,,,
While round thy board, as round thy heart they twine,
In health and joy, the young Amelias Ihine.

General Pichegr# and the famous royalist Georges, had
been privately landed it France, from the BritHh isles,
to effect the afT&ffimioa; that they had assumed the uni
form of the Coulular Life Guard; and on the discovery of
the conspiracy had escaped into the interior—And that* the
gates of the rhuilferics had been gained, and powdetsin
tiuduced into the gardens in wine calks.

DIED
At bemarara, Mr, Ebenezer Smith of this town.
This amiable young gentleman has left a numerous circle
of friends and acquainracce, to lament his untimely death.
All who knew him, mult be fentiblc of his worth, and will
fr<l his fofs. His breast was the repository of c&ery man
ly virtue; and bis conduct through hi, ffiort life, was
governed by the determinations of a virtuous and reflecting
rarnd. In his principles he was correct ; in friendfhip
firm; and in all his attachments he was uniformly ua
fhaken.
In his death, the community at ^rge, have toft a spirit
ed and enterprising genini, bis acquaintance a pteafing
and agreeable companion ; and a fond mother and affec
tlbhate brother, have had their rising hopes biased in the
bud.
He died in possession of “ the rich relies of' 'man,

the world of spirits and disembodied beings,- where there
is Ro more fickoefs or death, where the voice of sorrow.
Ihall never be heard, and where all tears lhall be wiped
away from every eye.
It would be but a remark jufUy due to the chlradcr of
Mr. boardman, to fay, that be was an affectionate hus
band, a tender father, a finecre friend, a valuable citizen,
and good neighbour; and by reafou of his death the town
to which he belonged, has loft a man, who ever wilhed to
promote good order and regularity in society.

Improved Patent Bedstead.
THE Subferibers having observed
and experienced many inconveniences at
tending the fixing, putting up, and taking down
that necessary Article of Furniture, the Bedstead,
have invented an improvement to remedy thole in
conveniences. Being equally applicable to com
mon B11(leads, with fackiog Bottoms, as to more
costly ones, they persuade themselves it will meet
with general approbation. It would exceed the
limits of an advertifetnent to be particular in de
ferring p he ftrufture and advantages. It may fuf
fice to fay, the Bedfiead is firmly fastened
at the corners, without the troubletome operofe
contrivance and use of screws. It may be easily
put up by one perfou, and little more time is re
quired for taking it down by one perlon, than
would be necefery for putting up and taking down
the leaves of a Dining Table. These advantages
are obvious in an article which requires frequent
examination, and is frequently removed, but the
special advantages in case of Fire will be perceived
at once by those who have been obliged to remove
and save furniture on such occasions of hurry and
diftrelb—The subscribers flatter themselves tiw.^
invention combining Simplicity, ufefumefs, and
cheapness, will be encouraged by a generous Pub
lic. The new cooftruaed Patent Bedstead will be
to be leen it Mr. Wyatt's Work-foep Daniel
