State of New Hampshire. PUBLIC Notice is hereby given, that Joseph Dyer and others, have petitioned the General Court representing that it is highly necessary not only to promote the settlement of new countries, but for the accommodation of the public at large, to have as early as may be convenient, our market roads judiciously laid out, which in many cases like this, would operate as a vast saving, both of time spent in travelling and money in clearing roads, (which when the country becomes settled, are wholly neglected) when a much shorter and more level way might be found, and through lands infinitely better for settlement. And whereas, it has long since been contemplated, by a large number of the northeastern settlements in the State of Vermont, and the northern settlements in this State, that a much shorter, more level and convenient road to market, may be had down Amoskeaggin river, than the road now travelled thro' the notch of the White Hills. And whereas a road is laid out from Colebrook through Errol to Dummer, and one from Stratford through Piercy to Dummer, and another from the toll bridge over Connecticut River, at the little falls in Northumberland to Piercy, and thence to Dummer, all of which being made passable, will in the opinion of said petitioners, accommodate three fourths of the inhabitants in the new county of Coos much better than the one through the notch. And whereas a road has been laid out, and partly cleared from Dummer through Paulsburg, Maynefsborough, Shelburne addition and Shelburne to extend from thence to Portland or Portsmouth, which in point of distance, will have thirty miles, and being infinitely more level, will upon a moderate calculation save 20 miles more. And whereas Winslow's location, Paulsburg, Maynefsborough and Shelburne addition are as yet unsettled, the petitioners aforesaid pray that the Legislature would grant a tax on said Winslow's Location, Dummer, Paulsburg, Maynefsborough and Shelburne addition, of three cents on each acre, public lands excepted, under such regulations and restrictions as shall be thought best for the public good. ORDERED that the petitioners be heard on said petition before the General Court on the second Wednesday of their next session, and that the petitioners cause the substance of the petition and order of Court thereon, be published in the New-Hampshire Gazette and in the Oracle, printed at Portsmouth, three weeks successively, commencing ten weeks prior to said day of hearing, that any person or persons may then appear, and shew cause, if any they have, why the prayer thereof may not be granted. Attest, JOHN A. HARPER, Clerk of the Senate. Concord, June 17, 1805.
TO LET, PART OF A HOUSE in Buck-street. Inquire of WILLIAM SIMES. Portsmouth, October 8, 1805.
TO LET, HALF of a convenient HOUSE, near the centre of the town. For terms, inquire of the Printer.

NEW Philadelphia Flour, Just received and FOR SALE by ELISHA HILL, Jr. North End. Oct. 15, 1805.
PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given, that Elisha Black and others have petitioned the General Court representing that the legislature at their December session 1803, granted a tax on the town of Strafford, among other things to make a road from Strafford to Piercy, and at their June session 1804, granted a tax on the town of Northumberland, a part of which to be laid out on a road from Northumberland to Piercy, and whereas said roads join in Piercy and extend on eastward through said Piercy, Winslow's Location, Dummer, Paulsburg and on to Bethel, it being a principal road from the north east part of said State to Portland. And whereas, to accommodate the public it is necessary to make about eighteen miles of roads, thro' said rough and a new country. Therefore, for the public good, and in some measure to relieve the inhabitants of said town from the heavy burden of making and maintaining said roads, they pray the Legislature to grant a tax of three cents on all the divided land in said town of Piercy and two cents on the undivided lands in said town (public rights excepted) for the purpose of making roads and bridges in said town, under such regulations as the legislature may see fit. ORDERED, that the petitioners be heard on their petition before the General Court on the first Tuesday of their next session, and that the petitioners cause that the substance of the petition and order of Court thereon, be published in the New-Hampshire Gazette three weeks successively, commencing eight weeks prior to said hearing, that any person or persons, may then appear and shew cause, if any they have, why the prayer may not be granted. Attest, JOHN A. HARPER, Clerk of the Senate. Concord, June 18, 1805.
State of New Hampshire. PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given, that the petitioners of Strafford have petitioned the General Court representing that great advantages would arise from the opening of roads, in various parts of the uncultivated lands in said town, which would encourage the settlement, and increase the value thereof, and that a bridge across Connecticut river in said town, near the mills now existing, would greatly accommodate the public, as well as the inhabitants in the vicinity. Wherefore, they pray that the Legislature would grant a tax of three cents on each acre of land in said town (public rights excepted) to be appropriated to the use aforesaid; one cent of which towards building said bridge, and two cents for the purpose of opening new roads and building bridges in the unsettled part of the town. Ordered, That the petitioners be heard on their petition before the General Court, on the first Tuesday of their next session, and that the petitioners cause that the substance of the petition and order of Court thereon, be published in the New-Hampshire Gazette three weeks successively, commencing eight weeks prior to said hearing, that any person or persons, may then appear and shew cause, if any they have, why the prayer may not be granted. Attest, JOHN A. HARPER, Clerk of the Senate. Concord, June 19, 1805.
State of New Hampshire. NOTICE is hereby given that the proprietors of Chatham, have levied a tax of five dollars on each original proprietors right of land in said town, and all other lands equivalent, and have committed the same to me the subscriber to collect, and unless said taxes are paid by the first day of January next, their lands will be advertised for sale. ASA EASTMAN, Proprietors Collector. Chatham, October 5, 1805.

Political Miscellany.
From the Political Observer.
VIRTUE is such an essential requisite to the rulers of republics that without it the most splendid talents confer but little honor on their administration. It is the virtue and wisdom only of a republican government, that can insure its respect, especially at the present day. Such governments may be considered as yet in their infancy. Tho' modelled on nature, and tho' attempted by the ancients, they have not, till lately, been put in operation, free from imperfection and unclogged by ignorance. And they are still exposed to the capricious criticisms of self interested men. Their faults, if any they have, are instantly observed and portrayed in the most glaring and disgusting colors. The advocates of monarchy, aristocracy, or any kind of hereditary government, are incessantly execrating that form which would, should they ever be invested with power, subvert their authority, destroy their distinctive greatness and reduce them again to a level with their fellow-citizens. But disinterested, candid and impartial observers who weigh every thing in the balance of reason, who delight in the happiness of man, and are acquainted with the felicity enjoyed by people under republican forms of government, approve of them in the highest degree, and decidedly prefer them to those which are hereditary and absolute. Hence the encomiums from every nation bestowed on the American government; and hence the disapprobation attending the government of France.
Freedom and sound observation ever prepare a people for great and extensive enterprises. By the first, man is allowed the exercise of his own judgement, and permitted to pursue those plans most congenial to his nature; this moves the other to action, whereby desperation and uncertain projects are totally laid aside and unfulfilled freedom demonstrated to be necessary for the complete establishment of order and happiness among the inhabitants of the earth.
The enjoyment of freedom, instead of rendering man incapable of governing himself, as its enemies have pretended, fits him for that duty, by giving free exercise to his reasoning powers, and enlarging his understanding—by discovering to him that he is a free agent and in a manner dependent on his own exertions for prosperity and happiness. The blessings it yields are numerous and incalculable. Its influence over man is salutary and powerful. Speaking of it an orator has said, "her potent voice, like that which rang through the regions of primeval chaos, has, from the confused elements of human nature, called forth myriads of embattled freemen to assert her cause. These, with the impetuosity of a torrent, rush upon the empire of despotism and sweep thrones, dignities and distinctions into one general ruin." Another orator has said, "the tree of liberty will shoot its top up to the sun. Its boughs will hang over the ends of the world, and the wearied nations will lie down and rest under its shade."
The spirit of liberty is interwoven in the soul of man. In whatever nation the rights of the subject are destroyed, man (if I may be allowed the expression) but partially exists. As just a contract as can be drawn between the American government, and the despotic tyrannies of Europe, may be described in saying, that in the former man's existence is entire, and in the latter but partial. But there is but little need of drawing contrasts between the governments of Europe, and that of the United States. Every year makes the difference more and more visible. The consequences of this difference are twofold; increasing, and any man, possessed of a common share of information, may clearly see the great degree of happiness, which the people of this nation possess above all other nations on earth.
ILLIUS SOCRAT.
We have from the loose or hasty publications of passion or pride, many useful hints and warnings;—a few years ago, the name of republicanism from Boston to the Potomac, was a theme of satire and reproach—the Boston Sentinel let slip lately its old flang , by retracting the idea of hostility to republicanism, taking refuge in the silly quibble, that its hostility was not to republicanism , but to democracy !—When a creature is driven to such a subterfuge , we can easily determine of what stuff he is made. Another Boston writer in a publication called the Anthology (merely because there is an English publication of that name) has come forth more explicitly—he says thus boldly—"We never fought for a republic , into which we were forced by an injudicious obduracy of our opponents—thus our form of government was the result of necessity , and not the chisping of choice ." The Boston Chronicle with its usual
spirit and temper, has exposed the hypocrite and impostor. But we have creatures of this kind in all parts of the country. Two or three years ago, a paper was established at Baltimore, called the Anti-Democrat , and in that paper it was undertaken in a series of thirteen or fourteen laboured essays, to give colour to the hostility to democracy, by denying that our governments are democracies; the writer or writers of those papers wrote themselves and their paper down —and proved by experience the fallacy of their doctrines. Aurora.
"We," says the Boston writer "never fought for a republic."
If he means by this, We New-England Tories , he is right. But if he means the American people, he is out of his reckoning; for we assure him, that whatever the well-born and the tories might have thought of the business, We the people did fight for a Republic.
The same writer says—"Our form of government was the result of necessity and not the offspring of choice ."
This is cut out of the same piece of political cloth as Mr. Adams' answer to the address of the young men of Philadelphia, in 1798. In this answer Mr. Adams declares that he acted a part in our revolutionary struggle, "not from a desire of innovation, not from discontent with the government under which we were born and bred," that is, the British government. "We did not fight for a republic," says the Boston federal writer—and I did not act from a desire of change , says Mr. Adams. The measures adopted by Mr. Adams and his party from '97 to 1800 were very natural fruits of such sentiments.
But whatever might have been the motives of Mr. Adams and the other great federalists, it seems, THE PEOPLE did fight from discontent with the old British government; they "fought for a republic," and they obtained it, and they , in spite of Mr. Adams' hereditary notions, have kept it—and what is better than all, they give us pretty strong assurances that they will keep it—"God save the King" is too dull a tune for a yankee reel—to Mr. Adams and his band may hang up their fiddles ; unless they choose, by a dexterous shift , to play in such a mode of time as 162—14.

FRANKFORT, AUG. 18.
The Forming of a camp at Budweis, in Bohemia, is this day officially confirmed.—It will consist of 15 regiments of infantry, and of two regiments of cavalry. The Camp of Gracow is already formed. It has only two regiments of hussars & dragoons. The troops in the neighborhood of Petau, amount to 9 or 10 thousand men.
We learn from Munich, that on the 11th, couriers from Paris and Vienna arrived with dispatches, said to be of great importance. According to the same letters, considerable artillery and ammunition had been sent from Munich to Wurtzburg.
We are also informed, that a corps of Russian troops was to assemble near Anspach, and it is said were actually on the march.
Letters from Berlin, of the 10th, announce the arrival in that city of Prince Troubetzkoi, privy counsellor and chamberlain of the Emperor of Russia, from Dresden, and of the Russian Counsellor of State, Guldenstube, from Riga. According to the same letters, Senator Gregory had arrived at Berlin, from France.
Bonaparte at this moment, besides the ships of war which he has already fitted out, has upwards of fifty ships of the line building in different places.
PARIS, AUG. 21.
Advices from Corfu state that a Russian general there commands eight battalions of Albanese and Mantiots, all determined enemies to the Mussulman name. These Levies have excited great displeasure amongst the Turks of the Morea, and particularly of Ali Pacha.

The Iris, of 14 guns and 12 men, from Portsmouth, England was also taken.
CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 8. We have lately received the unpleasant news that a new rebel in Asia, named Saider Pasha, has entirely defeated the troops of Cara Osman Oglou, well known for his courage and attachment to his sovereign.

BY THE LAST MAILS.
PEACHAM, SEPT. 17.
Counterfeiters Punished.
We hear from Chelsea, that the following persons were convicted of counterfeiting, or passing bank bills, during the last week, at the sessions of the Supreme Court, Orange County.
Samuel Spring, found guilty of passing counterfeited bills, of the New Hampshire bank, payable in Philadelphia. Sentenced to stand in the pillory one hour, each day, for three successive days, to be whipped Thirty-Nine stripes, and pay a fine, to the State's treasury, of 400 dollars.
N. B. This Spring, is an old offender, and partner with the notorious Stephen Burroughs, in the Canada manufactory; and it is highly probable he was the executor of the written part of the counterfeited bills. When he was apprehended there were taken with him 800 dollars in forged bills.
Russel Underwood, convicted of passing counterfeited bills, of the United States bank, Boston Branch. Sentenced to stand in the pillory one hour, each day, for two days, to be whipped Thirty Nine stripes, and to pay a fine of 100 dollars.
John St. Clair, convicted of passing counterfeited bills, of the New Hampshire bank. Sentenced to the pillory one hour, each day, for two days, to be whipped Thirty Nine stripes, and fined 20 dollars.
John Giles, indicted for passing counterfeited bills of Providence and Keene banks, plead guilty. Sentenced to stand one hour in the pillory, to be whipped Thirty Nine stripes, and fined 20 dollars; which sentences, have been executed.
There were indictments, presented by the Grand Jury against seven others, for being concerned in the Counterfeiting business, and the State Treasury has been benefitted to the amount of 4400 dollars, by the forfeiture of bonds for the appearance of delinquents.—The Court ordered sundry plates, and other tools for counterfeiting, to be destroyed, and upwards of 1000 dollars in counterfeited bills to be burned.
The State's Attorney, Mr. Chase and Sheriff Barron, deserve the thanks of their fellow citizens, for their indefatigable exertions in the detection of as abandoned a gang of counterfeiters, as ever troubled this State.
BOSTON, OCT. 19.
HOSTILE FLEETS.
Capt. Howe, who arrived here on Wednesday last from London, informs that on the 12th September, he saw the British blockading fleet, under Admiral Cornwallis, on its station off the French coast; and consisting from twenty-five to thirty sail of the line. It had been joined by Lord Nelson's squadron.
It is highly probable, that as late as ten or twelve days into September, the great body of the French and Spanish Navy were in Brest and Cadiz harbours. There was a small squadron at Toulon, another small one in Ferrol; and two or three damaged ships were left at Vigo, by Villeneuve. We may, therefore, expect another spell of the dull and teasing narrative of blockade proceedings.
We are informed from the best authority, says the Washington Federalist, that our unfortunate ally, Hamet Bey, of Tripoli, is expected here in one of the first vessels. That he is a brave, humane and princely gentleman; and that the stories told by his vile brother, of his being addicted to drink, or any other excess, is totally unfounded.—This may be depended on.
Melancholy.—In Durham, (Mass.) the 2d inst. the house of Mr. Ebenezer Roberts accidentally caught fire, and was entirely consumed, with its contents. All the family narrowly escaped, except Mr. Roberts, who was suffocated and burnt to ashes, after he had rescued his children!
A few days ago, a gentleman, residing about half a mile from town, observed a cobweb, in a corner of his room, much agitated. Upon going up to it, he saw a mouse entangled in the web, and a large spider upon the head of the mouse. After a few struggles, the mouse expired!

GREAT EARTHQUAKE.
Letters from Naples, dated Aug 2, estimate the damages in that city, by the late earthquake at 84,600,000 francs. The following are extracted from returns made to the government by commissioners. In Ibernia the commotion was terrible, the ground opened and vomited forth flames, and 339 families were swallowed up.
In Calabro there perished 192 families—In Massino, 84—In Ercolone, 393—In St. Angelo in Coila, 45—In Baranello, 180—In Cassano, 140—Lorenzano and St. Angelo di Lombardi, have been entirely destroyed.
A letter from Rome mentions the whole number of families which perished, at 1750—that 11 villages were destroyed—and 4600 houses at Naples more or less injured.
A slight shock of an earthquake has been felt at Vienna; and an alarming fire has destroyed a number of houses in the suburb of Iser.
The Mississippi Herald, printed at Natchez, of the 6th ult. says—"We are informed by a gentleman from the neighborhood of Pinkneyville, that a party of armed Spaniards (number not known) entered that place on Monday evening last, and forcibly seized and carried off Mr. Reuben and Mr. Samuel Kemper. When our informant left home he understood that Col. Barker was employed taking depositions respecting this event, for the information of the executive."
The same paper says—"An agent of Mr. Edward Randolph's, who kept a store, at the mouth of Bayou Sarah, has been also driven from thence at an hour's notice."
A few days since a treaty was signed at Vincennes, by Wm. H. Harrison, governor of the Indiana territory, on the part of the United States and several Indian nations and tribes, by which the United States have acquired a right to all the country south of a line to be drawn from the north east corner of the Vincennes tract, so as to strike the Indian boundary running from a point opposite to the mouth of Kentucky river, fifty miles from the Ohio river. This tract contains about 30,000 acres.
This is an interesting occurrence to our western settlements. The purchase concerns the counties of Dearborn, Clark, and Knox. The Indian title except a small tract of the Piquakaw claim, is now extinguished from the Miami river to the Mississippi. The Indians are cut off from the Ohio, excepting a point of twelve or fifteen miles immediately below the Wabash.
The settlement of Dearborn and Clark, is rapidly increasing; emigrants are crowding in along the Ohio, from thence to the Mississippi;—Knox and the counties on the Mississippi, have recently received a considerable increase of population. We now have the fairest prospects of soon possessing numbers sufficient to authorise the formation of a state government, if Congress will consent to a small alteration in our ordinance. It is believed that Congress will not dissent from a scheme that will be so advantageous to the inhabitants of the territory; and it is to be hoped that our fellow citizens will not be so far influenced by local or party prejudices, as to decline the acceptance of an arrangement that will place them on the footing of a free and independent state. Vincennes paper.
Pennsylvania Election.—Gov. McKean is probably re-elected for three years more, which will finish the term for which he is constitutionally eligible to that office.
Vermont Election.—Information is received from 181 towns; out of this number, 107 are republican, and 74 federal—16 towns remain to be heard from; from these towns the representations stood last year, 6 republican and 10 federal;—calculating from which, there is a majority of 29 republican members in the General Assembly, out of 197 tow.
The prospect of the result of the ensuing election in New-Jersey, is in a high degree pleasing and auspicious. The number of Federalists in the Legislature will be so small, that their opposition to the adoption of Republican measures, or the appointment of Republican officers, can avail nothing; of course we may calculate upon harmony, in the deliberations of the members... and dispatch in their business.
If our estimate is correct, there will be in Council eleven Republicans to two Federalists, in Assembly, thirty-six Republicans to four Federalists—and in Joint Meeting forty-seven Republicans to six Federalists.
With such majorities, it is true to their principles and to one another, (of which we have no fear) the Republicans can have nothing to apprehend either from the intrigues or the strength of their opponents—and may proceed in promoting the best interests of the State, and giving permanency to Republican principles, without embarrassment or hindrance. Trenton True American.
Two events have taken place under Mr. JEFFERSON's administration, which will interest the page of history when all the little federal tricks and their calumnies, shall have been swept away in one undistinguished ruin. The events alluded to, are, the attainment of an Empire by fair and honorable purchase, without the price of blood, and the concluding a treaty of peace and friendship upon the principles of civilized polity, with a people hitherto denominated barbarians, whose universal hostility to the rest of mankind, has ever been considered as standing evidence and a living testimony of the authenticity of the scripture prophecies.
Rattlesnake.—There was lately killed in the town of Newbraintree, in Worcester County, a Rattlesnake, which upon opening, was found to contain a full grown Grey Squirrel, and a Robin.

The Nineteenth of October, 1781.
This is one of the brilliant days which the true American historian will record with rapture, and ought ever to be remembered with pleasure, and spoken of with religious enthusiasm and joy by all those who deprecate the efforts of tyranny to subjugate America. The capture of the whole British army, at York Town and Gloucester, in Virginia, by the allied armies of America and France, under General Washington, in conjunction with the French fleet, under M. de CUSTRIES, de BARRAS, and Count de GRASSE.—Lord CORNWALLIS, was obliged to surrender his army unconditionally (however humiliating to the British and their friends the tories) to General WASHINGTON, whom they had previously styled the "rebel General," and the British seamen and ships to the French Admiral. At this victory, the known humanity and bravery of the Americans shown conspicuous, for as the historian, (RAMSAY) says, they were "incapable of imitating examples of barbarity, and forgetting recent provocations, they spared every man that ceased to resist." Democrat.
We have much pleasure in stating that the fever in Philadelphia and New-York, is rapidly abating; and we have hopes will be extinct in a few days. The board of Health of New-York, have, with wise precaution, requested their fellow citizens not to return to their abodes too early; and recommended, that the houses be well aired before reoccupied.
The Town-Council of Providence, have published, that in consequence of the return of the citizens to that part of the town which was evacuated in August, on the appearance of the fever, seven persons had been taken with said fever;—four of whom had deceased;—the last of whom died the 28th Sept. and that no new case had since occurred.

From the MORNING CHRONICLE.
TO A WITHERED ROSE.
How fair wert thou, when first mine eye Caught the beauteous tint of thy leaves that dress'd Just bursting from obscurity, To court the zephyr to thy breast. To me thou didst recall the time, When hope and fancy wing'd my days; When in my joyous youthful prime, No pensile note e'er mark'd my lays. Thou too but like me wert but half blown, Ere drooping for thy parent soil, Thy rich perfume far had flown, And death had ta'en thee as his spoil. He bow'd thy unsunming head, And paler made thy modest glow, Which boasted ne'er the brightest red, But such a blush as pale cheeks know. Thy lively green is faded too, And thou dost not one trace retain Of that sweet flower the peasants wove, To weave its perfume o're the plain. Poor Rose, adieu! may I like thee, When death has laid my green head low, Have some fond friend to sigh for me, And mourn for buds that never blow.
AMUSING DEPARTMENT.
FOR THE GAZETTE.
Messrs. Printers, Within a few days a book accidentally fell into my hands, which I had read some twenty years ago. It also happened that I opened it at a letter concluding with the following passages; treating of the times when it was published—to say nothing of our own times, the re-publication of the remarks, may raise a blush for the fashions of 1753!
Yours, B*.*h.
EXTRACT.
"I called some time ago upon a friend of mine—who, upon my asking where his sister was, told me, "at her toilette, UN- DRESSING for, &c."—that the expression may be intelligible—I beg leave to inform —that it is the fashion for a lady to UN- DRESS herself to go abroad, and to dress only when she stays at home and sees no company."
"It may be urged, perhaps, that the na- kedness in fashion is intended only to be emblematical of the innocence of the present generation of young ladies; as we read of our first mother, before the fall, that she was naked and was not ashamed; but I can- not help thinking that her daughters of these times, should convince us that they are en- tirely free from original sin, as well as ethi- cal transgression, or else be ashamed of their NAKEDNESS."
"I would ask any pretty miss about town, if she ever went a second time to see the wax work, or the lions, or even the dogs and the monkeys, with the same delight as at first? Certain it is, the finest show in the world excites but little curiosity in those who have seen it before. "That was a very fine picture," says my lord, but I had seen it before." "It was a sweet song of the Gally's," says my lady, but I had heard it before." "A very fine poem, says the crit- ic," but I had read it before." Let every lady therefore take care, that while she is displaying in public a bosom whiter than snow, the men do not look as if they were laying. "Tis very pretty, but we have seen it before."
A BON vivand of fashion, brought to his death bed, by an immoderate use of wine, after having been seriously taken leave of by Dr. Picaire, and ingeniously told that he could not in human probability sur- vive twelve hours, and would die by eight o'clock next morning, exerted the small re- mains of his strength to call the doctor back, which having accomplished with difficulty, his loudest effort not exceeding a whis- per he said, with the true spirit of a gam- bler. "Doctor, I'll bet you a bottle I live till nine."
