THE retirement of General Washington, ascertains and eternizes his character. From this moment he is to descend to posterity as the greatest man of the age in which he lived. He has seized on the critical moment for asserting his fame, and is now removed from even the contingencies of ill fortune. How wretched and insignificant do a Grattan and a Flood look, when set in comparison with him!—The one receiving a boon of 50,000l. for not serving his country—and the other holding back from the great object till the hazard was past.—He on the contrary, came forward in the first instant—He labored for no emolument—He retires with no pension. Having begun and accomplished the deliverance of his country—having created an empire, he desired no other reward from the people that he had made free and imperial, than that they would love peace, do justice, and remember the debts which they owe to those that made them free. Such is the character of this man, and no doubt but the legacy which he has left on his political dissolution will, as it ought, do more to inspire the Provincial Assemblies with a sense of their duty as citizens, and as men, than all that has yet been written or spoken. If he does not inspire them with justice and gratitude, the United States, so wonderfully raised, so nobly constituted by the magnanimity of Mr. Washington, will sink, on his retirement, into slavery more abject than that from which they were rescued.
Copy of a letter from the honorable Major General the Baron Stuben, to Major General Sullivan.
S I R,
I HAVE the honor as President of a Convention, for establishing the Society of the Cincinnati; to present you with a plan of its formation, together with several resolutions which have taken place relative to it.
The principles, on which the society is founded, will, I hope, meet your approbation, and engage you to become one of its members and supporters.
Not only your character and station in civil life, but the superior rank you held in the army of the United States, point you out as the most proper person in the State of New Hampshire, to whom the forming a society in that State, can be committed.
Your friendship for the officers of the American army, with whom you were so long connected, induces me to believe you will embrace with pleasure, the opportunity of joining them in an institution, the chief motive of which is, to perpetuate that virtuous affection which, in so exemplary a
manner, existed among them, while in arms, for the defence of their country.
With the greatest respect, I have the honor to be, &c.
STUBEN, Major General, President.
West Point, July 1783.
The Hon. Major General Sullivan.
THE Baron having also communicated a letter from Major L. Enfant, enclosing a design for the medal and order, containing the emblems of the institution,
Major General Sullivan proceeded to notify the persons, pointed out by the institution, as fit members to join the order, to meet in Convention at Col. Samuel Folsom's, in Exeter, on Tuesday the 18th day of November, A. D. 1783, for the purpose of forming a State Society, in the State of New Hampshire.
Tuesday, November 18, 1783.
Then met the following gentlemen, viz. Major General Sullivan, Col. Cilley, Col. Dearborn, Capt. Cals, Capt. Sullivan, Capt. Munro, Capt. M'Clary, Lieut. Mills, Lieut. Gookin, Lieut. Adams, Lieut. Cilley, Lieut. M'Gaffey, and Lieut. Wilkins.
And after hearing and approving the regulations for the order of the Cincinnati, proceeded to choose Major General Sullivan chairman.
Also voted, Capt. Sullivan, Clerk, P. T. to record the minutes.
The Gentlemen above named, as met in Convention, unanimously voted, That they cheerfully embrace the opportunity of forming a society in this State; and hereby engage to become members of the order of the Cincinnati; and to regulate themselves, and support the honor and intent of the institution, according to the regulations transmitted by the honorable Major General the Baron Stuben, to the honorable Major General Sullivan.
They then proceeded to sign the following Covenant:
We the subscribers, officers of the American army, do hereby voluntarily become parties to the foregoing institution; and do bind ourselves to observe and be governed by the principles therein contained: For the performance whereof, we do solemnly pledge to each other our sacred honor.
Done at Exeter this 18th day of November, in the year 1783.
After signing, the members proceeded to elect, by ballot, the officers prescribed by the institution.
The ballots being examined, Major Gen. Sullivan was elected president. Col. Dearborn, vice president. Capt. Sullivan, secretary. Col. Cilley, treasurer. Capt. Cals, assistant treasurer.
The society being formed, and after duly considering the method proposed, for establishing a fund for the society, for the
purposes and in the manner as prescribed by the institution, communicated by Baron Stuben; it is considered, that a number of the members of this society have no right to draw on John Pierce, Esq; pay master general to the united army, of the United States.
It is therefore voted, That the fund for this society be established by each member's depositing in the hands of the treasurer general for this society (in lieu of bills on the pay master general for the united army of the United States) public security of the State of New Hampshire, to the amount of one month's pay for his services; which security, by the members who have now signed, and who shall sign previous to the next meeting of this society, shall be deposited on the adjournment, in the hands of the treasurer general.
Voted, That the secretary be directed, to make out a copy of the proceedings of the society, at this meeting, together with a notification to such persons as have a right to join the order; that they may give their attendance at the time and place, to which this society shall think proper to adjourn; and that he cause the same to be published, in the New Hampshire Gazette.
Voted, That the society do adjourn to Wednesday the seventh day of January next, at ten of the clock in the forenoon; then to meet at this place.
JOHN SULLIVAN, President.
By order of the Society,
EBEN. SULLIVAN, Sec'y.
In obedience to the foregoing direction, I hereby notify all officers, now residing in the State of New Hampshire, who have served three years and upwards as officers, in the service of the United States of America, either in the army or navy; as well those who have resigned with honor or been deranged by resolutions of Congress, as those now in actual service: That they have by the institution, a right to become members of the society, and are desired (if they see cause) to give their attendance for that purpose, at the house of Col. Samuel Folsom, in Exeter, on Wednesday the seventh day of January next, at ten of the clock in the forenoon, By order of the society,

I R E L A N D.
Dublin, Sept. 5. This day exhibited a sight at which humanity shrinks back appalled. Thousands of starving and industrious weavers in the woollen branch made a procession through all the principal streets of the capital, with the golden fleece, which formerly fed, clothed and diffused happiness among millions, wrapped up in black, truly picturesque of the lamentable situation to which the sons of industry are now reduced by the deplorable state of the manufactures of Ireland. The fleece was carried by several of these children of want in deep mourning, attended by an innumerable crowd of their brethren in distress, in mourning cloaks, bat bands, and weepers. They had in their bands scutules, alas! without even west! Others had banners with mottoes: "Protecting Duties, or ways and means to live."
They distributed hand bills through the city, stating in a modest narrative, their present situation, imploring the protection of their countrymen and fellow citizens. In their various progress through the town they conducted themselves with propriety, and without any riot or unlucky circumstance taking place, the surest means of securing the countenance and interest of those who will them employment and happiness.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 15.
By the United States in Congress assembled, October 18, 1783.
Resolved, That two pieces of the field ordnance taken from the British army at the Cowpens, Augusta, or Eutaw, be presented by the Commander in Chief of the armies of the United States, to Major General Greene, as a public testimonial of the wisdom, fortitude, and military skill, which distinguished his command in the southern department, and of the eminent services which, amidst complicated difficulties and dangers, and against an enemy greatly superior in numbers, he has successfully performed for his country; and that a memorandum be engraven on the said pieces of ordnance, expressive of the substance of this resolution.
Resolved, That the Commander in Chief be informed that Major General Greene has the permission of Congress to visit his family at Rhode Island.
Extract from the Minutes.
GEORGE BOND, Deputy Sec'y.
By the United States in Congress assembled, October 29, 1783.
On the report of a Committee, to whom was referred a letter from Major General Lincoln:
Resolved, That the resignation of Major General Lincoln, as Secretary at War for the United States, be accepted, in consideration of the earnest desire which he expresses (the objects of the war being so happily accomplished) to retire to private life; and that he be informed, that the United States, in Congress assembled, entertain a high sense of his perseverance, fortitude, activity and meritorious service in the field, as well as of his diligence, fidelity and capacity in the execution of the office of Secretary at War, which important trusts he has discharged to their entire approbation.
Resolved, That notwithstanding the foregoing acceptance, it is the intention of Congress, that General Lincoln shall continue to exercise the duties of Secretary at War until the 12th day of November next.
We learn from Canada, and the frontiers of New York, that the crops have entirely
failed in those parts, owing entirely to an exceeding and uncommon wet season. In Canada the prospect is dreadful, and unless they receive seasonable and ample supplies of grain, &c. from other quarters of the continent, the depopulation of that province must inevitably be the consequence.
There is a garrison still at St. John's, in Canada, consisting of two British regiments, some of Sir John Johnston's corps, and other Loyalists. There is also a small garrison at the Isle of Noix and Point au Fare, in Lake Champlain.
Canada is overstocked at present with solid coin, which is chiefly in the possession of generous and hospitable peasants, the merchants and traders being all in a state of bankruptcy — their credit being merely nominal; the British agents there having stopped payment for near a twelvemonth past.
Tuesday last all the Hessian troops which composed part of the British garrison at New York, embarked on board twenty five transports, and sailed for Europe, to the very great embarrassment of their numerous creditors.
NEW YORK, November 24.
THE Committee appointed to conduct the Order of receiving their Excellencies Governor CLINTON and General WASHINGTON,
Beg leave to inform their fellow citizens, that the troops under the command of Major General Knox, will take possession of the city at the hour agreed, on Tuesday next: As soon as this may be performed, he will request the Citizens who may be assembled on horseback at the Bowling Green, the lower end of the Broad Way, to accompany him to meet their Excellencies Governor CLINTON and General WASHINGTON, at the Bull's Head in the Bowery. The Citizens on foot assemble at or near the Tea Water Pump at Fresh Water.
ORDER OF PROCESSION.
A party of Horse will precede their Excellencies, and will be on their flanks. After the General and Governor, will follow the Lieutenant Governor and Members of the Council for the temporary Government of the southern parts of the State. The Gentlemen on horse back, eight in front; those on foot, in the rear of the horse, in like manner. Their Excellencies after passing down Queen street, and the line of the troops up the Broad Way, will alight at Cape's Tavern.
The Committee hope to see their Fellow Citizens conduct themselves with decency and decorum on this joyful occasion.
CITIZENS TAKE CARE!!
The inhabitants are informed that permission has been obtained from the Commandant, to form themselves in patrols this night, and that every order requisite will be given to the guards, as well to aid and assist, as to give protection to the patrols. And that the Countersign will be given to Thomas Tucker, No. 51, Walnut street; from whom it may be obtained if necessary.
It is requested that such of the inhabitants who are not on the patrols, and sickness does not prevent, will keep themselves awake.
It is also desired, for the sake of order, that the gentlemen who have been heretofore appointed to superintend the nightly watches, do call their districts together at an early hour.
CHATHAM, (New-Jersey) November 19.
The mail that was stolen from the Post Office at Princeton, on the 30th ult. was
found last week in Dr. Witherspoon's meadow, at that place: It was rifled of a few articles, but the Continental Treasurer' notes, are all safe.
B O S T O N, December 1.
Mr. James Rivington, Printer of the "Royal Gazette," in the city of New-York, has concluded to remain there; and in his paper of the 19th ult. informs his readers that his paper in future will be stiled "Rivington's New-York Gazette."
We learn that a fire broke out at the Brewery, on Brewery hill, in the city of New-York, last Monday night, which was entirely consumed, with the adjacent buildings.
The Tuesday after the violent storm the 19th instant, the dead body of a seaman was found at Truro, supposed to belong to some vessel which foundered at sea; also, some articles of house furniture: since which several other dead bodies have been taken up, which appear to be fishermen. Part of the hull of a vessel, some sails, rigging, &c. have also been drove ashore at that place.
DECEMBER 4. Last Saturday night about six minutes before eleven o'clock, a small shock of an Earthquake was felt in this and the adjacent towns.
The London Recorder of October 5. contains the Definitive Treaty, between Great-Britain and the United States of America, signed at Paris, the third day of September 1783. — And Lloyd's Evening Post of October 8, contains the Definitive Treaty of Peace and Friendship between his Britannic Majesty and the Most Christian King, signed at Versailles the 3d of September 1783; and the Definitive Treaty of Peace & Friendship, between his Britannic Majesty and the King of Spain, signed at Versailles the 3d day of September 1783 — All which being verbatim of the Preliminary Articles we think it needless to republish them.
S A L E M, December 4.
The ship Venus, Capt. Thomas Lee, arrived here since our last from Gibraltar. On the 12th of October, which was the day before Capt. Lee sailed, the ship Tartar, Capt. Forrester, belonging to Philadelphia, arrived at Gibraltar from Amsterdam.
On Saturday night last, at about 11 o'clock, a small shock of an Earthquake was felt in this and several of the neighbouring towns.
From a cursory perusal of some London papers to the 7th October, it appears that no accounts were received in London of the commencement of hostilities between Russia and Turkey, though the warlike preparations of each, by the last advices, were carrying on in much the same manner as they had been for five or six months preceding. — The Preliminary Articles between Britain and Holland, have been mutually ratified.
PORTSMOUTH, December 6.
On Monday last, died in this town, much regretted by his friends and acquaintance, Mr. ALEXANDER HENDERSON, aged 27, a native of Great-Britain, who came to live among us; tho' late (by the locality of his birth, he was considered in the light of an enemy,) yet his agreeable and modest deportment, joined to his benevolence of heart, characterise him as a friend to mankind. Humanity bids us sympathise with his friends at the loss of so amiable a young man, who, from his steady attention to business, and from prospects rational and flattering, would undoubtedly have become a useful and honorable member of society, had not that grim tyrant to our existence, put an end to the projects of life! — His remains were decently interred on the Thursday following.
Ah! sad variety! To-day, we roll in pleasures, high in health; To-morrow brings pale sickness and sell care, And shades the scene, & blast the promis'd joy. How cheated in our prospects! how forlorn Are mortals! sure of nothing but of death!
And on Tuesday last, also died, Mr. Daniel Marshall, of this town, aged 24 years; who promis'd fair to make a useful member of society. — His remains are to be interred this day.

PUBLIC notice is hereby given, that a petition hath been preferred to the Ge- neral Court, by Enoch Hale, Esq; of Rindge, in the county of Cheshire, setting forth, that the passing over Connecticut river, is attend- ed with many difficulties, and at some sea- sons of the year impracticable: Wherefore, he prayed that he might have the liberty and privilege granted to him, his heirs and as- signs forever, of the building and keeping in repair a good and sufficient bridge over said river, at or near the great falls, (commonly called Bellowe's falls) in the town of Walpole, and that he, his heirs and assigns, might be entitled to receive the same pay for passen- gers &c. &c. as is usually given for ferrying across said river.
Upon which petition, the General Court ordered, that the petitioner may be heard thereon before the General Assembly, on the second Thursday of the next session, and that in the mean time the petitioner cause that the substance of the petition and order of Court thereon, be published three weeks successively in the New Hampshire Gazette, that any person or persons may then appear and shew cause (if any they have) why the prayer thereof may not be granted.

JAMES DYKE, and others, a committee in behalf of the inhabitants of Antrim, having preferred a petition to the General Court, setting forth, that said town was not granted to any set of men, nor any land gi- ven for public use; that the non residents do not incline to sell or settle any of their land, and therefore they are unable to settle public worship among them.—Wherefore, they prayed that a tax may be levied upon all the land in said town, for the sole purpose of building a meeting-house, and purchasing a ministerial lot of land.
Upon which petition, the General Court ordered that the petitioners may be heard thereon, before the General Assembly (if they see fit) on the first Tuesday of the next ses- sion; and that in the mean time, the peti- tioners cause that the substance of the peti- tion, and order of Court thereon, be publish- ed three weeks successively in the New- Hampshire Gazette, that any person or persons may then appear and shew cause, if any they have, why the prayer thereof may not be granted.

TO BE SOLD AT
AT the house of Mr. Benjamin Lamson, in Exeter, on Wednesday the 10th day of December inst. at 3 o'clock P. M. by Capt. Jonathan Tilton, and Daniel Tuton, administrators to the estate of Capt.

To be sold Three Lots of Land in NEW DURHAM, all joining together, contain- ing about 400 acres, within three miles of the meeting house. Enquire of Capt. Peter Drown, living in said town, or at the printing office in Portsmouth.

B EING fully sensible of the difficulty of persons in general, making payments at this time in cash, especially by those living in the country; but as this is the usual season of the year for disposal of country produce, said Moulton takes this opportunity and method to acquaint all those who are indebted to him, either in the lower towns, or in the country, by notes, bonds, or otherwise, for money; that he is ready to receive any kind of merchantable country produce, viz. Beef, or beef cattle, pork, wheat, rye, Indian corn or peas, and allow the current price, and take it either at his house in Hampton, or at his store at Centre-Harbour, in New-Hampton, or at his plantation in Orford.—And those who are disposed to make payment, are desired to deliver the same any time between the 15th and 30th of this instant, at either of those places, as may be most convenient for them, as proper attendance will be given at each place.—And for their encouragement of making payment as aforesaid, he will deduct ten per cent. of the nominal sum; and to such as will pay only one half, he will abate five per cent.
As said Moulton's interest and business requires large sums yearly to be paid by him for taxes, and many other remittances; he earnestly requests those that are indebted to him in manner aforesaid, that they will particularly attend to the foregoing requisition, or rather an invitation, and comply with one so reasonable. As he is under such a necessity, he hopes that no one so indebted, will fail of making some considerable payment: And as said Moulton is possessed of a number of notes given for corn, wheat, &c. at a price commonly called the old way, viz. in corn at 3s. per bushel, wheat at 6s. per bushel, beet at 20s. per hundred, pork at 30s. per hundred; and notwithstanding at the time of making the contract, and at the time of payment, and place of delivery, those articles would have sold at about double of those prices for silver money; yet, considering the circumstances of many people indebted to him, living in the counties of Strafford and Grafton, and to testify that he does not desire to take that advantage of them, and to encourage them to make payment within five weeks from this date, he informs them that he will receive the same articles, and at the simple prices as specified in their respective obligations, and at the places of delivery; or cash at the same rate, in lieu thereof.—And for the encouragement of all those who are indebted to him in the county of Rockingham,
with so reasonable a request, he hopes will not complain if payment be exacted of them according to the tenor of their notes.
Mr. Dearborn's SCHOOL for MISSES and BOYS, will be continu'd thro' the ensuing Winter.
TO BE SOLD, A VALUABLE FARM in Gilmantown, consisting of about 130 acres of land, with an house, barn, orchard, &c. thereon, being the real estate of the late Jabez Tucker, of Salisbury, in the commonwealth of the Massachusetts, deceased.—For particulars inquire of Benjamin Evans, of Salisbury, administrator to said estate, or of the widow of said deceased, now living on said premises.
THE non-resident proprietors of New-Durham in the county of Strafford, in the State of New Hampshire, are hereby advertised that their lands in said town are taxed for the year 1782, by a second list and assessment committed to me to collect; and unless those who are delinquent pay the several sums due upon their said lands, with legal costs, unto me at my dwelling-house in said town, on or before the 30th day of December next, so much thereof will be sold at public vendue, at the dwelling-house of Mr. John Bennett, innholder in said town, upon said 30th day, at ten o'clock, A. M. as will be sufficient to discharge said taxes, with incidental charges.
