PARIS, Aug. 25.
Letters from Vienna say, that the Count Kaunitz, and Prince Lichtenstein, have been charged by the Emperor to go to the frontiers to receive the daughter of Louis XVI. having agreed to accept the relations of the late king in exchange for the deputies.
AUG. 27.
We yesterday announced that Madame de Bourbon was out of prison; we now publish the liberation of Madame de Orleans, and the ci-devant Prince of Condi.
We are assured that the English have made a descent on Flushing, and that the Dutch have repulsed them.
AUG. 29.
We learn from Basse that the work of peace was terminated; but the information was premature. It is true, however, that the negotiations advance. The arrival of the Deputies Reubell and Merlin, is a proof that a finish will soon be put to the treaty.
The Chevalier d'Yriarte, the Spanish minister labours with great ardour, the pacification of the Italian States.
Our armies, it is positively said, have crossed the Rhine.
The Republicans of the camp of Marly without arms, this morning accepted the new Constitution, amidst the cries of Vive la Republique, and firings of cannon. A single man only, a corporal, when the Constitution was presented to him for acceptance said, "I will not agree to it." "Thou art free, it was answered, thou mayest explain the motives which determine thy conduct." He re-entered his tent, and was ashamed to see the Constitution accepted by all his comrades. When all had given their assent, they demanded to be placed to their guns, and a general discharge announced to the Delfots, that Republicans are not to be vanquished, as the Royalists would have it believed.
LONDON, Aug. 12.
A letter from Genoa, dated the 10th ult. contains the following: "Capt. Freemantle, of the Inconstant frigate, has taken two very rich French prizes, bound from Marseilles to Constantinople, laden with gold and presents for the use of the Grand Seigneur and Vizier: The value of this capture is estimated at upwards of 25,000l."
General Kolschulcow is said to have nearly lost his sight in consequence of having his wounds heated too soon. One of the faculty has, however, undertaken his cure.
Critical review of Public Affairs.
LONDON.
The Americans have, without proceeding to extremities, wisely adjusted the imaginary grievances, which had caused an insurrection in their western territories, and that with a temper and moderation, which indicates the general mildness of their Government.
Their negotiations with Great-Britain, respecting some differences which the erection of certain forts on the borders of Canada, and the seizure of their ships, had occasioned, have been concluded with equal success; and a treaty of Amity and Commerce is signed between their Republic and this Kingdom.
AUG. 26.
Letters from Hamburg, from persons of the best information, state, that one of the secret articles in the late Treaty between Spain and France is, that Spain has engaged to pay 200 millions of livres, as a dought for being reinstated, in all its possessions.
WHITESTOWN, Sept. 23.
At the present time, throughout the whole of this western country, sickness and death prevail beyond what has ever before been experienced since its first settlement. Scarce a family escapes; and numbers of whole families labour under the affliction of a dreadful disease. The diseases most prevalent, are, the Lake (or Genesee) fever; the intermittent fever, and the fever and ague.
The lake fever handles its votaries very roughly; and many are forced to yield to its unrelenting sway.
We have, however, authority to say, that the lake fever is not confined wholly to lake towns,—but is frequent in the most inland towns.
Extract of a letter from Knoxville, Sept. 15.
"Since my last, containing an account of the peace which had taken place between the Creeks and Chickasaws, that perfidious and deceitful nation has broken it, and marched upwards of a 1000 warriors against the small and friendly nation of Chickasaws. How this business will terminate, I am at a loss to conjecture—but I am informed the Chickasaws are strongly fortified, keep a look out, and are determined to give the Creeks a warm reception. What a shame it is that the United States will suffer such warm friends to them as the Chickasaws are, and have always been to be cut off by the Creeks—friendship and humanity shudder at the idea of their not meeting full and ample protection, as the vengeance of the Creeks is pointed against them on account of their revenging the many murders and depredations committed on their brethren the Americans."
ALBANY, Oct. 9.
The treaty at Fort-George has broke up without coming to any issue on the business of its meeting. The Indians insisted on their claim to an expensive tract of land in this State—The real Indian title to which was extinguished long before the late war by purchases made of the Mohawk Indians, then considered as the sole
proprietors of the soil—And it is but a very few years since the Indians of St. Regis even suggested their present claim.—The Commissioners would not acknowledge it in any sense, but offered the Indians as a gratuity Three Thousand Dollars—This they refused.
The Indians wrote a letter on the subject, to the President of the United States—and the conference ended in perfect good harmony.—There were about 370 Indians present.
An Embargo on all Grain is laid in the province of Lower-Canada to continue till the tenth of December.

MR. PRENTISS,
Enclosed for publication is a copy of the letter of the President of the United States, in answer to that enclosing the proceedings of the deputation of Brunswick district, on the subject of the treaty lately negotiated with the King of Britain, &c.
I am with respect Sir, &c. SAMUEL HOPKINS, jun.
PRESIDENT'S REPLY.
United States, 14th Sept. 1795.
SIR,
I received your letter of the 26th ult. enclosing the address of the deputies of the district of Brunswick, expressing their hopes that my signature might be withheld from the treaty lately negotiated with Great-Britain.
It must be already generally known, that my decision upon the Treaty had been made before the deputies of Brunswick held their meeting.
However, I have seen no reasons, either before or since the treaty received my assent, which shake my deliberate opinion, that in ratifying the Treaty I have consulted the true interests of my country.
It would have been pleasing to me to have found a universal concurrence of my fellow-citizens in the same opinion; and I flatter myself, that what diversity of sentiment exists, will daily diminish.
With due respect, &c.
G. WASHINGTON. Samuel Hopkins, Jun. Esq.
NEW-YORK, Oct. 13.
Accounts by the Ceres, Capt. Howland, from Dublin, state that the defenders are every day increasing in numbers and resolution. On the night of the 18th of August, three hundred of them entered the City of Dublin, and had got to Summer Hill, within one mile of the castle, when they were dispersed by the cavalry.
USEFUL INVENTION.
[From a late Philadelphia Paper.]
A very interesting discovery has lately been made here in the art of paper making, by a Mr. Biddis. It is likely to reduce the price of that important article, by producing a saving of rags. The invention consists in reducing saw-dust to a pulp, mixing it with the pulp of rags—and forming the paper from this mixture. We have seen a specimen of paper made in this way, certified to be composed of one fourth of the pulp of saw-dust, the remainder rags. The body and surface of the paper appear as good as usual, the colour verges a trifle towards a greenish yellow, which we think could be effectually remedied by indigo.
We understand, that in paper of a coarser kind, a greater proportion of saw-dust may be used, even in some as far as three fourths. Mr. Biddis has erected a mill upon the principle of his invention and taken out a patent, a right to which he proposes selling to one person in each of the States. The saw-dust of all our woods may be used for this manufacture, though some are preferable to others.
A FRAGMENT.
IT was an old invalid soldier. He was bent like a bow with the weight of years and the fatigues of a military life, and he subsisted, he said, from a small pension which he regularly received every quarter at the Loan Office; since, added he, our new government has been established. His appearance affected me, so I sat down by him. "Do Sir, said he "tell me what can be the reason why we hear so much complaint from Boston, and other great towns, and see so much mobbing and confusion?" I told him, it was said to be occasioned by a Commercial treaty with England, and though the merchants, whose interest were most essentially affected by it, were in favour of it, there were others who loudly condemned it. He did not appear to comprehend the subject—He paused a few minutes, and then with eyes swimming in tears of gratitude, asked, "Is General WASHINGTON in favor of it?" He is, my friend, cried I.—He was again silent for a moment, when putting his hand on mine he said, "If I could revisit earth after I had been dead for years, and should hear any public question agitated, which involved the great interest of my country, the first question I should ask, would be, "Is George Washington alive? If he was, I would next inquire if he approved it; and if he did, I should retire in peace to my grave." The old soldier ended, and I left the inn much better I think than I entered it.
CONCORD, (N. H.) Oct. 10.
The first battalion in the 11th regiment of militia, commanded by Major Wm. Duncan, met on Wednesday last in this town, for the purpose of a military muster. The other Field Officers of the regiment gave their attendance, and the battalion was reviewed by Lt. Col. Head, commandant of the regiment. The militia in general were well equipt, and appeared emulous of duty and the military art: Capt.
Kimball's cavalry, and Capt. Davis's light infantry, made a brilliant appearance both in dress and in exercise.—In the evening, the Field and Staff officers of the regiment, with a number of the commissioned officers of the battalion, and citizens of the town, partook of an elegant supper at Stickney's Hall—where Federalism and attachment to our free Government were "the order of the Evening." The following toasts, which were given on the occasion, we presume contain the sentiments of the citizens, both civil and military, in this part of New-Hampshire:
 1. America—May the Virtues of her Sons increase with her Wealth.  2. The Federal Constitution—May the true Patriots of our Country ever support it.  3. President Washington—Long may he preside, and his Judgment shine as in his Answers to the late Addresses.  4. The American Senate—May their late decision on Mr. Jay's Negotiation prove a blessing to the United States.  5. The Honorable Samuel Livermore—May Wisdom and Integrity continue to be his Guide to Popularity.  6. France—May she sheath her sword under a free Government.  7. The Marquis de la Fayette—May his midnight darkness be soon changed for meridian light.  8. The State of New Hampshire—May her Country Citizens never afford an asylum to the ions of anarchy and sedition.  9. Governor Gilman—May he ever remain firm in supporting the Laws of his Country.*  10. Concord—May the hearts of her Sons be ever united to defend the Constitution ratified within her borders.†  11. The Militia of New Hampshire—May their arms be remembered when their rights are invaded.  12. General Wayne—May the Peace he has concluded with the Indians be perpetual.  13. Our Countrymen in Captivity—May their savage treatment be soon changed—and they welcomed to their native shore.  14. May every day of festivity be sacred to the memory of those who fell in defence of American freedom.  15. May every Traitor to the American Government, receive the reward due to Arnold. 
* It is said this Patriot expressed his determination of marching at the head of the militia, to suppress the rioters at Portsmouth, if the friends to order there were unable to prevent their further excesses.
† The Convention of this State, which was the ninth that ratified the Federal Constitution, held its session in this town. The revision of our State Constitution was likewise approved at a Conventional session in the same place.
MR. MEICHER, Please to republish the following. A. M.
From the Philadelphia Gazette.
MR. BROWN, I OBSERVE in the newspapers, that it seems to be universally taken for granted, that the President has a negative on the proceedings of the senate, respecting the treaty with Great-Britain. We are informed, that petitions are framing, to be presented to him, to withhold his assent to the treaty; and that wagers to a considerable amount, have been actually laid, that he will accede to it, or reject it, according as the wishes or principles of persons have preponderated on the subject. I confess, Sir, I have been a little surprised at all this; because I by no means think the position an obvious and undeniable one, that the President has a controuling power, in the present stage of the business, on what the Senate have done.
The words of the constitution are, "he (the President) shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present, concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers, and consuls, judges of the supreme court, and all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law.
From these expressions it is clear, the President can make no treaty, nor appoint an ambassador, without the consent and advice of the Senate. It is, therefore, of great importance to ascertain the time when this consent and advice of the Senate is to be given, and the force and meaning of the expressions. In the usual and ordinary method of appointing officers, the moment the Senate consent to the nomination made by the President, and advise him to make the appointment, it is allowed, on all hands, he is constitutionally obliged to appoint such officer. The Senate indeed make use of the words, "consent and advice," in reply to the President's nomination of persons to fill offices. But these words are the technical and constitutional language prescribed to them; and while they deprive him of all option as to the appointment, do clearly imply an obligation to appoint on the part of the President. In the case of a treaty being laid before the Senate, and their giving their consent, and advising the President to ratify it, I can see no reason why a similar construction should not be adopted. The words are the same in both cases, except that in the appointment of officers, the word "nominate," is necessarily introduced. The treaty, in the first instance, is made by the President—and he may therefore be considered as having constitutionally used that power of making treaties, with the consent and advice of the Senate, which the constitution has given him. His laying it afterwards before the Senate for their advice and consent, is not merely with a view to consult them or take their opinion. If this
were the case, the Senate of the United States would be a collection of mere cyphers. If the President can, in this manner, put his veto on their "advice and consent" (words which I apprehend are equivalent to an order or command) it is evident, that instead of the Senate having any real power in the making of treaties, they will not have even the shadow of it. The President will be the sole maker of all treaties; and should it happen, which is very possible, that the Senate unanimously consent to a treaty and advise the ratification of it, still the President may refuse to follow their advice and overrule the opinion of the whole Senate. However clearly and unanimously they may concur in the idea, that the treaty is highly beneficial to their country, yet the opinion of a single man is sufficient to outweigh the united judgment of the whole Senate on this most interesting question. This doctrine does not look very republican; and seems to clash with the general principles of the constitution, which has guarded, with extreme caution, against trusting power in the hands of one, in opposition to the wishes and opinions of many.
Let it be supposed, the President receives a treaty from a foreign minister, and that he cordially disapproves of it. The Senate, however, on his laying it before them, think quite differently, and unanimously give their consent to it, and advise him to ratify it.
In this case, pray, Mr. Brown, whose opinion is to decide the question? Is the President, by refusing to ratify the treaty, to defeat the wishes of the United States, as expressed by the united voice of the whole national body? I confess, Sir, I extremely doubt whether this be the genuine construction of the federal constitution—it would rather seem, the power he has of making treaties, with the advice and consent of two-thirds of the Senators, should be deemed to extend no further than his making them, in the first instance, through the medium or channel of the foreign ministers, and that, when laid before the Senate, their opinion is final thereon.
This construction will satisfy the words of the constitution, without making a cypher of the President on the one hand, or of the whole senatorial body on the other. The President, according to this idea, will possess the power of making treaties, but not to the exclusion of the Senate. And the Senate, by their "consent and advice," will possess the ultimatum on the subject of foreign treaties, which the constitution has vested in them.
What are the forms of making treaties by the executive of the United States, I am not certainly informed; but have understood, he sends abroad the minister, without previously communicating to the Senate the instructions given to him. A treaty, therefore, made under such circumstances, may, with great propriety, be viewed as one made by the President within the words of the constitution. And it would be strange to say, that he should not only have the first concoction of the treaty, but the ultimate power of rejecting it, in opposition to the Senate; making them a parcel of non-entities. And on the other hand, even if the instructions for the use of the ambassador, drawn up by the President, are laid before the Senate, and approved of by them, I do not see how this could alter the case; because the President by such act, has exercised his power in making the treaty, and therefore can never afterwards controul the vote of the Senate, approving or rejecting such treaty.
In short, Mr. Brown, the construction that will be most agreeable to the scope, spirit, and genius of the constitution, and at all times hereafter safe for the United States (for too much power cannot be trusted to the present illustrious character who fills the office of the executive) will be, to consider the President's laying a treaty before the Senate, in the same light as his nominating a gentleman to an office. In this latter case, their consent and advice is equivalent to a command, and carries with it a constitutional obligation to appoint the person nominated. In like manner, their consent to a treaty made by the President, and their advice to him to ratify it, are final, conclusive, and obligatory upon him. In both cases, he is contemplated by the constitution as the agent, the instrument, or prime mover in the business. But it is the Senate, strictly speaking, who make the treaty, and appoint the officer, through the means and by the assistance of the President; who possesses the power indeed of bringing the objects into the view and contemplation of that body—and that is all.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 27. Last Sunday evening arrived the brig Mary and Elizabeth, Capt. Maffet, from Curacoa—who informs that the negroes there had revolted, but were soon suppressed by the interference of the mariners, &c. On board two Dutch frigates which lay in port, aided by the inhabitants: 300 of the former were killed and taken, together with their ringleaders, previous to his sailing. He says that all was tranquil, and good order perfectly restored in that island before he left it.

Peleg West, put into the Hook, in distress for provisions, main and foremast sprung, 8 weeks from Dunkirk bound to Philadelphia. Passengers Mr. Francis Macey and family, in good health. Crew also well. Capt. West left Dunkirk on the 19th August. He brings but little news—says however, that the English account of Charette's having 30,000 men, was false; on the contrary, that there was no possibility of his making head against the Carmagnoles in their present spirit. That accounts of Peace with the Empire were every day expected: General Pichegru was laying on his arms, had not crossed the Rhine. That the crops were all in, in as great abundance as was ever known—provisions were plenty, and much cheaper than in New-York; meats of various kinds not more than 3d. per pound.—No Market for corn, nor rice. Eight brigs lay here armed with 18 and 24 pounders; business brisk.
BOSTON, Oct. 28. From MALAGA. By Capt. Trask from Malaga, we learn, that information had been received there from Gibraltar, stating, that an insurrection had broke out in the dominions of the Emperor of Morocco, and that Muley Soliman, had been driven from his capital by his brother, commonly called the Black Prince. In consequence, it was expected, that the treaty lately renewed by Mr. Simpson, with Muley, would not be considered binding on his brother, should he prove victorious; and that our commerce would be liable, from the circumstance, to interruption: As confirmatory proof of the intelligence, several Venetian men of war, on a voyage to Morocco, with presents for the Emperor, hearing of the insurrection had deserted entering his ports.—It was also said, that several Moorish cruisers were at sea; and had carried in several Venetian and Swedish vessels. Capt. T. saw a letter from Mr. Simpson, who mentioned the insurrection, but did not expect any serious ill consequences from it, as Muley Soliman was raising forces to proceed against his rebellious brother; and was of opinion would succeed in quelling the insurrection.
OCTOBER 31. The most recent accounts from Europe, are by an arrival at Halifax. At the latest date there were no prospects of a general peace. The English having changed the object of their warfare, appear now determined to contend for indemnification.—An hundred millions expended, and all for nought, is a serious business with Mr. JOHN BULL; and the only hope of indemnification, is the delusive one of an attack on the Spanish settlements in South America. The English have always considered a Spanish war, as a ready money war.
NOVEMBER 2. Latest from FRANCE. Captain Morton*, of the brig Amphion, from Bourdeaux, which place he left on the 15th of September, informs, that previous to his sailing, it was currently reported and believed that Commissioners had been sent by the Convention to England to Treat for PEACE.
He confirms the report that markets are low, provisions plentiful, and all kinds of meat; vegetables a third cheaper than in our market.—That there was a report, that Peace was made with the Emperor—Nothing is to be seen or heard of in Bourdeaux, but gaiety and harmony amongst all ranks; and less news about the war than in this country.
Nothing was said about the Vendéens—they are only looked on as a banditti that can be easily exterminated, but the Convention with rather to adopt lenient measures. About 150 American vessels were lying at Bourdeaux from different ports—The inhabitants are partial to the Americans, and treat them with great civility and kindness. No accounts of any naval, or other engagement, later than we have already given an account of.
*Arrived at New-York. From NEW-YORK. The fever at New-York, has materially abated; and it is asserted many of those who had deserted it are daily returning; the commercial coffee-houses are more frequented, and business begins to resume its former station—On Sunday last, only 4 persons died there.
MELANCHOLY. Yesterday an Elizabeth ferry-boat was upset by a whirlwind, within the kils, going from this city with 19 passengers, several of whom were unhappily drowned.
Extracts of a letter from a gentleman in Kingston, Jamaica, to his friend in New-London, dated Aug. 20.
"Ever since your departure we have been in a chaos of confusion and alarm: first our hurry by the arrival of the fleet, and edly, the fear of insurrection from the conduct of the Maroons in Trelawney."
"This is the 3d week of martial law. Lord Balcarres has himself taken the field with 500 men. Major Berry with part of the flank companies marched last week, about 30 miles into the mountains; with most of the troop of horse. So far my duty has been comparatively light. I raised in 5 days a volunteer company of musketeers and dragoons, 85 fine young lads, but am allowed only 50 for this service. There has been an embargo these 5 weeks past."
Translated for the Gazette of the United States, from a late Paris paper. Aug. 17. We have a certain account that 1500 Emigrants have lately landed at St. Giles, and have marched to join the army of Charette. The Plague has made terrible ravages at Tunis:—it has carried off from four score to one hundred persons per day. As the communication between that place and France is so frequent; it will be prudent to exercise the greatest precaution against the infection, especially at Marseilles. (And it will be prudent for the citizens of America likewise to be on their guard against infection from our communication with Marseilles.)
SALEM, Oct. 20. Capt. Peter Lander arrived here since our last from Bourdeaux. He informs, that that city was plentifully supplied with every necessary of life—that flour was as cheap there as in America, and every other species of provision much cheaper—and that France is blest with the richest harvest ever known. La Vendée continued an unconquered evil to the nation; it could not be denied, that the rebels were numerous, powerful and terrible; it was unsafe to travel in the environs of Nantes; prisoners made on either side were immediately executed without ceremony; and this civil war was carried on with dreadful marks of ferocity and barbarity. The national troops, from the borders of Spain had marched to destroy them; and from their efforts the public tranquility was hoped.—The English were unequivocally Lords of the sea. The French navy were in different ports, and neither squadron forcible enough to go to sea, in the face of a most formidable British fleet. The latter still lay against Belleisle; which, however, they will never be able to take; they also blockade the port of Nantes.
Treasury of the United States, August 24th, 1795.
NOTICE is hereby given to all persons who are or may be creditors of the United States, for any sums of the funded debt, or stock, bearing a present interest of six per centum per annum.
1st. That pursuant to an act of Congress, passed on the third day of March, 1795, intitled, "An act making further provision for the support of public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt," there will be reimbursed and redeemed, on the first day of January ensuing, the rate or proportion of two per centum of the principal of the debt or stock, expressed in the certificates issued to the said creditors respectively.
2d. The said reimbursements will be made at the Treasury of the United States, or at the Loan Offices where the said stock may stand credited at the close of the present year.
3d. The said reimbursements will be made to the said creditors in person, or to their attorneys duly constituted; but the powers of attorney which may be produced must contain an authority to receive the said reimbursement of principal, otherwise no more than the usual dividend of interest will be paid; and although the two per centum of principal to be redeemed, should not be demanded, yet the interest thereon will cease from the said first day of January next.
4th. To prevent the great trouble and expence which would attend a renewal of the certificates, in consequence of the said reimbursement of principal, it has been determined that no renewal shall be made: And further, that the certificates which may be issued during the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-six, in consequence of any transfers of the said six per cent. stock, shall notwithstanding the reimbursement of two per centum, as aforementioned, be expressed for the respective sums of the original capital stock. All persons who may negotiate the funded six per cent. stock of the United States, bearing a present interest, are therefore cautioned to observe, that during the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-six, the value or true amount of principal unredeemed of said debt or stock, will be ninety-eight per centum of the sums expressed in the certificates.
Given under my hand at Philadelphia, the day and year before mentioned, pursuant to directions of the Secretary of the Treasury. SAMUEL MEREDITH, Treasurer of the United States. Nov. 2, 1795.
BY HIS EXCELLENCY John T. Gilman, Esquire, GOVERNOR of the STATE of NEW-HAMPSHIRE.
A PROCLAMATION FOR A Public Thanksgiving.
SOCIETIES as well as Individuals being dependant upon the good pleasure of the Sovereign Lord and benevolent Parent of the Universe, for all blessings which they receive; and the God of all our Mercies having been graciously pleased to bestow many and great favors on the Inhabitants of this and the United States; it highly becomes us at this season, according to the laudable usage of the State, in a public and social manner, with humble acknowledgments of our dependence, and with an exalted sense of the blessings with which we are surrounded, to magnify his great and glorious name with devout hearts, and in elevated strains of Praise and Thanksgiving.
I have therefore thought fit, by and with the advice of Council, to appoint THURSDAY the TWELFTH DAY of NOVEMBER next to be observed as a day of PUBLIC THANKSGIVING throughout the State.
And I do earnestly recommend to Ministers and People, of every denomination, that they religiously dedicate said Day, and spend a reasonable part thereof in their respective places of public worship, that we may with grateful hearts and united voices adore, and praise Almighty God for the unmerited favors he has been graciously pleased to confer upon us—To thank him for the continuance of the blessings of Civil and Religious Liberty—For preventing contagious and mortal Disorders from spreading amongst us—For the general Health enjoyed throughout this State, and the remarkable plenty of the Fruits of the Earth—For the blessings of Peace we enjoy, notwithstanding the Tumults and Confusions of Contending Nations—For preserving the inestimable Life of the President of the United States—and above all, for the continuance of the blessings of the Gospel of Peace, the means of Grace, and Hope of future happiness through the merits of the Redeemer.
And together with our Thanksgiving, let us with humble and devout hearts entreat the Father of Mercies to continue the blessings with which we are favored, and bestow upon us such as we may stand in need of:—That he would keep the Government of the United States and of the several States under his holy protection: Cause all opposition to rightful authority to cease, and Unanimity to be restored and prevail throughout our common country; that those who have the management of our public affairs may have all that wisdom and prudence which is necessary to a rightful discharge of the several duties of their respective stations, and with all the people zealously endeavor to improve the days of prosperity by every good work, loving Peace and Tranquility; that it would please God to bless this State; prosper its civil Government; Encourage the means of Literature: Smile on our Husbandry, Commerce, Manufactures, Navigation and Fisheries: Succeed a preached Gospel—inspire us with Virtue, restrain us from Vice, and incline our hearts to keep all his Laws; that it would please him to extend his divine favors to the whole world of mankind; cause pure and undefiled Religion universally to prevail; and the Glories of his Name and Triumphs of his Grace to be known and acknowledged throughout all Nations.
And I do recommend that all persons religiously abstain from servile labor, and such recreations as are unbecoming the solemnity of the day. Given at the Council-Chamber in Exeter, this twelfth day of October, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-five, and of the independence of the United States of America the twentieth.
John T. Gilman. By his Excellency's command, with advice of Council. JOSEPH PEARSON, Sec'y.

State of New-Hampshire. NOTICE is hereby given that a petition was preferred to the General-Court, convened at Concord on the 16th day of January 1794, by John Hale, Esquire, and others, setting forth that the connection of the seaport towns in this State, with the internal part of the country might be made more convenient, by a direct highway from Concord to Portsmouth, than it now is between the country and any part of the seacoast in any other State; that the sum required for this purpose would be raised with the greatest difficulty from the several towns, but could probably be easily effected by an incorporation, who might indemnify themselves by a toll. Wherefore they pray that they may be incorporated under such limitations as the Court shall see fit, to make and keep in repair a turnpike road in the shortest direction from Concord to Piscataqua-Bridge, and with such tolls as may be thought proper. Whereupon it is ordered that the petitioners be heard before the General Court on the second Tuesday of the next session, to be held at Concord on the first Wednesday of December 1795, and that the petitioners cause that the substance of the petition and order of Court thereon be published three weeks successively in the New-Hampshire Gazette; commencing six 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 of said petition may not be granted.

NOTICE is hereby given that sundry inhabitants living on a tract of land known by the name of Tuftonborough, have petitioned the General-Court, setting forth that they labour under many inconveniences for want of an incorporation, and praying that said place may be incorporated into a township by the name of Tuftonborough. Upon which petition it is ordered that a day of hearing be had before the General-Court on the second Wednesday of their next session, and that in the mean time the petitioners cause that the substance of the petition and order of Court thereon, be published three weeks successively in the New-Hampshire Gazette, and posted up the like term of time, in some public place in the town of Tuftonborough, commencing six weeks prior to the sitting of said Court, that any person or persons may then appear and shew cause (if any they have) why the prayer thereof may not be granted. Attest, NATH'L PARKER, Dep'y Sec'y. Hanover, June 9th, 1795.
