New-Hampshire Election.
HANOVER, June 8. Last Wednesday arrived in this place, his Excellency the Governor, and Suit, attended by Capt. Colburn's light Horse, and received by Capt. Brigham's Infantry, with a Band of Music, and was escorted to his lodgings, where his arrival was announced by a discharge from the artillery.
On Thursday, at one o'clock P. M. a line of procession conducted by Adjutant General M c Clarey, was formed from the Council Cham- ber to the College Chapel; where an ingenious discourse was delivered by the Reverend JOHN SMITH; and an elegant ODE, composed and set to Music for the occasion, by Mr. Fessenden, was handsomely performed, with instruments and voices.
Procession as follows:— Capt. Brigham's Infantry, in complete uni- form; Band of Music; Committee; HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR; The Council; Secretary and Treasurer; Senate and Deputy Secretary; Speaker, Clerk, and Members of the House; President and Officers of the University; The Clergy; Spectators; &c. &c.
After the procession had returned, they par- took of a decent Dinner provided on the occa- sion.
The House of Representatives then conve- ned to canvass their votes for the first Magis- trate, when it appeared that his Excellency JOHN T. GILMAN, Esq. was chosen, by 9340 votes out of 9440.
The choice being declared, the following toasts were given, each accompanied by a dis- charge from the Artillery, under the command of Lieut. Wilcox.
TOASTS.
1. The Day—May our future Elections be as wise, free, and unanimous, as the present. 2. New-Hampshire—Tho' a planet, remote from the centre of our federal system, may she ever feel the benign influence of its solar rays, and reflect a glorious lustre on her sister ORBS. 3. The University of New-Hampshire—may it prove a perpetual light in the North. 4. The Hill of Science—May its sacred soil never be trodden by the unhallowed feet of Dunces. 5. Genius—May it, in America, find access to the treasurers of Mammon, without becoming his slave. 6. The Federal Government. 7. The illustrious Chief of Freemen. 8.

Superstition on her Death-bed—May her exit be easy, her burial decent, and her mourners clad with the garments of joy and liberality. 14. The Daughters of Columbia—May 'not a mile of theirs, but that of contempt, ever meet the man, who is too base to be virtuous, or too fardid to be free. 15. The victorious Host of enlightened free- men throughout the world—May they go on, "conquering and to conquer" till all the families of the earth shall become one and indivisible! The most perfect order and decorum pre- vailed through the day, and the amusements of it were concluded by a Ball, graced by a brilliant circle of the FAIR, and honored by the presence of his Excellency the Governor, and a number of respectable characters.

Foreign Intelligence.
By the latest Arrivals at Philadelphia and New-York, London Papers were received to May 5, from which the following is selected.
Of Peace.
LONDON, April 1—May 5.
If we may judge by the French Intelligence received by the last Paris papers, the negotiations between that country and Spain have been carrying on for a considerable time; and our information from different quarters, not only corroborates this circumstance, but adds, that the Treaty is actually signed. Captain White, an American, who arrived in the river on Monday last, at Dunkirk on Saturday last, at which time the Bells were ringing, in consequence of a Peace having been concluded with his Catholic Majesty. The master of the American ship Pallas, brings advice of a similar nature, from Bordeaux, with the addition, that Sardinia has also come to terms with France. Hostilities have ceased between the French and Spanish Armies, and the Articles of Peace are reported to be highly advantageous to the former.
It was yesterday reported, that the Emperor was determined to follow the example of Prussia, Spain and Sardinia; and that overtures to that effect had already been made by him to the Committee of Public Safety at Paris. Should the fact prove otherwise, the enemy will be enabled to call out such a force in Italy, from their armies of the Eastern and Western Pyrenees, now become disengaged, as must render the safety of his Imperial Majesty's possessions in that quarter extremely precarious if not totally incapable of making any resistance.
Since hostilities seem to have ceased even against the Austrians in Munster, which the French are evacuating, it is generally understood that peace is as good as concluded, and that a cessation of arms for six weeks was also agreed upon between the French and Imperialists.
April 11.
It was observed in the House of Peers, on Monday, that the Duke of Portland was much agitated, when Earl Fitzwilliam gave notice of his wish to bring forward the circumstances of his late recall. We are sorry to say, that his Grace went home ill; and he has since been so much indisposed, as to be obliged to call in the assistance of Doctor Warren.
April 20.
Reports were yesterday in very general circulation, that the Court of Spain had actually concluded a Treaty of Peace with the French Republic. Although we shall not be surprised to hear of such an event, yet we do not believe that it has yet taken place. The last dispatches from Madrid, are as late as the 16th inst. at which time, it was perfectly well known that a negotiation for Peace, was on foot, but not in that state of forwardness, as to make us suppose that any news of such an event, could be yet received in London.
Of War—Operations and Preparations.
The Spanish Ambassador, we are told, has communicated to the British Cabinet, the determination of the Court of Madrid, to co-operate with England, in the most active prosecution of the war through another campaign.
By the last Corunna Mail, we learn, that Admiral Don Juan Langara, failed from Mahon on the sixth instant, with 16 ships of the line and 8 frigates, to join Admiral Hotham's fleet.
Various are the causes assigned for Lord Hood's not going out with the Mediterranean Squadron. One is, that his Lordship thinks the reinforcement not sufficient; another, that, on account of the indisposition of Earl Howe, he has been prevailed upon to accept the command of the Channel fleet.
All accounts from the Mediterranean agree in stating, that both the English and French have again put to sea; And as Admiral Hotham has lately received a reinforcement, as well as the enemy, we flatter ourselves, that he will add another Laurel to his fame, should he be so fortunate as to fall in with them a second time.
Authentic information has been received from France, that the French Fleet is returned to Toulon in a very shattered state. The Sans Culotte has likewise reached that harbour. The troops are all disembarked and marched again into the interior of the country.
MAY 2.
The Report of the Committee of Public Safety on the 20th, may be considered as a proof, either that negotiation with Spain has not been entered into, or that it has failed of success, and that the war is to be prosecuted by the Republic with redoubled vigour. The proclamation to the inhabitants of the province of Guipulcoa, if strictly adhered to, will, perhaps, contribute as much to the further progress of the French, as the force of their arms.
MAY 5.
The Hamburg mail, of the 22d ult. brings a report that preliminaries of peace are nearly concluded between the French Republic, and the Landgrave of Hesse Cassel. In the north, hostilities have entirely ceased. The French troops have quitted the left bank of the Elms, and have evacuated the greater part of the district of Blenheim. There is a report at Ham-
burgh, that they are also to evacuate all the United Provinces, except the Frontier towns of Bois-le-duc, Breda, and Bergen-op-Zoom; the islands of Walcheren, and Cadland, and the town of Maestricht, which they are to retain in their possession.
By the mail we have received a copy of the Treaty of peace between the King of Prussia, and the French Republic, published officially at Berlin: It is expected the same as that read in the National Convention of France, of which we have already laid a translation before our readers.
It appears that the French are certainly engaged in negotiations for peace with more than one Power on the continent. Our letters from Italy, of the 4th ult. state that his majesty the King of Sardinia, has requested from the French Representative, at Nizza, a passport for an agent who is to go to Paris to commence negotiations for Peace—a request which was expected would be immediately granted. They add, that to hasten the business as much as possible, the Sardinian minister at Genoa, had also commenced negotiations with the French Representatives residing there.
PORTSMOUTH, April 14.
The following ships are to sail in a day or two, under the command of Lord Hood, for the Mediterranean, viz.
  Victory 110 { Lord Hood.   Zealous 74 { Capt. Knight.   Cumberland 74 { C. Mason.   Marlborough 74 { B. S. Rowley.   Tremendous 74 { H. Nichols.   Audacious 74 { S. J. Ballard.   Invincible 74 { A.

West. 
Lord Hood arrived here from London on Tuesday evening last.
Luxembourg and Mentz, are still besieged: but little impression has been made on either of those fortresses.
Miscellaneous Articles.
Which respect Spain.
At Madrid some Garded-du-corps and some Monks have lately been taken into custody, whose conduct had become suspicious.
A letter from Madrid, dated March 17th, contains the following curious facts: "A very dangerous conspiracy, which menaced the immediate subversion of the Government, has been discovered here. Ten thousand of the mobility of this capital and the neighbouring villages, marshalled and conducted by able leaders, had formed the wicked design of surrounding the Royal Palace, and massacring the Ministers, who are exceedingly obnoxious to the Spanish Jacobins. Very fortunately, the particulars of this plot were communicated to the Executive Power by some of the conspirators and the necessary measures were adopted to check and suppress the premeditated insurrection. Some men who have hitherto retained immaculate characters, are deeply involved in this desperate design, and will soon suffer the punishment due to their temerity, in the Great Square."
Which respect France.
In the sitting of the National Convention of the 16th instant, Tallien, in the name of the committee of public safety, made a report on the crimes which had sullied the French conquests in Spain, particularly in the provinces of Guipulcoa and Biscay, where the inhabitants, friends of liberty, were waiting to receive the French as brethren.
Saint Sebastian, said he, has opened its gates with acclamations of joy; but the entrance of the French troops within the walls of that city, has been distinguished by pillage, and the most unheard of cruelties. The Priests have been arrested; the monks and nuns have been torn from their cloisters, have been heaped in carts, and dragged to Bayonne, where they made them suffer the most horrid treatment.
In Biscay, columns of troops had advanced, carrying devastation and death with them; towns and villages have been laid in ashes; those vales, where peace and security had till then inhabited, were become scenes of the most atrocious barbarities; the women were ravished, and those who on their knees asked for their lives, were barbarously massacred. This was the manner in which the ancient government endeavoured to conquer the people from liberty. The committee was of opinion, that such horrible crimes ought to be disowned by the Convention.
Tallien proposed to disown them formally, and to charge the committee of public safety to present a proclamation on this subject, and to institute prosecutions against the oppressors of the provinces of Guipulcoa and Biscay.
All these propositions were decreed. A member moved, that the proclamation be translated into the Spanish language; and the men, unworthy of the name of republicans, who committed so many atrocities in Spain, should perish on a scaffold at St. Sebastian. Decreed.
In Convention, April 27.
Rovere in the name of the Committee of Public Welfare—"I come to give you some fresh particulars of the conspiracy of the 19th of Germinal which the firmness of government has defeated. Committees of Insurrection had been formed in the different quarters of Paris; there were nocturnal and seditious meetings in the houses of Langrelec and Francois, wine
merchants, in the Rue de Black. There were found in the matras of the bed of Langrelec, 49 musket cartridges, 30 powder cartridges, a great many sabres, fusils, and pistols. Danjeor, Cocheri, Rover, and Daviot, were the principal conspirators. The former are known for having been the principal agitators of the Fauxbourg Antonie; and the latter for having made a voluntary offer to guillotine our colleague Dechezeau.
"They wished to break open the prisons; the conspirators avowed their design. They had a correspondence with the prisoners of the Bicetre, and by their means did they escape. A part of the Convention was to be murdered; the shops and the warehouses were to have been plundered.
"I move to decree, that the Public Accuser of the criminal Tribunal of the Department of Paris, shall prosecute to conviction, the authors and accomplices of the conspiracy of the 29th of Germinal.—Decreed.
Chenier. "The Committees of Public Welfare, of General Safety and of Legislation, met last night: they have resolved to propose to you some important measures, and have appointed me their Reporter. As they did not break up till four o'clock in the morning, I have had no time to make a report worthy of the Convention, and of the people. I wish that you grant me at least two days to prepare it. The Convention decreed that Chenier should make his report next Primidi.
London.
By different gentlemen who left Paris within a weeks past, we have more regular, authenticated, and recent news from France, than has been received from thence during any period of the war. The late riots at Paris have terminated in the complete overthrow of the Jacobin faction, and the expulsion of some of its most violent partisans in the Convention.
The prevailing party certainly seem to hold the reins of Government with more general consent of the nation at large, than any of their predecessors since the death of the late King. But even their power is extremely hazardous and uncertain, so long as there is such a dreadful scarcity in the capital and the Departments. The house of Boissy d'Anglais, who was the principal charge of the subsidies, is daily besieged, by the famished multitude, begging for bread: the regular delivery of which, at a reduced price, to the indigent is only 4 ounces a day—to the labourer it is something more; but to both, the quality is bad in the extreme, and it is supposed that even this pittance must be reduced. We may therefore easily judge of the precarious situation of Paris.
A rumour is, that a gentleman lately returned from Paris has brought a paper, given to him by one of the members of the Convention, (with a view of having it circulated in this Country) expressive of the will of the French Convention to bring about a General Peace, and to meet our Ministers half way on the subject. To this is added, that there is a French officer now in London, charged by the Convention to inform himself of the real inclination of the British Cabinet, with respect to the question of War or Peace.
On the 9th of April a most interesting report was made to the Convention by Pellet, on the state of France, internal and external—and, after describing in pointed terms, the sufferings of France, occasioned by the war, and even the injury she derived from her victories, which only served to exhaust the nation, without producing any adequate benefit—to remedy all these inconveniences, he concludes by proposing the immediate establishment of a regular and effective government, which once accomplished, would make them to establish a general peace, and effectually put an end to every internal disorder. He takes a view of the constitution of 1793, and declares his disapprobation of it;—he particularly objects, that in the power given to the electors, there is not regard enough paid to the landed property of the nation. He therefore proposes, that the Primary Assemblies be convened, and half the Convention rechosen. This report being received with applause, and immediately adopted, confirms the triumph of the moderate party, and will, doubtless, be productive of the most pacific consequences.
Government are in daily expectation of further important advices from the Commander of the British fleet in the Mediterranean. Reports were yesterday in circulation, that a capture had been made since the action of the 13th of March, of a considerable fleet of transports of the enemy.
Which respect Holland.
LONDON.
The following orders have lately been published in Holland: 1st, the internal and external navigation of all rivers and harbours of the seven Provinces are declared free. 2dly, the exportation of all kinds of goods to England, or any of its possessions, are prohibited. 3dly, warlike stores of all kinds are prohibited to be exported to any country, France excepted; but even in that case security must be given for three times the value of the quantity to be removed. 4thly, fire arms, powder, and salt petre can be removed into France by land only, and then under the condition mentioned in the 3d article.
The cargoes of the different Dutch ships, now detained in British ports, are, by order of Government, to be immediately sold; by which measure great quantities of corn are expected to be procured at a reasonable price.
MAY 1.
Fire on board the Boyne man of war.
At first it was supposed that the fire proceeded only from a transport, but it was soon after
discovered that it was the Boyne, of 98 guns, commanded by Capt. Grey, that was on fire.
All the boats belonging to the ships in the harbour, were immediately ordered out to Spit-head.
When the fire broke out there was a fresh breeze at S. W. and it being tide of ebb, the ships were riding with their sterns to the wind.
The fire began in the after part of the ship which was consequently almost immediately in flames. Within half an hour after the commencement of the fire, the tops and all the rigging were in a blaze.
About twelve the tide turned, and the position of the ships became changed, but it was now too late to make any attempt, even for boats to come near her. Previous to this, however, from the number of boats that went instantly to her assistance, it is hoped that most of the crew were saved, though, from the rapidity of the flames, it is feared that some must have perished.
All her guns were loaded, as they became heated they went off, the shot falling amongst the shipping, and some of them even reached the shore, but without, it is hoped, having done any damage. It was upwards of two hours from the first discharge, till all the guns had gone off.
About two, her cables were burnt off, and she went adrift, the fire blazing through every port hole. The fight, though at noon day, was awfully grand. The ships to leeward of her having got under weigh to get clear of her, ran down to St. Helen's and she drifted slowly to the eastward, her mizen-mast and top-masts having fallen down before she began to drift.
The flag of vice-admiral Peyton, President of the court-martial was flying on board the Boyne. The vice-admiral was on board the Glory at the time, as was also Capt. Grey, attending him.
Four o'clock, P. M.
I have just conversed with a seaman who was saved from the Boyne, he says, that it is not possible to ascertain the occasion of the fire but was supposed to proceed either from a live cartridge from the muskets of the soldiers, who were exercising with small arms on the windward side of the ship, having lodged in the captain's or admiral's cabin, and caught something combustible, or from the funnel of the admiral's cabin having caught on fire and communicated to the deck.
The flames burst through the poop before the fire was discovered. Fortunately the greatest part of the powder had been sent on shore three days ago, and upon the first alarm the cock was turned upon the grand magazine. The fore and aft hanging magazines contained but little powder, the former had exploded with very little effect.
It is with the most serious concern I add that several hundred lives including men, women and children have been lost. The flames were so fierce, that the boats could not venture along side the ship, and those men only were saved who could swim. The wreck of the ship, is now on shore upon the spit. It is supposed she will continue burning down to the water's edge.
Extract of a letter from Plymouth Dock, April 2.
"This morning, in consequence of the very exorbitant price of provisions, a great concourse of people met in the market, took possession of the butchers meat, butter, eggs, and vegetables, and sold them at a very reduced price.—Some soldiers joined the business, and but for the timely interference of Lord George Lennox, very serious consequences must have ensued from the irritation of the people. The town is reduced to some order, and it is to be hoped that no further disturbances will happen this night.
There are strong symptoms of disquiet among the whole body of Miners in Cornwall. Bread is so extremely scarce and dear, that poor people are almost in want of the absolute necessaries of life.
Yesterday advice was received by government, of the safe arrival at North Shields, of the Beckford transport, from Bremen, in Germany, having on board 5 companies of the 55th regiment of foot, under the command of Capt. Wilscher. The rest of the British infantry are daily expected to reach England. The above corps is to proceed from North Shields to Suderland.
PHILADELPHIA, June 9.
Capt. Campbell informs, that the Negroes at Cayenne have become very disorderly of late, and have refused to work; and when he failed an insurrection appeared almost certain.
BOSTON, June 17.
From SALEM, June 17.
The Snow Enterprize, which failed from Boston on the 5th of February last, loaded with a very valuable cargo of sugar, coffee and cotton, bound for Hamburg, and commanded by Nathaniel Brookhouse of this town, Foundered in fifteen days after she failed, on the 20th of February, lat. 40. long. 41. In a heavy gale she was struck by a sea, and damaged so much, that the crew were in momentary expectation of her going down. They however continued on board till the next day; and after providing as many necessaries as their situation would permit, they took to their boats. Mr. Freeman of Boston (super-cargo) and half owner, Capt. Brookhouse, Mr. Tink, mate, Mr. Brookhouse, second-mate, and four mariners, in the long boat, and Nathaniel Card, and three more in the yawl. In fifteen minutes after they left the Snow she went down. The long boat failed faster than the yawl, and they unhappily lost sight of each other in the afternoon—for the next morning the small boat, with four mariners, was picked up by the ship Ruby, of Charleston, (S. C.) bound for France, where

they were carried. The long-boat has not yet been heard of, but it is hoped she may have reached the Western-Islands.—The snow was owned by Messrs. Freeman and Vant, of Boston.
From PHILADELPHIA, June 12.
The TIMES of May 4, has the following Paragraph:
"The idea of a PEACE seems now to be almost abandoned in the opinion of the Public. The certainty of another vigorous campaign is proved by the increase in every Department—particularly in the Fencibles, the Marines, and the Admiralty; but what gives the Coup de Grace to this assertion, is, the order lately issued by Council, "to take all neutral vessels, carrying provisions to France." It is from vigor like this, and the co-operation of an effective Board of Admiralty, that a secure peace may in due time be expected."
The SUN, of May 5, says,
"We are happy in being enabled from good authority to state, that an account was last night received by Government of the taking of the Cape of Good-Hope by some British Forces, supposed to have been sent from India for that purpose."
The Illustrious man of war, of 74 guns, one of Ad. Hotham's fleet, was lately lost near Leghorn. Thus the loss of the French and English Mediterranean fleets appears to be equal.
A gentleman who came passenger in the Richmond, informs, that a report prevailed at Bristol, previous to his leaving it, that a second engagement happened between the French and English fleets in the Mediterranean, in which Britannia, the Admiral-ship, was sunk; but the particulars had not transpired. Also a report of the French fleet of 23 sail of the line being in the English channel. This last intelligence was not generally credited.
Accounts come by the Richmond, that the French fleet have been reinforced by 8 sail of the line from Brest, and that they have blockaded up the British fleet at Spiezia.
June 20.
THE TREATY. Nothing yet transpires from Philadelphia, on the subject of the TREATY—except that the treaty is very lengthy, that it will, in all probability, require a discussion of three weeks at least, and that the members of the Senate are all sworn to secrecy.
Extract of a letter from L'Orient, dated May 2d, to a merchant in this city received by the Cheesman, Captain Ogilvie, from Bourdeaux.
"Three commissioners have arrived here from England, amongst whom are the Duke of Dorset, and Mr. Eden: two of them are said to have powers to make an exchange of prisoners; and it is asserted the other has come on business of much greater importance."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Nantes, dated April 28th, to his correspondent in this city, received by the Maryanna, in 38 days from Nantes.
"Tobacco has no price, also West-India produce. It was hoped that the peace with Russia, would have established more confidence. At present the talk is an accommodation with Spain, and even of a general peace, one of the principal conditions of which is to be the entire independence of the West-India Islands, under the guarantee of the belligerent powers. Bread is very much wanted all over Europe, of which scarcity we have not more to complain in this city than other parts of the country. Bread 6 livers the pound."
"We are informed (says a Philadelphia paper) that there is a Hamburg paper in town, which mentions, that preliminaries of peace were signed between the French and Emperor, at Frankfort on the 13th of April."
TRANSLATION.
PARIS, 14th of April, 1795. To P. F. DOBREE, Esq. Nantes.
SIR, "I am directed by the Minister of the United States, to inform you, that the emperor of Morocco, Muley, Soliman, has authorised his vessels to capture those of the United States; and that in consequence, the cruisers from Salle, are to leave that port as soon as the weather favor them, to cruise for our vessels as far as Madeira. Our Consul at Gibraltar communicated that intelligence to our Minister at London, which was confirmed by a letter received by our Consul at Falmouth. Please, therefore, to make it known as generally as you can to all the masters of vessels of our nation, within your department, and communicate it to the collector of the customs of any port of the United States, by the very first vessel that fails for America."
(Signed) SKIPWITH.
IL- "LEGAL" AND "WASTY" ADJUDICATION."
Saturday evening, a large concourse of people assembled on the Long Wharf, in consequence of a hand-bill issued the preceding afternoon, purporting that a New-Providence or Bermudian privateer was then lying at said wharf. The enraged multitude, having ascertained the fact, desired the Captain and crew to leave the sloop, which was soon complied with; they then proceeded to examine and found several carriage guns, shot, small arms, cutlasses, and other warlike implements, which they threw overboard. This discovery exasperated them to such a degree that they dismantled and dismasted her—they then towed the hull from the wharf, and set fire to it. The tide carried it as far as Charlestown, where it "burned to the water's edge."
Friday arrived the brig Galen, Capt. Mackey, from London, which he left the 5th April.
Yesterday arrived a vessel from Ireland, one from Liverpool, and one from Bourdeaux—long passages, they bring nothing new.
The English papers mention, that the sum which Great-Britain will pay for the capture of neutral vessels, will amount to near SEVEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS!—Of this, a very considerable part will be due to citizens of the United States.
MARINE DIARY.
June 16. Arrived schooner Sally, Capt. Cobb, in 50 days from Havre de Grace. May 19, lat. 47, 56 long. 38, spoke a ship from London, for Virginia, out 20 days. May 24, lat. 46, 48, long. 41, spoke a brig from Guernsey for Boston, out 21 days. June 8, lat. 49, long. 65, spoke brig Mary, of Boston, from Virginia for Lisbon, out 10 days.
Same day, Arrived brig Fox, Capt. Eaton, in 28 days from Cayenne. Left there, schooner Industry of Boston, Skinner; brig Charlotte of Providence, Aborn; sloop James, of Perth-Amboy, Palmer; ship Dispatch of Philadelphia, condemned; brig Ann of Altona, near Hamburg, got upon a rock, and was bilged. June 3, lat. 37, 49, long. 63, 50, spoke a schooner from Charleston, S. C. for the West-Indies. June 7, was boarded from the Bermudian privateer Hotnet, Capt. Steele, and ordered on board with papers &c. after enquiring the News at Cayenne, &c. and examining papers, was politely dismissed; but repeating his civility, the Capt. of the privateer, he in a few minutes, ordered the brig to come too again, and boarded her a second time, when they broke open the hatches, and found two men who had been secreted at the first appearance of the privateer, to recover the brig, had she been ordered into Bermuda; this circumstance enraged the Privateermen, and Steele swore he would send the brig in for trial. He took the two men on board the privateer, examined them, and on sending them on board, ordered the brig not to offer to go out of the reach of his guns; but night coming on, Capt. E. took advantage of the dark, and about half past nine crowded sail and soon had the pleasure of losing sight of the Privateer. Capt. E. has no doubt, but they saw him, when he first made sail; but did not think it safe to stop him.
Same day, arrived a schooner from Martinique, in 23 days. June 9, lat. 37, 50, long. 71, 46, spoke a brig from France for N. York. Same day, arrived a brig from Montserrat. Same day, arrived schooner Nancy, Donaldson, Halifax, 6 days.
PORTSMOUTH, June 23.
At the opening of the Gen. Court, at Hanover, His Excellency the Governor made the following
S P E E C H.
Fellow-Citizens of the Senate and House of Representatives,
BEING again called to the office of First Magistrate, I cannot forbear to make known to my fellow-citizens of the State at large, the respectful sense I entertain of the honor conferred on me, by their suffrages. In addition to all other motives of duty, this mark of their particular attention calls upon my grateful affections for exertions, in promoting the public welfare.
Agreeably to the request of the Legislature, in January last, I transmitted one copy of their remonstrance, on the subject of the privateer McClary, to the Senators from this State, to be laid before the Senate of the United States; and one other to the Members of the House of Representatives, to be laid before the House of Representatives of the United States.
A letter from Messrs. Livermore and Langdon, which will be laid before you, will show the situation of the Remonstrance sent to the Senate, and, by the journals of the House of Representatives, it will appear that the Remonstrance sent to that House was referred to a committee who made report, which was read, and ordered to lie on the table.
This very disagreeable subject having been so recently under the consideration of the Legislature, and the circumstances respecting it being well known, it is not necessary for me to be more particular.
Copies of the Laws of the United States, passed at the last session, will be laid before you; among these is "an act authorizing the transfer of the Stock standing to the credit of certain States," and "an act to establish an uniform rule of naturalization, which may, perhaps, require the particular attention of the Legislature."
The encouragement of literature being considered, by the constitution, as one of the important duties of the Legislators, and essential to the preservation of a free Government, will always require the care and attention of the Legislature.
The prosperity of our common country, and the tranquility and happiness so apparent in this State, must afford great pleasure to the contemplative mind, and should excite our gratitude to the Supreme Governor of the Universe. And it will afford me great satisfaction to join with both branches of the Legislature, in all such measures, as may tend further to promote the interest, honor, and happiness of the good people of the State.
[The answer to His Excellency's Speech we have not been able to procure for this day's Gazette, but as soon as we can obtain a copy it shall have a place.]
On Thursday last the General Court finished their session at Hanover, and adjourned to meet on the first Wednesday in December next at Concord.
MARINE NEWS.
On the 21st of May was taken up by the fishing schooner Industry, of Kittery, David Spinney, master, in the bay Fundy, an arch board of a vessel, marked "York of Boston," was about 15 feet and an half long, after inquiry made by Capt. Spinney at the Grand passage, he was informed, that a short time before there were a great many articles taken up that drifted ashore, viz. Desks, chairs, two dead horses, beef, pork, flour, &c. all of which it was supposed came from a vessel (they judged "The York") which must have been cast away on Briar Island.
British Insolence Chastised.
Capt. Samuel Rice arrived here on Wednesday last in the brig Joseph, from Lisbon, was brought too off Halifax by the King's sloop of war Rattlesnake, and boarded by the Lieutenant who demanded Capt. Rice's sea papers. He readily complied; but he having other papers in his pocket-book of a private nature, the Lieutenant demanded them also. Capt. Rice refused to grant this request—on which the Lieutenant impudently seized the pocket-book from him; Capt. Rice, however catching it from him again, by an exertion laid him on the floor of the cabin, and after a long altercation brought the Lieutenant to such a sense of his folly as that he appeared desirous to be on friendly terms; but Capt. Rice, keeping him at a distance, soon parted from him, leaving him to his own reflections upon his misconduct. We sincerely wish that sea officers, of his, or other nations, may learn a solid lesson of improvement from this instance.
Capt. Rice left Lisbon the 24th April, at which time Muley Soliman's cruisers had not been out; and by the best information he could obtain from the Straights of Gibraltar there was not any prospect of their being sent out.—Fabricated intelligence to the contrary notwithstanding!!!
Capt. Rice left at Lisbon the ship Charleston, Samuel Folter master, of Boston which was to sail in a few days for Peterburgh in Russia.
Friday arrived here the ship Friendship, Capt. Moulton, in 29 days from St. Kitts, Captain Moulton informs that the brig Georgia Packet, of Boston, Capt. Farley, from Bordeaux, bound for St. Bartholomews, touched at Antigua, but did not sell her cargo, was taken on the 17th May by the privateer sloop Sukey and Polly, commanded by George Poulton, and carried into St. Kitts, all the people belonging to the Georgia Packet was taken on board the privateer, on her arrival Mr. Emery, owner of the privateer said if they would not condemn the brig at St. Kitts he would send her to Bermuda for a further trial.
Saturday arrived here brig John and Jane, Capt. Briard, in 77 days from Havre de Grace: Spoke April 13th Ship Polly, Isaac Phillips master, of & from Savannah, bound for Bordeaux, all well.—May 2, spoke a brig from Lisbon, bound for Trinity in Newfoundland, out 20 days.—June 12, spoke a schooner from Salem, out 4 days, bound on the grand bank.—June 17, spoke the schooner Hawke, Capt. Loring, from Boston, bound for Corunna (in Spain) out 4 days. Capt. Briard having had a long passage, has brought no news later than we have already had.
Saturday arrived here the brig Blossom, Capt. Blunt, in 28 days from Tobago. June 10th was brought too in lat. 32, long. 68, by a Bermudian privateer of 10 guns, commanded by Capt. Miller, the Captain came on board the brig, examined Capt. Blunt's papers, made inquiry concerning the voyage, &c. treated him with politeness and left him without offering the least abuse whatever. Left at Tobago May 23, brig Neutrality of Philadelphia, John Thompson, master. Brig Lucy, Capt. Frost, of Salem. Sloop Farmers, of Casco-bay, Capt. Chase, to sail in 5 or 6 days for Baltimore. Schooner Rose, Capt. Bunbury, to sail in 3 or 4 days for Norfolk, Virginia. Brig Columbia of New-York, Capt. Fitch. Sloop Minerva of New-London, Capt. Green, arrived there the 23d May.
Capt. Blunt supposes there are about 200 troops beside the militia on the Island, they are paraded twice or three times a week, and are in daily expectation of a visit from the French.
From a London paper of May 5. JUDGMENT OF MR. HASTINGS.
About one o'clock, the Lords being come into the Hall, and the Commons with their managers seated, the proceedings commenced.
Mr. Hastings was called into Court; and as soon as he plead as usual, he was ordered to withdraw, while his judges determined on his case. By two o'clock the whole house had been interrogated 16 times; Mr. Cooper presented the Chancellor with the results.
Mr. Hastings was then called, in and amid the most profound silence the Chancellor addressed him, to state that a majority of his judges had acquitted him from the matters charged against him; and that, consequently he stood absolved and acquitted from them and their consequences.
Mr. Hastings respectfully bowed; and turning about to his friends, received their warm congratulations.
