State of New-Hampshire. By the Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.
IT has been customary for the Citizens of this State, at the recommendation of the Supreme Executive Authority, to set apart a certain day near the close of the year for the purpose of publicly recognizing their dependence upon ALMIGHTY GOD for protection...
I therefore, in conformity to this laudable and long established practice, do by and with advice of Council, appoint THURSDAY, THE TWENTY-EIGHTH DAY OF NOVEMBER next, to be observed as a day of PUBLIC THANKSGIVING AND PRAYER throughout this State...
That although the earth has been visited by a severe and early drought, yet that by his blessing we are favoured with a competency of the fruits of the field, for the supplies of another year.
That we have not been afflicted with those contagious diseases that have visited some of the Cities of our sister States, but have enjoyed a general measure of health.
That the life and health of the President of the United States have been preserved; that our civil and religious liberties are secure; and that no internal causes have occurred to disturb the peace and harmony of our Land.
For the termination of our contest with one of the African powers; and that our fellow citizens are liberated from bondage and restored to the arms of their country, and the sweets of liberty.
For his smiles on our commerce, Navigation and Fisheries, and for the prosperity which has generally prevailed.
But above all, for the inestimable blessing of the gospel of peace and salvation, the means of grace and hopes of future glory, through the merits of a crucified Saviour.
And while our mouths are filled with Praise and Thanksgiving, let us supplicate our Heavenly Benefactor, that he would penetrate our hearts as well with a due sense of his goodness, as of our own unworthiness, and continue to us all the blessings that we now enjoy, and bestow upon us all such additional favours as may be for our good.
That he would be pleased to keep the Government of the United States under his protection; bless our Nation in all its internal and external concerns, and inspire all in authority with wisdom and with a patriotic regard to its welfare and honour.
That he would command the pestilence which now scourges some of the Cities of our country to cease its desolations, and make those cities rejoice in the return of Health, and in the mercies of the LORD.
That he would particularly keep this State under his holy and superintending care, smile upon its Agriculture, Commerce and Fisheries, and bless the labours of the labourer in every walk and department of life.
That he would cherish our University, our Academies and Schools, and all other institutions for promoting improvements in knowledge, usefulness and virtue.
That he would preside in all our Courts, and inspire those who make and those who administer the Laws, with his divine wisdom; and make every branch of our civil Government subserve the best interests of the PEOPLE.
That he would bless the means used for the promulgation of his word, and make pure religion and morality more and more abound.
And it is hereby earnestly recommended that all persons abstain from labour and recreations unbecoming the solemnities of the day.
Given at the Council Chamber in PORTSMOUTH, this Tenth day of October, in the year of our Lord, One thousand eight hundred and five, and of the Independence of the United States of America, the thirtieth.
JOHN LANGDON. By His Excellency's Command, with advice of Council, PHILIP CARRIGAIN, jun'r. Secretary.
Thanksgiving in Massachusetts, the Twenty-Eighth November next.
Late FOREIGN Intelligence. By Arrivals at Boston.
PARIS AUG. 17. Just as the Combined Fleet sailed from Ferrol, eight large American ships, under convoy of two armed ships, sailed from Nanties for Cadiz, laden with salt, beef, pork and biscuit; the Colpoys brig fell in with them in the night, captured two, the rest separated, and got between the Isle of Dieu and the main.
AUG. 31. The frontiers of the Empire seem to be menaced by the movements of the Austrian armies. Thirty thousand men are to march from camp of Boulogne to the banks of the Rhine. This intelligence may surprise those who have even foreseen it.
In fact, we might foresee that the envious hatred of the British Cabinet, and the fear with which the genius of the Emperor Napoleon fills it, would induce Mr. Pitt to exhaust all the efforts of intrigue and corruption, to divide the dangers that menace England, and make the Continent share them with her; but we may well be assured that Austria should have so soon forgotten the lesson of experience, and that she should still give herself up to those sinister councils which have twice dragged her to the brink of a bottomless abyss.
SEPT. 2. At length we are able to put an end to the suspense which the public has for some time felt with respect to the combined fleets.
Capt. Blackwood, of the Euryalus frigate, arrived this morning at the Admiralty with dispatches. His ship had been sent from Cork to Lord Nelson; but missing him, proceeded to Admiral Collingwood, off Cadiz. The dispatches state, that the combined fleets, consisting of 27 sail of the line, arrived at Cadiz on the 20th ult. Admiral Collingwood, did not, with his four sail of the line, venture to oppose them—they chased him for a short time before they entered Cadiz. As soon, however, as they had got in, he turned to his station, and re-anchored with his four sail of the line off the harbor. On the 24th the Euryalus fell in with Sir R. Calder's fleet, within 20 leagues of Cadiz; so that he would in all probability join Admiral Collingwood the next day, and the blockade of Cadiz would then be effectually resumed. Admiral Bickerton is at Gibraltar with his six sail of the line, and the Carthagena fleet remain in port. Admiral Bickerton will be able to prevent their junction with the combined fleets, should they attempt it.
Dispatches have been received from Admiral Collingwood, informing of the arrival of the combined fleet at Cadiz, the 20th Aug. consisting of 28 sail of the line; Sir Robert Calder and Admiral Cornwallis had been made acquainted with the fact.
Advices from Admiral Cornwallis mention, that a squadron of ten sail of French ships (four of the line) had chased the Melampus frigate, on the 30th Aug. off the Peninsular. They are supposed to be at the ships left at Vigo, and bound to L'Orient. The Rochefort squadron, it is said, slipped into Brell, when Cornwallis had hauled off to intercept the combined squadron.
Lord Keith has returned from the Texel, in the Edgar, of 74 guns. It is said that there is less appearance than formerly of an intention on the part of the Dutch fleet to put to sea.
A Spanish privateer, commanded by an American, named Hooper, has captured a ship of 400 tons, from Liverpool for New-York, and a Dutch brig from New-York for the West-Indies; as also a Bermudian vessel and some others.
LONDON, Aug. 29. We have already communicated the intention of government to assemble a considerable number of transports for the conveyance of troops, and we are now enabled to state that the most active measures have been adopted by the Transport Board for carrying it into effect. The whole of the tonnage to be contracted for amounts to forty thousand tons of which ten thousand are actually engaged. The agents have received notice that the vessels will be wanted for three months, at the end of which government is to be at liberty, should it be necessary, to enlarge the time. In the former case the transports are engaged at twenty, and in the latter, fifteen shillings per ton. The Note is fixed upon as the place of general rendezvous, and their destination is Revel and Riga, whence they will proceed with Russian troops, to Sweden, if Pomerania.
SEPT. 6. The cession of Swedish Pomerania to Russia, is officially contradicted. This is an important fact; as it is now not unreasonable to suppose that Prussia will remain neutral; for we know not of any other point upon which the cabinets of Petersburg and Berlin are likely to disagree.
Government has received information that the camp at Boulogne was breaking up, and the troops marching towards the Rhine. Sir Sidney Smith has been off the French coast reconnoitering.
Bonaparte continued at Boulogne on the 19th; but our Dover correspondent informs us that he has since left it, and that the number of troops and tents is much less than it was. We dare say part of the army has been sent to the Rhine.
SEPT. 9. The King has been pleased to appoint the Duke of York, to be Colonel of the 1st regt. of Foot Guards; in the room of the Duke of Gloucester, deceased. The Duke of Cambridge (5th son of His Majesty) to be Colonel of the Coldstream regiment of foot guards in the room of the Duke of York; and the Duke of Kent (4th son of his Majesty) to be Field Marshal of the forces.
It is reported, that the Emperor of Germany, in case of war, now inevitable, will take the field in person. He will be accompanied by his brothers the Archduke Charles, and the Archduke John. The celebrated General Mack will also have an important command. Opposed to these will be the French Emperor in person; assisted by Bernadotte, Augereau, Massena, &c. but he will want a Marshal.
The visit of Bonaparte to the coast was for the purpose of sending off his troops towards Germany.
Nine sail of the East India Fleet have arrived safe. The remainder were parted with about a week since, and are momentarily expected.
BOSTON, OCT. 26. EUROPEAN NEWS.
By several arrivals, yesterday, we were favored with Dutch papers to the 18th, French papers to the 5th, London papers to the 8th, and Liverpoo, to the 9th September. Several days later than before received.
WAR—A long and bloody War was on the point of commencing between France, assisted perhaps, by Prussia and Bavaria, on one side; and Russia and Austria, backed by Great Britain and aided by Sweden, on the other. This event was placed beyond doubt.
THE French army lately embodied near Boulogne; and the French and Dutch troops embarked in Holland, had actually debarked, and had marched towards the Rhine. A few divisions were left at Boulogne; but every battalion had left the Texel. In every part of France, all the engines of war was in operation. The French funds had experienced a great fall.
Two Russian armies were, it was confidently said, on the march for Germany; and Austrian officers had actually been dispatched to conduct them. The Russian forces at Corfu were ready for immediate action.
THE accounts from Austria are not explicit. One day they talk of peace, and negotiation; but on the next present us with whole columns of accounts of marching armies—new formed camps;—the most efficient preparations for instant war; and the advance of vast bodies of veteran troops to the very frontiers of France and Italy.
THERE are reports, that hostilities had commenced in Styria, and that Venice had been taken by the French.
NEW expeditions were fitting out in England; and the expectations of Invasion were no more. No naval affair, of consequence, had taken place; and the blockades of Brell, and Cadiz, was continued.
THE expedition at Malta under Sir James Craig, was expected to sail, shortly, with 2000 of the garrison; probably to join the Russians at Corfu, to act against the French in Italy.
THE British navy, in commission on the 1st September, was composed of 690 vessels—of which 119 are of the line, 195 gun-ships, 140 frigates, and 415 sloops.
We lately mentioned, that the harvest has proved so abundant in Spain, that foreign corn had fallen 300 per cent. Accounts from Cadiz of the 30th August state, that there were upwards of 40 000 barrels of American flour in the harbor, for which no sale could be obtained, although offered at a prime cost.
Capt. Marner, arrived at Newport, on Thursday last, in 33 days from Bordeaux. If the dates are correct he must have left France the 16th September; which is later than any arrivals here. He mentions the reports, that Russia, Austria and Sweden had declared war against France, and that the armies of the coast were marching towards Germany.
A gentleman from Marblehead informs, of the arrival there of Ich. Hiram, Capt. Hooper from Bilboa, in 33 days; & that the Captain saw posted at Bilboa, an order forbidding Spanish privateers to molest American vessels.
A Liverpool Guineaman, with 290 slaves, has recently been taken to windward of Barbadoes, and carried into St. Pierres.
SEAMENS' PROTECTIONS.
A gentleman, who has lately returned from Halifax, and brought with him his lion, whose liberation from on board one of the British frigates on that station, he procured through the friendship and agency of James Smith, Esq. of that place, assures us, that the Common Protections, which are given to our seamen, at the custom houses, will not insure their safety from impressment on board British ships of war. He adds, that in order to render these Protections safe, and conformable to the regulations of the British navy, they must be accompanied by the copy of a Certificate, signed by the Town Clerk of the place, where the birth of each seaman is registered; which copy must be annexed to the Protection, and the original acknowledged by the Collector to be deposited in his office.
As this notice is important to the interests of Commerce, and of Humanity, we are assured our brother editors in the U. S. will give it publicity.
The Upper Canada papers are filled with accounts of the character and funeral obsequies of Gen. Hunter, Lt. Gov. of that province. He is succeeded by Alexander Grant, Senior Councillor.
The Steeple of the Hotel Dieu, a Catholic Church in Montreal, was struck with lightning, the 20th July last, and continued burning three hours, without destroying anything but the steeple. There was a continual pour of rain.
We understand that on the fifteenth of August, Mr. Munroe, our minister at London, had an interview with Lord Mulgrave, the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, on the subject of the recent captures, when it appeared that no new order had been issued, but that they proceeded from the decisions recently made in the high court of appeals, subjecting the trade between European hostile countries and their colonies, through a neutral state to a much narrower rule than had been before contemplated. At this interview the subject was not discussed in detail between Mr. Munroe and the minister, but the latter assured him that there was nothing in the disposition of his government which would admit of an unfriendly measure against the United States.
Another conference having been requested by Mr. Munroe, for the purpose of entering more fully into the affair, it remains to be seen what will be the issue of this important business. (Nat. Intel.)
Portsmouth, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1805.
FROM GIBRALTAR.
Capt. Rogers, from Gibraltar, confirms the intelligence that the combined French and Spanish squadrons were lying in Cadiz harbor; and that a British fleet of about 17 sail of the line, were before the port, under the command of Vice-Admiral Collingwood. Vice-Admiral Calder is second in command. Both these officers are Vice-Admirals of the Blue Squadron; but Collingwood holds the highest rank. He commanded the Barfleur of 98 guns in Lord Howe's action of the 1st June, 1794; and the Excellent, of 74 guns in the action fought by Lord St. Vincents, on the 14th February, 1797. Lord Nelson was hourly expected to take command of the blockade. The last accounts from London state, that on the 30th September, he took leave of the Admiralty, and was to carry with him the Victory, of 100 guns, Ajax, 74, Capt. Brown; Defence, 74, Capt. Durham; Agamemnon, 64, Capt. Harvey; and the Euryalus of 36 guns, Capt. Blackwood.
A part of the U. States squadron, composed of four frigates, two sloops, and two bomb brigs, were expected to sail immediately for America.
We are told from the Boston Gazette, that the common Seamen's Protections will not answer, the British cruisers insisting that the town clerk's certificate, where the person was born, must be attached to it. Are the British to make laws for us? Why should our seamen be compelled to furnish themselves with protections at all? Does an American public ship demand the English seamen's protections? Better far abolish protections altogether, and submit no longer to these wrongs. If we once comply with the new impositions, something else will soon follow, and we shall never be able to satisfy the demands of the English cruising ships. It would not surprise us much, if the English wished to establish Custom Houses in the United States, with a view of compelling our ships and seamen to make entry and clear out before their own offices.
Release of our prisoners—From persons hostile to every principle of humanity, and whose feelings are so far callous to all the tender sensations of benevolence, as to cast about them, without attending to consequences, "fire brands, arrows and death," we may expect to find a constant display of their sanguinary disposition. On this ground alone, it might be expected that the happy termination of the Tripolitan war, without the loss of the life of one prisoner in obtaining their liberty, would become a subject of censure on the present administration. What man of sympathy would wish to place the lives of 300 prisoners, (immured within the cells of an enraged barbarian) at hazard, having wives, children, brethren and relations anxious for their destiny, merely for the sake of trying how far the threats of such a barbarian would have been carried into execution? At what period was Mr. Lear to comply with his terms?—Was he to wait till he saw a bleeding victim expire on the battlements of the bathaw? Was he to hear the groans of our tortured countrymen, agonizing under the scourges of an infuriated desperado? Was he to receive a petition from the unfortunate captives, praying deliverance from the rage of their tormentors? What heart, short of adamant, but would palpitate with pleasing satisfaction, that it was in our power to prevent the horrid catastrophe, by a pecuniary consideration? If we had suffered one man to have fallen a sacrifice, the world would have reproached our conduct: Humanity would have sickened at our wanton cruelty.
As war, horrid war, seems the peculiar delight of the federalists, every act of humanity is stigmatized as cowardice. It must redound to the honor of the President, that under his agency, our fellow citizens have been restored without shedding blood, or putting them in jeopardy of falling victims to a speculative policy of trusting to Javoge lenity. If every man had been put to death, it would probably have been pleasing to such cruel wretches, whose sensibilities are feared, as with a hot iron. Our honest sailors must feel an indignation at the blood-thirsty temper of a man, who can sport with the lives of American prisoners, especially when he himself has often sought refuge in circumstances much less hazardous.
FEDERAL WICKEDNESS.
Our federal papers have published with exultation the following toast, as having been drank in Pennsylvania—"Equal distribution of PROPERTY to all." The Toast, in fact, drank was "Equal distribution of JUSTICE to all." A federal printer put out the word "Justice," and inserted the word "Property." How abandoned must be the principles and supporters of that cause, which is protected by such base iniquity! Will our Citizens never learn that men who are guilty of these things cannot be their real friends? Repub. Farmer.
Capt. Sinclair, from Gibraltar, informs, that two Dispatch Boats, belonging to the United States, had just arrived.
From Holland—Capt. Parsons, from Amsterdam, confirms the intelligence of the debarkation of the French and Dutch troops in the Texel; and of their having marched towards Germany. All the talk was of a Continental war.
MILITARY SPIRIT!
The following Gentlemen we understand have been chosen officers in the Company of Cavalry, now forming in this town, viz. George Washington Prescott Esq. Captain; Capt. John F. Parrot first Lieut.; Capt. George F. Smith second Lieutenant; John Hamilton, Cornet.
On Thursday afternoon, the second Company of Militia under the orders of Capt. Washington Pierce, made their fourth public appearance this season. After going through the different evolutions, marchings, firings, &c. they repaired to Chapoutil's Inn, were, with the Officers of the Regiment, they partook of an elegant entertainment provided for the occasion, in the course of the evening, the following toasts were drank:
1. His Excellency, the Captain General and Commander in chief of the free born Militia of the State of New-Hampshire—May the civic crown and the laurel wreath be entwined together.
2. The Officers and Privates of the Militia on malle; May they ever merit the praise that New-Hampshire received at the battle of Moomouth.
3. The Independent Companies of this Town; Fame hovering in front, valor in the centre, and glory to bring up the rear.
4. The United States of America; Independent, Sovereign, and free.
5. The President of the United States; His head a Senate, and his arm an host.
6. The Memory of the brave, who fell in the late arduous conflict with Great Britain; The Patriot Hero sleeps in peace.
7. Our gallant Countrymen who repossessed before the walls of Tripoli; May their ghosts patrol the ramparts, and strike terror on tyrants.
8. A welcome return to General Eaton, Cap. Bainbridge, and the Officers and Privates of the Philadelphia Frigate. They have deserved well of their country.
9. The Clergy; May they sound the silver trumpet of peace; and leave the brazen trump of war with the Sons of Mars.
10. The Citizen Soldier, and the Soldier Citizen; the same character in different spheres.
11. Success to the Plough in times of peace. Strength to the sword in the day of war.
12. The Bathaw of Tripoli; May the shuders of PEBLE, and the sword of EATON keep his mind in perfect peace!
13. Annihilation to the spirit of party. America one and indivisible.
14. May the happiness of America enjoyed through the whole earth.
15. Spain; If she is wrong, may the wheel to the right-about.
16. May private animosities, be swallowed up in universal friendship.
17. The Fair Sex; For them may we live, for them may we dare to die.
VOLUNTEERS.
By Captain Peirce after the field-officers had retired—The Field Officers of the Fifth Regiment—May their patriotism, skill, and urbanity, be an emulative example to every subordinate officer and private.
By Lieut. Weeks—The Militia of New-Hampshire; May their improvement keep pace with their patriotism.
By Ensign Cutts; Peace while it is honorable, but war rather than disgrace.
By Sergeant Billings, Bonapart, George III. and Alexander of Russia; May this trio of enemies, shake hands as three friends.
By Sergeant Blodgett; May we have a manly sense of National Honor, Dignity and Independence.

ODE, FOR THANKSGIVING MORNING. HARK! 'tis the great Messiah's voice: He calls, he says, "my sons rejoice: Let festal loo and holy praise Warm every breast—inspire your lays: The joys of harvest now appear; Godness and mercy crown the year."
LIFE. Head's watchful care has safely kept Thy life, thy health, when'er thou slept; —Awake thou'st been thy Maker's care, To guard thy feet from every snare.
REASON. Thy reason's whole now to explore God's mighty works from shore to shore. Reason, the dignity of man, Should spread her wings and try to ken What may be known of God on earth, And rise to trace her heavenly birth.
FRIENDSHIP. Friendship, blest dalm to heal our woes, To sweeten life—and give repose To daily care—to mental pain, Thy genial influence I retain.
AT CHURCH. Assembled now with Friends how dear? Our husbands, wives, our children here; Brethren and Sisters—see the throng, O! let the view inspire the song.
TABLE. Thy labors crown'd with good success, Thy table smiles with plenty's dress; With meats and fruits of every kind, To please the taste and cheer the mind. Eat, friends, and drink, but grant O heaven, None may abuse what thou hast given.
PEACE. While Europe bleeds, and horrid war Roars her loud thunder from afar; See every plain, how thickly strew'd! What countless garments roll'd in blood! See—but with pity's eye and prayer, O! peace be thou established there. Peace, balmy peace is still our lot, This blessing few can't be forgot.
RELIGION. But chief my soul repeat his praise For gospel blessings—Heavenly grace, He gave his Son—his only Son Of all the church chief corner stone; For thee he died, and vanquish'd hell, And all the powers of darkness fell. O! now he lives and reigns above, Bright seraphs sing his wondrous love. Let saints below now learn their songs, Tea more—much more to us belongs, Elish of our flesh, and bone of bone, He died for man,—for man alone.
PRAYER. O! may his churches now arise, And loud hosanna's rend the skies; Shake off your dust—most clearly thine In robes of righteousness divine; Sav'd by his power from death and hell, —To praise his name—with him to dwell.
MAMMOTH PEAR. Upon an accurate admeasurement of a pear, which was growing in Ipswich, on the 10th inst. it was found to be 17 inches in circumference lengthwise, 14 crosswise and 7 long. There was another on the same tree of nearly the same dimensions. The rest were of an uncommon size. What makes it still more remarkable, these pears were growing on scions, which were grafted four years ago into a small apple tree stock. Salem Gazette.
MAMMOTH TREE. This remarkable tree stands in the town of Jefferson, Cayuga county, on the estate of John Swartwout, Esq. Marshall of the District of New-York. It measures forty seven and an half feet in circumference, and contains a hollow in which at least seventeen men can march and stand in a circle. This enormous production of nature is said to be button wood and is supposed to have been the habitation of Indians and hunters a number of years ago. Being at first a natural hollow, the inside is probably somewhat improved by art, having one side open as a door; the largeness of the hollow is astonishing, making quite a large and commodious apartment. What renders this tree the more singular is, that it is still green and thrifty, and may continue growing larger for a number of years to come. N. Y. pap.
