THE NEW-HAMPSHIRE GAZETTE, AND GENERAL ADVERTISER.
Vol. XXVII.]
SATURDAY, JULY 12, 1783.
[No. 1393.]
For the NEW-HAMPSHIRE GAZETTE. Messieurs PRINTERS,
IT is a maxim founded in nature, that has been adopted by every government, and prevailed in every age, that "assistance and protection are reciprocal;" that the man, whose property is secured by the laws of a State, and defended by its arms, should lend his aid in supporting them. On this principle all wise governments have ever incapacitated foreigners for possessing property in their dominions; as they cannot contribute when necessary, that assistance which all States have a right to require of their subjects. The property therefore of that man, who flies in the hour of danger, and abandons it to the invasions of the foe, becomes a derelict, and his right thereto is forfeited forever. Should the enemy succeed it becomes the possession of the conqueror; should the State in which it lies repulse the hostile attack, this property so abandoned by its former owner, naturally falls into the hands of the public, and is the right of those, who with their blood and treasure have defended it. This doctrine is too well known in America, as well as in other parts of the world to be now disputed.
The estates of those, who in the late war deserted the standard of their country have universally been declared a forfeit, and in most instances their value has been deposited in the public treasure. New Hampshire (to her glory) has been among the foremost, that have seen the necessity, policy and justice of such measures. The property of her refugees has been long ago sequestered and confiscated to the use of the brave defenders of the Commonwealth.
The public thus being by particular statutes of the State; as well as by the laws of reason, nature and nations, the absolute proprietors of all the property so relinquished by its former owners, it would naturally be expected, that they enjoyed the benefits of their new acquisition. Had the executive and judicial authority been as active in their sphere, as the legislature have been in their department, this would doubtless have been the case; but to our shame it must be confessed, we have hitherto derived but small advantages from possessions so dearly bought, and so justly claimed. Every individual feels this injury, and every individual has a right to enquire its cause and seek redress.
If any servant of the public has in this instance been remiss, let his station be ever so exalted, or his past services ever so great, he ought and in time he will feel the resentment of his injured masters, unless by his future zeal, he atones for his past neglect.
The confiscated property in this government is great, and when appropriated will defray a considerable part of the public debt. The state groaning under the enormous weight of taxes, sickens for this necessary relief. This will greatly lighten the general burthen, and ease the purse of every member of the Commonwealth. It will contribute to restore the public faith, and enable us to do justice to our creditors, to quiet the complaints of distressed orphans, and helpless widows, who early lodged their monies in the public funds; above all by such supplies as will accrue from an immediate sale and application of the confiscated property, we
shall be enabled to reward the generous soldier who has nobly spilled his blood, and spent his treasure in our defence. It is he that has defended these estates, and he has a claim to them; he has preserved our liberties, and is entitled to our gratitude; he has fought without pay, and we are in his debt; he has spent his own money, and ought to be reimbursed; he is disbanded, and needs our assistance. In the midst of such distress, of such loud calls to restore our credit, to do justice to the world, and shew our gratitude to the authors of a glorious revolution, shall the property of these patriots remain untouched? untouched too, when the legislature have declared it confiscated, and ordered it for sale? Whence springs the cause of such cruel remissness? springs it from neglect, or from design? If from the former, why is not the idle drone driven disgracefully from his office, and another better qualified appointed to his place; if from the latter, let the guilty culprit be brought to the bar of public justice, and sacrificed to the indignation of the injured people; people, whom he has made the dupes of his villainy.
Justice, honor, gratitude demand that instant enquiry be made into this mysterious, unaccountable, astonishing remissness. Our rulers 'tis hoped will soon do it, to prevent the direful consequences to be apprehended from a multitude, roused by continued injuries to do themselves justice. When this much feared event takes place, neither dignity, titles or bribes, will screen the wretched criminal from the punishment due to public fraud, and atrocious guilt.

AN ACT to repeal certain parts of a law of this State, entitled "An Act in addition to the law already in force for the regulation of Swine," and for adding a new clause instead thereof.
WHEREAS the parts of said Act prohibiting SWINE being suffered to go at large within the compact part of Portsmouth, ascertaining the mode of proceeding with such Swine, and the limits of said compact part of said Portsmouth, have been found ineffectual to answer the good design of said Act:
Wherefore, BE IT ENACTED, and it is hereby enacted by the Council and House of Representatives for said State, that such parts of said Act as relate to the penalty, limits of the compact part of said Portsmouth, and mode of proceeding with said Swine & those parts of said Act only, be and hereby are repealed; and instead thereof, the following clauses substituted, viz: Whosoever shall find and take up any Swine suffered by the owner thereof to go at large, within the compact part of the town of Portsmouth, contained within the following limits, viz. Beginning at Pickering's mills, and following the course of Piscataqua river to Boyd's mills; thence running up by Boyd's mill-pond to a point opposite the westerly end of the new goal; thence straight to the same; thence on a straight line southerly across the middle road to the north-west corner of Thomas Packer's pasture; thence on the northerly side of said pasture, on a straight line to the head of Pickering's mill pond; thence by said mill pond to Pickering's mills aforesaid; shall have the property of, and may convert such Swine, to found at large contrary to the spirit and design of said Act, to his or their own use: and in case any action or actions should be brought against any person or persons for so taking up and converting such Swine, he or they may plead the general issue, and give this Act in evidence; any law, usage or custom, to the contrary notwithstanding:—
Provided nevertheless, that this Act shall not be in force until the fifteenth day of July next.

Extract of a letter from Plymouth, April 16.
"Sunday arrived his Majesty's ship St. Michael, of 72 guns from Gibraltar, after a passage of 22 days: She left the troops healthy and well, and has on board a number of Spanish deserters, and some hundred soldiers. General Elliot and Duc de Crillon had an interview on the isthmus before the St. Michael sailed, when the latter made a present of a fine horse to General Elliot."
May 10. Mr. Burke made a very apt remark on the conduct of our business: when he heard that Mr. David Hartley was nominated to go over to Paris, to fix the plan of future trade between us and the new states with the American commissioners there—
"Our wise rulers, says he, shew their penetration to all the world. They sent a merchant (Oswald) to negotiate the peace and a politician to settle the treaty of commerce."
CHARLESTOWN (S. C.) May 27.
There are various reports in town respecting a commotion at St. Augustine, in consequence of the cession of that place to Spain. One account says, that the mutiny had taken place in Brown's corps, who attempted to hoist the thirteen stripes. Another account mentions that a determination prevailed not to give up the place, & a third that Mr. Livingston, the commissioner from hence, had been so much insulted, as to oblige him to take shelter on board an American vessel.
RICHMOND (Virginia) June 14.
Overtures have been made to Congress by the States of New York and Maryland, by which the former have offered to cede to Congress the township of Kingston, in the said State, as the future seat of Congress, together with an exempt jurisdiction therein, and the establishment of such judicatories as Congress shall think proper. The State of Maryland have offered the city of Annapolis (with the unanimous concurrence of the inhabitants to subject themselves to the jurisdiction of Congress) the Assembly House for the sessions of Congress, the Governor's house for the President, and to build an hotel for each State, at the expense of Maryland, provided it does not exceed 30,000l. together with a jurisdiction, of whatever nature and extent Congress may judge necessary, over the city and 300 acres of the adjoining land.
The advantages that will derive to any State, in which Congress shall establish the seat of their future sessions, will we doubt not, be fully weighed by the Legislature of this State; and the convenience which at first view presents itself in favour of the city of Williamsburgh for that purpose, in which there are large, elegant, commodious public buildings now vacant, and a considerable tract of public lands thereto adjoining, when added to the superior advantages of its central situation to all America, will certainly counterbalance the liberal offers of the States of New-York and Maryland, or of any other state.
WILMINGTON (Delaware) June 25.
This day a brig arrived here from New-York, the master's name Thomas Rawling (formerly a resident of this State) who, in the earlier part of the late war, abandoned his country in the time of her distress, and joined, aided and abetted the british forces in America.—Upon Rawling's coming on shore, and notice thereof being given to the Magistrates, they sent for him, and very judiciously ordered him to depart the State by 9 o'clock the next morning, acquainting him at the same time that if his vessel was consigned to any other person not com-
ing under his description, such freedom of trade would be granted, in such case, as the subjects of the King of Great Britain are entitled to.
N E W - Y O R K, June 28.
Extract of a letter from London, February 28.
"Very great subscriptions in all parts of England have been collected for buying corn and potatoes for the poor: the corn has been extremely dear, owing to the bad crops last year.—To see what luxuries all ranks of people aspire to, is really surprising, for I have just seen a footman behind a coach with an umbrella in his hand, because it rained; can you suppose any thing so ridiculous? and I imagine it will be of equal use to him in summer, to keep his delicate complexion from the scorching sun. All the fine gentlemen are getting gilt carriages like the ladies, and look like so many Indian chiefs. The duchess of Devonshire's bracelets are like a dog's collar: a piece of silver or gold plate lined with velvet, her name on one arm, and the place of her abode on the other."
S A L E M, July 10.
Orders were issued on the 16th ult. by Sir Guy Carleton, for delivering up to the proprietors all house and lands lately evacuated within the British lines. Also all estates, on their being evacuated subsequent to that time, were to be surrendered to the proprietors.
Intelligence from London, of the 17th of May, says, That the Emperor of Germany has not yet acknowledged, by any formal act, the independence of America: he has however, it is said, if he can help it, the other European powers to run away from his subjects with all the benefits of commerce with America. To this end his imperial Majesty has raised the Baron Van Bieden to the place of one of the Lords of Trade in Brabant, whom he means to send out without delay to America in order to negotiate the most advantageous treaty of commerce between his Flemish subjects and the United States of America.
P H I L A D E L P H I A, June 25.
Since the third of May near 200 vessels have arrived at this port from abroad, most of which have brought valuable cargoes.
The people in general, impressed with the just ideas of the utility of the five per cent. impost, regret its miscarriage, and begin to experience the baleful effects of a pernicious opposition. Had it been laid, agreeable to the Financier's plan, the duties which would have arisen on foreign articles already imported, would have produced a handsome fund for a speedy diminution of army debts; and the soldier's distress might have been greatly alleviated by a generous payment, besides the liquidation of his account, on receiving a dismission from the service.
The latest advices from the East Indies mention, that by late augmentations, the fleets of France and England amounted each to 17 sail of the line, besides 50's and frigates—a more formidable naval force than ever appeared in that part of the world.
B O S T O N, July 10.
A letter from Philadelphia, dated June 24, 1783, says, "Last week we had advice by express from Lancaster, that part of the troops stationed there, about 80 of them were marching to this town to seek a redress of grievances from the executive of the state.—The Council sent the letters to Congress for advice; who advised to their being stopped on the road, as the troops in the barracks here, we knew would join them, having mutinied but a few days before.—The President and his Council chose rather to rely on their negotiations in case of difficulty. The mutineers came into town last Friday—found those in the barracks, and on Saturday they marched up to the State-House, in number about 350, with drums & fife,—their bayonets fixed, and led by their sergeants.—They surrounded the house, placed guards at every door, and sent in a written message, to the President and Council, that unless their wages were all paid, their accounts settled, and full justice done them in 20 minutes they would let loose an enraged soldiery upon them.—After about three hours, they were prevailed upon to let us go home."
The President of Congress has summoned the members to meet at Prince town on Thursday next.
We learn, by a gentleman who left New-York a few days since, that a vessel had arrived there from London, with orders to evacuate New-York by the first of August.—This vessel also brought an account of a war having commenced between Holland and Great-Britain.

W HEREAS a petition hath been preferred to the General Assembly, signed Sarah Ross, and David Call, representing that said Sarah was lately seized of a lot of land in Portsmouth, with an house thereon, and bounded as follows, viz.—Beginning at the land now in the possession of John Sherburne, on the east, thence running westerly fronting on the main road leading from the meeting house to the creek, so called, 64 feet, and running northwardly 109 feet; bounded on the west by land of Jotham Odiorne Esq; deceased, and on the north east by land of John Wendell jr. so as to carry the breadth of sixty four feet until it comes to back to 170 feet, then northerly on said Sarah Ross's land with the priviledge of a well.—Which premises were conveyed to the said Sarah by her father, George Vaughan of Portsmouth, Esq; deceased, in his life time, by deed, dated June 22d, A. D. 1722, with other land for the use of said Sarah, and her children; that the said Sarah, being wholly destitute of all means of support, but the real estate aforesaid, conveyed said lot of land to the aforesaid David Call, and Wife, who paid the said Sarah, the full value thereof.
And whereas the said David, is apprehensive there may some doubt arise hereafter about the goodness of his title, to said lot of land;—Therefore, they jointly request the General Assembly, to grant them aid in the premises, and by a short act, to confirm the title in the land aforesaid, to the said David, his Wife and Heirs.
Upon which petition, the General Assembly, ordered, that the petitioners may be heard thereon before them, on the first Friday of their next session; and that in the mean time, they cause the substance of the petition, and order of court thereon, to be published three weeks successively, in the New-Hampshire Gazette, that any person, or persons, may then appear, and shew cause (if any they have) why the prayer thereof may not be granted.
