TUFTON BENNET, Constable. New-Chester, Feb. 19, 1793.
PUBLIC notice is hereby given, that a petition has been preferred to the General Court, by Nathan Hoyt, Esq. in behalf of the town of Moultonborough, setting forth, that about three or four years since, a tax of one penny per year, for two years, was granted upon each acre of the lands of non-residents of said town, for the purpose of making roads, &c. That said tax has been laid out accordingly, which by far falls short of making the roads such as they ought to be. That a new road is requisite through the easterly part of said town, to meet a road lately made through Tuftonborough to Dover—Wherefore he prays that a tax of one penny per acre may be granted on all the lands in said town, for the purpose of making roads, &c.
Upon which petition the General Court ordered an hearing before them, on the second Tuesday of the next session, and that in the mean time the petitioner cause the substance of said petition and order of court thereon, to be published in the New-Hampshire Gazette, three weeks successively, six weeks prior to the setting 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.

NATIONAL CONVENTION OF FRANCE.
Neutrality on the part of SPAIN.
SATURDAY, DEC. 29.
A LETTER from the Minister for Foreign Affairs was read, stating that the Charges des Affairs of the
Court of Madrid had just sent him two declarations of the Spanish ministry.
Copy of the first Declaration.
"The French government having testified to that of Spain, a desire of seeing that neutrality formally attested, which in fact prevails between the two nations; his Catholic Majesty has authorised the undersigned, principal Secretary of State, to declare by this note, that Spain will observe on its side, the strictest neutrality in the war in which France is engaged with other powers.
"This note shall be exchanged at Paris, with another signed by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, in which the same assurances shall be given on the part of France. ("Signed")
FIRMA DA LE DUC D'ALCUDIA.
"At Madrid, the 17th Dec. 1792."
Copy of the second Declaration.
"The Catholic King, in consequence of the neutrality agreed upon between Spain and the French Government, on an assurance of the friendship and good faith of the French nation, shall order the troops on the frontier to retire; retaining, in places of strength, the number necessary for the service, and that of their respective detachments, which shall be executed immediately after the French have delivered a declaration similar to the present, promising to act on their part in the same manner. Commissioners shall be appointed by both parties, to assist at the execution of this agreement, at the period which may be fixed; and all measures shall be taken with mutual consent, acting with that good faith which is proper.
"This note, signed by the principal Secretary of State, of his most Catholic Majesty, shall be exchanged at Paris, for another signed by the Minister of Foreign, affairs in which the same assurances shall be given on part of France. ("Signed")
FIRMA DA LE DUC D'ALCUDIA.
"At Madrid, Dec. 17, 1792."
These Declarations were accompanied with a letter from the Chevalier OCARIZ, the Spanish Charge des Affairs in France, of which the following is an extract:
Application to the National Convention on the part of Spain, in favour of LOUIS XVI.
"The declaration of neutrality demanded by the Minister of France, might have been considered as superfluous, but I am now going to give a new character of authenticity of those sentiments of candour, which have always distinguished the Spanish nation. It will be from the manner in which the French nation shall behave towards LOUIS and his family, that it will experience what reliance may be placed in the promises of Spain. This grand trial cannot be considered as foreign to the King of Spain—and his Majesty cannot be accused of wishing to intermeddle in the internal affairs of state when he makes his voice to be heard in favor of a relation, a friend, and an unhappy Prince."
Here the Charge des Affairs of the Court of Spain makes some general reflections on the situation of LOUIS XVI. tried by men, several of whom are his enemies, and whose opinions are tinged with partiality; and accused of crimes, which, were they proved, would not annul royal inviolability.
"It is impossible," continued he, "that the whole world should not behold with horror, the violence committed against a Prince, oppressed by the miseries of a long and rigorous captivity, and by the insults of some men, who think to aggrandize themselves by treading under foot greatness now fallen. A revolution can never excuse men for neglecting to shew that respect, which is ever due to misfortunes. Though the greater part of the French have not yet spoken out, the majority of them seem favorable to LOUIS, and if his enemies shall be able to exercise against him, the last violence, the French government will alone be accountable. It will then be evident that foreign nations cannot depend upon the promises of the French nation;
whereas a magnanimous conduct towards the Royal prisoner, who might be suffered to choose an asylum for himself and family, would be an evident testimony of the generosity of the French. What I now express to you as the wish of the King—is the wish of the Spanish nation;—and under these views his Majesty has ordered me to present to the Convention his most ardent intercessions."
A member moved, that all these pieces might be referred to the Diplomatic Committee, and that a report might be given in on them, after the trial of LOUIS XVI.
THURROT supported this motion, and requested that no papers from foreign powers respecting LOUIS XVI. whatever they might be, should be read before the conclusion of the trial.
CHARLES said, that no agent of the Republic ought to treat with any of those individuals called crowned heads, until by a solemn act they should acknowledge the French Republic.
After some debate, the Convention proceeded to the order of the day.
For the GAZETTE. Citizens of New-Hampshire.
THE important day approaches when you are to exercise one of your greatest privileges, no less than to choose whom you will serve. You are soon to choose your first magistrate, and for that purpose you should look around and see who will best do honor to that high office in the state, be should be a gentleman, whose polished manners have ingratiated him in your esteem, & who has made himself conspicuous by some faithful services in the public line, we have a right to place our confidence in more than one, least that one may think, that he alone is fit to govern. If the present gentleman has discharged his duty he will retire with conscious rectitude, and with the plaudits of his fellow citizens. This office should not be lucrative, and the honors of the appointment should be esteemed sufficient for the candidate's highest expectations. The salary and perquisites of office, should be expended in supporting a courtly appearance; that strangers may see that New-Hampshire shines like a star of the first magnitude and brilliancy. Mr. Treasurer GILMAN has attracted the attention of his fellow citizens, and although he may not offer himself as a candidate in opposition to the present gentleman in the chair, yet if he is called by the suffrages of the people to this high station, he will have too high a sense of their esteem to refuse their request; he cannot think it to be supplanting his friend, but rather the call or the voice of the people. His public services and fidelity has been long known to the people, and only mentioning his name is sufficient to ensure him his election. He is a gentleman furnished with a proper share of ambition and manly address, to support with firmness the dignity of the state, which otherwise might be wounded.
RUSTICUS.
For the GAZETTE.
Mr. MELCHER, Give the following a place in your Paper.
TO fill the vacancy occasioned in our town representation, by the election of The Hon. JOHN S. SHERBURNE Esq. to a seat in Congress—JOHN HALE, Esq. is proposed to the citizens of Portsmouth, as a gentleman every way qualified to serve them as their Representative the ensuing year,—our ticket for government officers will then stand as follows:
For Representatives,
GEORGE GAINS, } Esquires, JOHN PEIRCE, } JOHN HALE, }
For Senator for the District, JAMES SHEAFE, Esquire.
For Counsellor for the County, PHILLIPS WHITE, Esquire.
For Governor.
Citizen JOHN LANGDON.
The citizens of Portsmouth, are respectfully requested to consider of the propriety of these nominations, and if they approve, give them their hearty support; as the late amendments to the constitution have greatly lessened the weight and influence of this town in the scale of state policy.

BOSTON, March 6.
FROM HAVRE-DEGRACE—Dec. 17.
"I can scarcely describe to you, the confusion this country is in at this juncture; there are as many opinions as people, and scarce one retains the same an hour. On the 11th inst. the trial of the King commenced at Paris, when he was brought before the National Convention, to answer to the crimes alleged against him by that body. It was supposed by many, that he would be assassinated on his way from the Temple to the Convention, but in this they were deceived; the shops were all shut as he passed by, and the inhabitants retired in tears to avoid beholding the affecting situation of their unfortunate King; this of course softened the rage of some of his enemies in Convention: When before them, he appeared firm and serene, and answered the questions put to him, like a man of innocence; faults doubtless he has—few they are in opinion, compared to the crimes alleged against him. I believe him to be as good a friend to his country, as nine tenths of the National Convention; who, could we pry into the secrets of their hearts, we should cry out in the language of Scripture . "They are corrupt, and become abominable in their doings; their is none that doeth good—NO NOT ONE. The poor unfortunate King, I hope will not fall a Martyr to their rage; but will yet prove a saviour to his country. The scale is now upon a balance, and looks dark on the side of France. I sincerely hope my fears may be groundless. The Austrians have taken Frankfort, and have destroyed and taken two thousand French troops, with all their ordinance and stores. The poor Marquis LA FAYETTE still remains a prisoner in close confinement at Weisell; scarce a word is spoken of him in this country—forsaken by every party, I fear that good man will close a life that has been devoted to the cause of liberty and his country, in the confines of a prison; two of five that were taken with him have already died with the hardness of their fare—I hope in GOD he will not die."
Letters in town from London, of the date of Jan. 6, mention, that M. LE BRUN, one of the Executive Council of France, had demanded, thro' the medium of the French Resident, at the Court of St. James's a categorical explanation from Lord GRENVILLE, of the destination of the armaments making in Great-Britain; and of the object of those armaments. Some letters say, his Lordship did not return any answer to the demand; others inform, that an answer was given, but the purport of it had not been disclosed. These letters mention WAR as inevitable.
A letter from Edinburgh, dated Dec. 30, mentions, "From the present state of things it is more than probable, before this comes to hand, that Britain has declared WAR against France."
Extract of a letter from Edinburgh, dated 30th Dec.
"A vote for 25,000 seamen had passed the House of Commons; three guineas of bounty by the King and two guineas by the town, are offered for seamen to enlist. The carpenters were never so busy as they have been these two weeks, by-gone, fitting out ships of the line. To write you any news at present how things are going on in this country, would be improper, as above thirty persons have been taken up by the sheriff, for speaking, writing, &c."
Letters from Bristol, of the date of January 1, wear a pacific appearance; and give, as a reason for the continuance of tranquillity, the professions of loyalty which pour in from all parts of the country—Even reformation is not talked of, and unconditional attachment is the universal cry: So that the fears of Ministry are dissipated, a negotiation with France is talked of. These letters add, that Mr. PAINE had been burnt in effigy, in a great number of places; the fire of which was light by
copies of " The Rights of Man ." But he regards such frippery, as little as he feels the operation. Later letters than these breathe war.
The States of Holland, do not conceive the act of the French, in opening the Scheldt, worth going to War about.—So if England should declare War, the free navigation of that River must be a mere pretext.
It is very singular, that the founders of the new Constitution of France, have successively lost reputation, liberty and life. Many instances might be adduced in proof—we shall briefly state, that the once popular LA FAYETTE, has been compelled to fly his country, by the ingratitude of his fellow citizens, and now languishes in captivity—and that the remains of the once illustrious MIRABEAU have been scattered to the winds of Heaven; his statues have been demolished, and his memory proscribed.
Gen. Rufus Putnam arrived in town, since our last, from the Western Territory, and informs, that the Indians had not lately committed any depredations on the settlements on the Ohio, and Muskingum; and that the troops of the United States, were disciplining at their different cantonments.
PORTSMOUTH, March 13.
By a gentleman lately from Boston (whose knowledge of mankind is very extensive) we are informed, that the several banks at Boston, still stop discounting, owing to a jealousy of each other, and the want of confidence in the directors, which has thrown the commercial part of the town into great confusion, and has bankrupt many persons of heretofore good credit, who had wished to enlarge their views, who had embraced the terms held out by the various banks for discounting, whose sudden stoppage had nearly effected their ruin; in short we are informed that those banks are become the sinks of speculation, and even are thought to be the very funds for those purposes, and all concerned therein; stockholders are strongly suspected to be interested in those monewares, that the public papers may be bought up at a depreciated rate, and then appreciated in their hands. We hear the government of Massachusetts are looking into these affairs, and thus expose the principles upon which all the late stoppages have taken place. Banks begin to be considered as the most dangerous of all systems, and are esteemed only as institutions by which the stockholders may monopolize all the most valuable real property of the state, and instead of being aids to trade, are become nuisances to society, and if not carefully guarded, may become the object of popular fury, and the directors and stockholders, considered as the stamp-masters of old, and the office derogatory to a citizen. We are happy to know that the bank in this state is under the direction of gentlemen, whose wisdom and foresight does not permit them to exceed the bounds of prudence, and are content not to exceed the bounds of a moderate interest, and who chuse rather to serve those who have trusted to their generosity in the continuance of discounting only for them, rather than to embark in risque, which may bring any obliquy, or the appearance of any danger to themselves.
Further late European NEWS by way of New-York, to Jan. 9, state—That there were great alarms in Paris, and its vicinity, about the 30th of December, on the subject of the sentence of LOUIS, which had not then passed; but nothing serious took place—That Dumourier has advised the Brabantine people in the name of the French Republic, to assemble their primary and provincial assemblies and form themselves into a National Convention; the primary assembly at Brussels had actually assembled—That the main body of the French army is gone into winter quarters, but several strong detachments remain under arms; one of 17,000 men is forming near Antwerp, some of which disaffected Dutch, which alarms the states general, who are making active preparations, determined to defend their exclusive right to the Scheldt. That the Prussians occupy the heights of Nassau and city of
Frankfort, but the King had requested a truce of 3 months to go into winter quarters—That the King of Prussia had summoned Cuffine to surrender Mentz in 48 hours, who returned for answer, that he would allow his Majesty 48 years to consider of it—he considered himself in perfect security—That the former government of Geneva is completely annihilated, and equality men fill all the offices—That the Prince of Condi has entered the Austrian service with 6,000 men—That the French have 12 sail of the line in the Mediterranean, and 16 in Brest waters—That Spain has a large fleet equipped, 14 of which, with 12 frigates, have sailed towards Corsica, expedition unknown—That the Catholic petitions were received very graciously by the British King—That A.

peared before Maestricht, and another body of French troops were arrived at Aix la Chapelle—That societies of "Friends of Liberty and Equality," were formed in Ghent and all the Belgian towns—That the Tree of Liberty was planted in the square of the town of Lisle, amidst the acclamations of the people, by citizen Mamillon, captain of the Belgians and Legeoise united, who had rendered themselves masters of that fort and Liefkenhock, where they took seventeen Austrian prisoners, seized 14 pieces of cannon, and likewise the frigate which cruised on the Scheldt—That the success of the French arms had caused great alarm at the Hague—that the Dutch patriots had begun to think of availing themselves of these advantages, and were forming plans for inviting the French General, Dumourier, to the assistance of friends of liberty there, who wish to emancipate themselves from the chains which were riveted on them in 1787—that 4 French frigates and 4 tenders, well armed, had failed up the Scheldt with stores, to Antwerp—that the Dutch protested against their passing, but did not oppose them by force, though there were three British frigates then in the river—that Savoy had been formed into an 84th department of the French Republic, under the name of the department of Mont Blanc, and Messrs. Simon, Gregoire, Herault, and Jagot, chosen commissioners to organize it—That the Liegeoise had likewise determined to petition the National Convention to be united to France, as an 85 department.
That the armies of the French Republic amounted to 200,000, united by one common impulse, were carrying every thing before them like an irresistible torrent—that the British government had purchased several thousand tons of hemp, in the course of a week, and it was expected that large quantities of that article, which had lately been purchased by French agents, would be stopped at the Custom-Houses, and bought up for the government—that a proclamation had been issued, prohibiting the exportation of grain—that a chain of British frigates were cruising off the coast of France, to prevent corn being smuggled into that kingdom from England—That Warsaw, the capital of Poland, was in a state of great ferment, and the king using every effort to appease the multitude—that the Russian troops patrol the streets of that city, with cannon, and the people tell them that they expect the French will soon deliver them—that a fresh confederation had been entered into by the Polish emigrants, at Leipzig, in which they have sworn a perpetual union; after which they parted; some went to France, others to England, and some returned to their country, where they mean to act the part assigned them, for the restitution of the constitution of the first of May, 1791—that the diet of Ratisbon was open on the 16th of November last, where it was resolved, that the electorates of Cologne, Bohemia, Saxony, Brandenburg and Brunswick should furnish a triple contingent of troops, &c. to act against the French.
In addition to the above, and by the same vessel, a letter was received by a respectable merchant in N.York, from his correspondent in London, dated Jan. 9, which mentions, that the prevalent report was, "the arrival of an express, this moment, from the National Convention of France, announcing, that SENTENCE was passed on LOUIS, which condemned him to IMPRISONMENT during the war, and PERPETUAL BANISHMENT thereafter—That the Convention should not contend about the SCHELDT—and that they were inclined to support the principles of profound friendship with the British Nation."
The GAZETTE will in future be published on Tuesday's, the better to accommodate Mr. Silsby, the Western Post, who leaves this town the same day, which we think must likewise prove agreeable to our customers in general, as they will receive the News one day earlier than they usually have.
