MESSAGE:
AT a moment when the nations of Europe are in commotion and armed against each other, when those with whom we have principal intercourse are engaged in the general contest, and when the countenance of some of them towards our peaceable country threatens that even that may not be unaffected by what is passing on the general theatre, a meeting of the representatives of the nation in both Houses of Congress, has become more than usually desirable. Coming from every section of our country, they bring with them the sentiments and the information of the whole, and will be enabled to give a direction to the public affairs, which the will and the wisdom of the whole will approve and support.
In taking a view of the state of our country, we in the first place, notice the late affliction of two of our cities under the fatal fever, which in latter times has occasionally visited our shores. Providence in his goodness gave it early termination on this occasion, and lessened the number of victims which have usually fallen before it. In the course of the several visitations by this disease, it has appeared that it is strictly local, incident to cities and tide waters only; incomunicable in the country either by persons under the disease, or by goods, carried from diseased places; that its access is with the autumn, and it disappears when the early frosts come. These restrictions, within narrow limits of time and space, give security even to our maritime cities, during three fourths of the year, and to the country always.
Although from these facts it appears unnecessary, yet to satisfy the fears of foreign nations, and cautions on their part not to be complained of in a danger whose limits are yet unknown to them, I have briefly enjoined on the officers at the head of the customs, to certify with exact truth, for every vessel sailing for a foreign port, the state of health respecting this fever, which prevails at the place from which she sails; under every motive from character and duty to certify the truth, I have no doubt they have faithfully executed this junction. Much real injury, has, however, been sustained from a propensity to identify with this endemic, and to call by the same name, fevers of very different kinds, which have been known at all times, and in all countries, and never have been placed among those deemed contagious. As we advance in our knowledge of this disease, or facts develop the source from which individuals receive it, the State authorities charged with the care of the public health, and Congress with that of the general commerce, will become able to regulate with effect their respective functions in these departments. The burthen of quarantines is felt at home as well as abroad; their efficacy merits examination. Although the health law of the States should be found to need no present revival by Congress, yet commerce claims that their attention should ever be awake to them.
Since our last meeting the aspect of our foreign relations has considerably changed. Our coasts have been infested, and our Harbours watched by private armed vessels, some of them without commissions, some of them with illegal commissions—others with those of legal form, but committing piratical acts beyond the authority of their commissions. They have captured, in the very entrance of our harbours, as well as on the high seas, not only the vessels of our friends, coming to trade with us, but our own also. They have carried them off under pretence of legal adjudication, but not daring to approach a court of justice, they have plundered and sunk them by the way in obscure places, when no evidence could arise against them, maltreated the crews and abandoned them in boats, on the open sea, or on desert shores without food or covering. These enormities appearing to be unreach by any controul of their own laws, I found it necessary to equip a force, to cruise within our own seas, to arrest all vessels of these descriptions found hovering on our coasts, within the limits of the gulph stream, and to bring them in for trial as pirates.
The same system of hovering on our coasts and harbours, under color of looking enemies, has also been carried on by public armed ships, to the great annoyance and oppression of our commerce. New principles too have been interpolated into the laws of nations, founded neither in justice nor usage or acknowledgement of nations: according to these a belligerent sails to intercept a commerce with its own enemy, which it denies to a neutral, on the ground of its aiding that enemy in the war. But reason revolts at such an inconsistency—and the neutral having equal right with the belligerent to decide the question, the interest of our constituents, and the duty of maintaining the authority of reason, the only umpire between just nations, impose on us the obligation of providing an effectual and determined opposition to a doctrine so injurious to the rights of peaceable nations.—Indeed the confidence we ought to have in the justice of others, still countenances the hope, that a founder view of those rights will itself induce from every belligerent a more correct observance of them. With Spain our negotiations for the settlement of differences have not had a satisfactory issue. Spoliations during the former war, for which she had formerly acknowledged herself responsible, have been refused to be compensated but on conditions affecting other claims in no wise connected with them.—Yet the same practices are renewed in the present war, and are already of great amount. On the Mobile, our commerce passing through that river continues to be obstructed by arbitrary duties and vexatious searches.—Propositions for adjusting amicably the boundaries of Louisiana have not yet been acceded to. While the right is unsettled, we have avoided changing the state of things, by taking new posts, or strengthening ourselves on the disputed territories, in the hope that the other power would not, by a contrary conduct, oblige us to meet their example, and endanger conflicts of authority, the issue of which may not be easily controuled; but in this hope we have now reason to lessen our confidence.—Inroads have been recently made into the territories of Orleans and the Mississippi; our citizens have been seized and their property plundered in the very post of the former which had been actually delivered up by Spain, and this by the regular officers and soldiers of that government. I have therefore found it necessary at length, to give orders to our troops on that frontier to be in readiness to protect our citizens, and repel by arms any similar aggression in future.—Other details necessary for your full information of the state of things between this country and that shall be the subject of another communication.
In reviewing those injuries from some of the belligerent powers, the moderation, the firmness, and the wisdom of the Legislature, will all be called into action.

ble remedy, where that is competent, it is always the most desirable—but some of them are of a nature to be met by force only, and all of them may lead to it. I cannot therefore but recommend such preparations as circumstances call for. The first object is to place our sea-port towns out of the danger of insult. Measures have been already taken for furnishing them with heavy cannon for the service of such land batteries as may make a part of their defence against armed vessels approaching them. In aid of these it is desirable we should have a competent number of gun-boats: and the number to be competent must be considerable. If immediately begun, they may be in readiness for service at the opening of the next season. Whether it will be necessary to augment our land forces, will be decided by occurrences probably in the course of your Session. In the mean time, you will consider whether it would not be expedient, for a state of peace as well as of war, to organize or class the militia, as would enable us, on any sudden emergency to call for the services of the younger portions, unincumbered with the old, and those having families. Upwards of three hundred thousand able bodied men, between the ages of 18 and 26 years, which the last census shews we may now count within our limits, will furnish a competent number for offence or defence, in any point where they may be wanted, and will give time for raising regular forces after the necessity of them shall become certain; and the reducing to the early period of life all its active service, cannot but be desirable to our younger citizens, of the present as well as future times, in as much as it engages to them in more advanced age, a quiet and undisturbed repose in the bosom of their families. I cannot then but earnestly recommend to your early consideration the expediency of so modifying our militia system as by a separation of the more active part from that which is less so, we may draw from it, when necessary, an efficient corps, fit for real and active service, and to be called to it in regular rotation.
Considerable provision has been made, under former authorities from Congress of materials for the construction of ships of war, of 74 guns, these materials are on hand subject to the further will of the Legislature.
An immediate prohibition of the exportation of arms and ammunition is also submitted to your determination.
Turning from these unpleasant views of violence and wrongs, I congratulate you on the liberation of our fellow citizens, who were stranded on the coast of Tripoli, and made prisoners of war. In a government bottomed on the will of all, the life and liberty of every citizen become interesting to all. In the treaty, therefore, which has concluded our warfare with that state, an article for the ransom of our citizens has been agreed to. An operation by land, by a small band of our countrymen, and others engaged for the occasion, in conjunction with the troops of the ex-Bishop, of that country, gallantly conducted by our late Consul, Eaton, and their successful enterprize on the city of Derne, contributed doubtless to the impression which produced peace; and the conclusion of this prevented opportunities of which the officers and men of our squadron destined for Tripoli, would have availed themselves, to emulate the acts of valor exhibited by their brethren in the attack of the last year. Reflecting with high satisfaction on the distinguished bravery displayed whenever occasions permitted in the late Mediterranean service, I think it would be an useful encouragement, as well as a just reward, to make an opening for some present promotion by enlarging our peace establishment of captains and lieutenants.
With Tunis, some misunderstandings have arisen, not yet sufficiently explained, but friendly discussions with their ambassador recently arrived, and a mutual disposition to do whatever is just and reasonable, cannot fail of dissipating these. So that we may consider our peace on that coast generally, to be on as found a footing as it has been at any preceding time: Still it will not be expedient to withdraw immediately, the whole of our force from that sea.
The law providing for a naval peace establishment, fixes the number of frigates which shall be kept in constant service in time of peace; and prescribes that they shall be manned by not more than two-thirds of the compliment of seamen and ordinary seamen. Whether a frigate may be trusted to two-thirds only of the proper compliment of men, must depend on the nature of the service on which she is ordered, that may sometimes for her safety, as well as to ensure her object, require her fullest compliment. In adverting to this subject, Congress will perhaps consider whether the best limitation on the executive discretion in this case, would not be by the number of seamen which may be employed in the whole service, rather than by the number of vessels. Occasions oftener arise for the employment of small, than of large vessels: and it would lessen risk as well as expense to be authorized to employ them of preference, the limitation suggested by the number of seamen, would admit a selection of vessels best adapted to the service.
Our Indian neighbours, are advancing, many of them with spirit, and others beginning to engage in the pursuit of agriculture and household manufacture. They are becoming sensible that the earth yields subsistence with less labour than the forest, and find it their interest from time to time to dispose of parts, of their surplus and waste lands, for the means of improving those they occupy, and of subsisting their families while they are preparing their farms: since our last session the northern tribes have sold to us the lands between the Connecticut reserve and the former Indian boundary, and those on the Ohio, from the same boundary to the rapids, and for a considerable depth inland. The Chickasaws and Cherokees have sold us the country, between and adjacent to the two districts of Tennessee; and the Creeks, the residue of their lands in the fork of the Ocmulgee up to the Oconeehatchee; the three former purchases are important, inasmuch as they consolidate disjoined parts of our settled country and render their intercourse secure; and the second particularly so, with the point on the river which we expect is by this time ceded by the Piankeshaws; it completes our possession of the whole of both banks of the Ohio, from its source to near its mouth, and the navigation of that river is thereby rendered forever safe to our citizens settled and settling on its extensive waters; the purchase from the Creeks too has been for some time particularly interesting to the state of Georgia.
The several treaties which have been mentioned, will be submitted to both Houses of Congress for the exercise of their respective functions.
Deputations now on their way to the seat of government from various nations of Indians inhabiting the Missouri and other parts beyond the Mississippi, come charged with assurances of their satisfaction with the new relations in which they are placed with us, of their dispositions to cultivate our peace and friendship, and their desire to enter into commercial intercourse with us.
A state of our progress in exploring the principal rivers of that country, and of the information respecting them hitherto obtained, will be communicated to you as soon as we shall receive some further relations which we have reason shortly to expect.
The receipts of the treasury during the year ending on the 30th September last, have exceeded the sum of thirteen millions of dollars, which, with not quite five millions in the treasury at the beginning of the year, have enabled us, after meeting other demands, to pay nearly two millions of the debt contracted under the British treaty and convention, upwards of four millions of principal of the public debt, and four millions of interest: these payments, with those which had been made in three years and a half preceding, have extinguished, of the funded debt, nearly eighteen millions of principal: Congress, by their act of Nov. 10th, 1803, authorized us to borrow 1,750,000 dollars towards meeting the claims of our citizens assumed by the convention with France: We have not, however, made use of this authority, because the sum of four millions and an half, which remained in the treasury on the same 30th day of September last, with the receipts which we may calculate on for the ensuing year, besides paying the annual sum of eight millions of dollars, appropriated to the funded debt, and meeting all the current demands which may be expected, will enable us to pay the whole sum of 3,750,000 dollars, assumed by the French convention, and still leaves us a surplus of nearly a million of dollars at our free disposal; should you concur in the provision of arms and armed vessels recommended by the circumstances of the times, this surplus will furnish the means of doing so.
On this first occasion of addressing Congress since, by the choice of my constituents, I have entered on a second term of administration, I embrace the opportunity to give this public assurance, that I will exert my best endeavors to administer faithfully the executive department; I will zealously co-operate with you in any measure which may tend to secure the liberty, property and personal safety of our fellow citizens, and to consolidate the republican forms and principles of our government.
In the course of your session you shall receive all the aid which I can give for the dispatch of the public business, and all the information necessary for your deliberations, of which the interests of our own country, and the confidence reposed in us by others will admit a communication.
(Signed.) TH: JEFFERSON.
December 3, 1805
From the Baltimore Evening Post. The progress our legislature has made towards reformation in our courts of law (we cannot term courts of justice) is certainly deserving the approbation of all good men of whatever "rank or persuasion, religious or political." It is one step to the recognition of the right, that the people, either of their own motion or through the medium of their representatives, have the power to say and define in what manner justice shall be administered, "the twenty thousand volumes," and the phalanx of judges and lawyers to the contrary notwithstanding.
The object of courts, no doubt, was, originally intended to be a "terror of evil doers and a praise to the them that do well," but in their present system, organization and practice, they are rather the strong hold of the dishonest, and the terror of the meek, honest and peaceable citizen. In fact one might suppose, that they had been created for the sole purpose of protecting the litigious, and providing a means of subsistence for lawyers and judges.
As, according to the latter precedents, a judge cannot be found guilty, having in the very name something to which the representatives of the people must look with reverence, it becomes a matter of necessity for the people to embrace every opportunity of lessening their influence, and convincing them that they are neither more or less than men like themselves—liable to the same failings and infirmities.
Every legislature, in proportion to its integrity and fineness, will advocate measures which tend to the introduction of equal and speedy justice to all men—and to simplify that herd of forms, precedents, and ceremonies which the honest citizen is as little acquainted with as with the laws and usages of the antedeluvian. Almost every man, upon the narration of a case, from each party therein interested, can tell what is justice, but we defy him to designate what is law, or what is paramount to that which is generally understood to be law, precedent. A hodge-podge medley of decisions and counter-decisions of honest men or infamous rascals—learned men, or perfect blockheads—The name of lord chief justice of the court of king's bench gives sanction to any thing.

"I send you forty stand of colours conquered by my army in the different engagements which have taken place since that of Werningen. It is a homage that I and my army do to the flags of the Empire; It is a present that children make to their fathers. Senators, behold in it a proof of my satisfaction for the manner in which you have constantly seconded me in the most important affairs of the Empire. And you Frenchmen, make your brothers march, make them run to fight by our side, that without effusion of blood, without effort, we may drive far from us all the armies that the gold of England is forming, and confound the auxiliaries of the oppressors of the seas. Senators, it is not a month since I told you, that your Emperor and his army would do their duty."
Since my taking the field, I have dispersed an army of an hundred thousand men: I have made nearly the half of them prisoners; the rest are killed, wounded or deserted and reduced to the greatest consternation. These brilliant successes I owe to the love of my soldiers, to their constancy in supporting fatigue. I have not lost fifteen hundred men killed or wounded. Senators, the first object of the war is already accomplished. The Elector of Bavaria is re-established upon his throne. The unjust aggressors have been struck as it by a thunderbolt, and, with the help of God, I hope, in a short space of time, to triumph over my other enemies.

Capitulation of the city of Ulm.
On the 17th October, the city of Ulm, occupied by the Austrians, under the command of General Mack, capitulated to Marshal Berthier, commanding the French army before that place. The following is the substance of the conditions: The city of Ulm shall be delivered up to the French with all its magazines and artillery—The garrison to march out with the honors of war—The officers to return to Austria upon parole—The soldiers to be conveyed to France, and remain until exchanged—The officers and soldiers to have their effects—The sick and wounded to receive the same attendance as the French—The 5th article states, that if a corps of the army capable of raising the blockade of the city of Ulm shall present itself on the 3d Brumaire, (25th October) before noon then the garrison of this town shall be disengaged, from the present capitulation, and shall be at liberty to do what it will—One of the gates of Ulm to be delivered up to the French army and a sufficient quarter to contain a brigade—all the horses of the cavalry, artillery, and waggons belonging to the Austrians to be delivered to the French.
No reinforcements to relieve the garrison, as mentioned in the 5th article not having arrived, the capitulation agreed on between Marshal Berthier and Gen. Mack we carried into effect on the 28th by which 47 thousand men, three thousand horses, eighteen Generals and between sixty and eighty pieces of cannon with trains, fell into the hands of the French. The half of the Emperor's guards were already set off for Augsburg; but His Majesty has consented to remain here to-morrow, to see the Austrian army file off. Every day gives more assurances that of this army of a hundred thousand men, not twenty thousand will have escaped; and this immense result is obtained without the effusion of blood.
On the evening of the 28th Bonaparte will set off for Munich. The Russian army have reached the Inn.
NEW-HAMPSHIRE LEGISLATURE.
ANSWER OF THE SENATE TO THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH. May it please your Excellency.
THE Senate are highly gratified in having the pleasure of meeting your Excellency at this leisure season of the year, the most convenient time to deliberate upon, and settle the affairs of the State, both of a public and private nature; and tender reciprocal congratulations to your Excellency, on the continuance of the unexampled prosperity of the nation generally; and in particular, that the dispute with Tripoli, has been so honorably and advantageously settled by the United States.
We humbly conceive, that all classes of citizens, most without hesitation place the fullest confidence in the wisdom and integrity, so illustriously exhibited in the administration of the General Government—since it has uniformly preferred the principles of justice and humanity, to those of ambition and lust for power and aggrandizement, in the execution of which, among many others, the haughty Tripolitans have been sufficiently humbled, and our captive fellow citizens, thereby restored to the welcome embraces of their country and friends.
We are fully sensible that agriculture is of primary importance in this State, and the most beneficial of all employments—as it is the source from whence all the comforts of life are derived, and all other employments depend, so it is the most honorable and virtuous.
Deeply impressed with a sense of the advantages of literature, in maintaining a Democratic Republic, and promoting virtue and social happiness among mankind—and the necessity there is, that in such a government, founded upon equal rights and privileges, the people should be well informed, and capable of judging for themselves; we shall not be inactive as Legislators or citizens, to do all in our power, to promote and encourage the progress which is now making, that the effect of those exertions, may secure a lasting foundation for domestic and national happiness.
As the wisest and best defence of our country consists, in a well regulated Militia, duly organized, we cannot but feel deeply interested in its welfare. It shall be our study to aid and assist that zeal and activity, which has been manifested the present year, by both officers and men, in discharging their several duties so promptly throughout the State—and to remedy the disadvantages they labor under, shall receive our early and careful attention.
It is with some surprise, we learn, from your Excellency, that the Acts of the Legislature have not been recorded for many years, but feel happy to have received this seasonable notice, and but for that ready and careful attention, which you have so uniformly manifested in every station to which our fellow citizens have called you, we should perhaps, have remained in ignorance of the hazard to which our State Laws were exposed through the neglect of the former Secretary.
We place the fullest confidence in your abilities and readiness, to concur with us, in every measure, which shall be deemed for the security and advantage of our fellow citizens, and pledge ourselves, that the various subjects, which your Excellency has been pleased, so candidly to point out for our consideration, shall receive our most prompt attention, hoping our deliberations and exertions, with the assistance of Divine aid, will crown with success our good intentions, to promote the welfare of our fellow citizens.
ANSWER OF THE HOUSE.
May it please your Excellency, WE cheerfully unite in congratulating you on the peace, internal tranquility, and general prosperity of the United States—and on the success of our arms against one of the Barbary Powers, by which our citizens have been released from slavery, and restored to the arms of their friends and the bosom of their country.
This season of the year affords sufficient leisure to enact such laws as the present exigencies of the State require, and to make further progress in the improvement of our general system. The inconveniences which arise from holding the stated session of the Legislature at an improper season of the year, may soon be remedied, should our fellow citizens think them of sufficient importance, to justify their calling a convention to revise the Constitution.
The great importance, of our agricultural interest, which claims our attention; and we will endeavor to devise means to encourage our Agriculture, Commerce and Manufactures, and to facilitate the intercourse between the Interior and more remote parts of this State and its Capital.
We think it our duty to encourage and promote Literature, not only as essential to a free government, but as the surest means of cultivating piety, morality, and the social virtues.
We consider a well regulated militia, as the only sure defence of our liberty and are impressed with the importance of duly organizing, arming and disciplining our Militia—The spirit, activity, order, and patriotism which our armed citizens displayed at their late military reviews, were highly gratifying to us, and honorable to themselves; time and experience will be necessary to perfect our Militia laws but we trust that the Legislature will, from time to time, adopt such measures, as experience may point out for the improvement of our Military system.
The state of our finances shall receive all that attention, which the importance of the subject requires.
We conceive it to be our duty to make reasonable provision for supporting the credit of the State, but at the same time strictly to adhere to the principles of political economy lest we should impose an unnecessary burden upon ourselves and our constituents.
All those measures to which your Excellency has been pleased to direct our attention, shall receive our deliberate consideration and we will cheerfully unite with your Excellency in all such measures as shall tend to promote the tranquility of our fellow citizens, and the general welfare of the State.
Portsmouth, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1805.
THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
If there ever was a man calculated to confound his enemies, by the magnanimity of his conduct, it is Mr. JEFFERSON. While reading his late message, we scarcely know which most to admire, the political energy of his character, in vindicating the honor of his country, or the philosophical benignity of his mind in disregarding the torrent of abuse and calumny of his enemies. Rising superior to that derogatory petulance which has heretofore lessened the respectability of some high in office, he seems only desirous to lay before the legislature such important matters as embrace the happiness and prosperity of the citizens in every section of the Continent. The melancholy and distressed situation of those cities visited with sickness the last summer, is noticed with that sympathy which bespeaks the sensibility of his heart; and while he feels for their private misfortunes, he proposes such measures for the future relief of our trade abroad, from the injurious delays of quarantine, as must ever stop the mouth of those calumniators who have said that "he did not favor commerce." By this it appears he favors it in every particular: for so minute an attention to guard our merchants against the effects of unnecessary detention, could not have been recommended by him, unless he had the strongest disposition to encourage and promote the mercantile interest.
This communication is a document highly honorable to the President, as it exhibits him in the dignified attitude of describing our wrongs, and at the same time proposing ways and means to remove them. He does not vaunt in the language of disgusting revenge and resentment, but describes in the energetic style of national assurance, founded on rectitude, the injuries we suffer from the wanton conduct of the belligerent powers. He places the country on its own ground of defence, and feels conscious in the support of his fellow citizens, by aiding and assisting him in every proper effort, to defend the honor of the nation and the interest of individuals. It is expected, from the leading sentiments of the Message, that the force of the United States will be more particularly exercised within the powerful sphere of commercial restrictions.
As the President observes, if we must have recourse to the contest of trying "which party can do the other the most harm," the mode of warfare points to this issue.—A Navy could not do so much harm as an Embargo, non-intercourse, or any other commercial exertion. A seventy four gun ship would cost the U. States an immense sum, and after she was completely fitted for sea, could not produce any harm in proportion to the sloppage of one ship's freight of British manufactures. Admit we had two or three such ships; yet we have to contend against those who have many more to oppose them. If the ships were captured we should meet with a serious loss; whereas, prohibiting our intercourse, would be saving our money, and at the same time operate with ten fold effect to harm the enemy. The great object to be contemplated is, how we are to begin a controversy, which will have a probable tendency to make our enemies respect our national and neutral rights. If we adopt an hostile mode, of fighting with public ships of War, we place ourselves to a disadvantage, with one of the powers in particular, as their strength lies solely within this species of warfare. We engage them on the very element in which they have always boasted of their prowess. But if we know our own strength and their weakness, it will lead us to encounter England, not by attempting to kill her sailors, but making the merchants and manufacturers experience the folly of their government in forcing us to a commercial resistance. This is striking at the root of British policy, in their conduct towards us at this interesting period of their War.—Chiron.
From Washington, FRIDAY, DEC. 6, 1805.
A bill to prohibit the exportation of arms and military stores, was reported, referred and made the order of the day for Monday next. SECRET SESSION
A confidential Communication having been received, from THE PRESIDENT of the United States, by his Secretary, the doors were ordered to be closed, and continued closed two hours. The House then adjourned to Monday.
Commodore PREBLE, we learn, has been sent for by express, to repair to the City of Washington; and is now on his journey thither.
GENERAL EATON on his way to the North, has received continued marks of distinction—In Frederickburg a public dinner was given him, and a number of toasts drank. Gen. EATON gave the following Volunteer—"The British LYON—if he continues to prowl among our flocks, let us invent measures to share his WHEELS." If Gen. EATON is a federalist (and the party have claimed him as such) we with all who call themselves federalists, were like him; then we should be, in the emphatic language of Mr. JEFFERSON, "all Republicans, and all Federalists."
We are informed, that Thursday evening last, Mr. Peter Severance of Chester, fired at and killed Mr. Benjamin Wicher of Bolcawen, and badly wounded another man; the murderer is committed to Exeter jail.

OBITUARY NOTICES. With the names which have attached the largest portion of respect and esteem, it is our painful duty to encircle that of Mrs. ASAHIL PICKERING , relict of the late Hon. John Pickering, L. L. D. and eldest daughter of Jacob Sheafe, Esq. deceased, formerly an eminent merchant of this town. The unexpected and melancholy event of the decease of this excellent woman, took place on the 10th inst. in the 63rd year of her age. Seldom does the grave close over a victim more highly recommended by the virtues which dignify and adorn the female character. Endowed by nature with an excellent understanding, sound sense and an uncommon judgment displayed themselves in all her actions. The circle of duties, moral and domestic, it was her constant endeavour to fulfil. As a wife, she was affectionate and faithful; as a mother, tender indulgent and exemplary; "She opened her mouth with wisdom, and in her tongue was the law of kindness; her children arise up and call her blessed." As the head of a family, liberal without profusion, economic without parsimony. As a christian, pious without ostentation, religious without bigotry or fanaticism. In friendship sincere, in her deportment courteous and benevolent to all. "A woman that feareth the Lord she shall be praised, and let her own works praise her in the gates."
December 9th 1805—Departed this life after a long and distressing illness, Miss HANNAH FIELD , aged 23 years. She was supported in her sickness by the gracious consolations of the gospel, tho' previous to these consolations she had very distressing trials and temptations, yet being delivered by her glorious Redeemer she manifested an humble resignation to the divine will until her last struggles, and we trust finished her course with joy—She was a virtuous young woman, may the youth follow her example as far as she followed Christ. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors: and their works do follow them."

MONEY AT STAKE! AND who would value risking a small five Dollar Bill when the fascinating charms of Fortune, is inviting us to put ourselves in her way, as she has favors innumerable to bestow on her devotees. Some years since, when the Hon. General Court sat at Exeter, a member, was urged very much to gain his will to buy a ticket. Not knowing the rich favor that was in store for him, but behold the result! before the court rose, the highest prize was drawn opposite his number; and he not only had his valuable consideration for court attendance to carry home with him, but his Portman-square, flowed with the richest and most fashionable commodities of Bank bills, and gold and silver in abundance! Now, if each honorable Member would take this gentle hint, and call at the truly fortunate Lottery Office and Book Store of CHARLES PIERCE , with a five dollar bill in his hand, and exchange for a Ticket in the excellent Piscataqua Bridge Lottery , they would not only be encouraging an act of their own wise sanctioning, but be putting themselves in fortune's way; to be well loaded with her richest Gifts. They would also be encouraging the Piscataqua Bridge , which is esteemed one of the most beautiful pieces of mechanism, which graces this western world, and which is the admiration of travellers of all countries and climes, and the convenience of which, for pleasant travelling, many of the honorable Members have witnessed in their tour to this METROPOLIS OF THE STATE . This Lottery will commence drawing the first day of next month. It being new-year's day. Fortune's New year's presents will be lavished forth with a liberal hand!
