Be it enacted, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the secretary of the treasury be, and he is hereby authorised and directed to employ clerks, for such compensation as he shall judge reasonable, to complete, register, and record, under the direction of the supervisor of the district of South Carolina, the lists and abstracts of the valuation of lands and dwelling houses, and of the enumeration of slaves within the state of South Carolina; and under the direction of the supervisor aforesaid, to add to or deduct from the valuations aforesaid, of each individual, such a rate per centum as has been determined by the commissioners appointed for the said state, under the act intitled "An act to provide for the valuation of lands, and dwelling houses, and the enumeration of slaves, within the United States," agreeably to the provisions of the said act, of the act intitled "An act supplementary to the act intitled "An act to provide for the valuation of lands and dwelling houses, and the enumeration of slaves, within the United States," and of the act intitled, "An act to provide for equalising the valuation of unseated lands." Which lists and abstracts thus completed in conformity with the revisions and equalisations made by the commissioners aforesaid, shall have the same force and effect as if they had been completed, registered, and recorded, under the direction of the commissioners aforesaid, agreeably to the provisions of the abovementioned acts. The supervisor aforesaid shall be allowed in addition to his annual compensation, at the rate of three dollars per diem, for each and every day employed by him, in completing or superintending the completion of the lists and abstracts aforesaid. Provided, that the whole amount of the said additional allowance, shall not exceed five hundred dollars, and the said allowance, as well as the compensation of the clerks, employed by virtue of this section, shall be paid out of the monies appropriated, or which may hereafter be appropriated for defraying the expenses, incident to the valuation of houses and lands, and the enumeration of slaves, within the United States.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That the supervisor of the district of South Carolina be, and he is hereby authorised and directed, as soon as the assessment of the direct tax to be levied, and collected in the state of South Carolina, by virtue of the act intitled "An act to lay and collect a direct tax, within the United States," shall have been completed, to appoint for the whole of the said state, one or more surveyors of the revenue; who shall be authorised to make out the lists containing the sums payable, according to such assessment, for every dwelling house, tract, or lot of land and slave, within the said state.—Which lists shall have the same force and effect, as if they had been made for each assessment district, by a distinct surveyor of the revenues: the surveyors of the revenue, thus appointed for the whole state of South Carolina, shall likewise perform all the other duties, exercise all the powers, and receive the same compensation, which by virtue of the provisions still in force of any former act or acts, were directed to be performed, exercised, and received by the surveyors of the revenue for the several assessment districts; and so much of any act or acts, as directed the appointment of one surveyor of the revenue for each assessment district, is so far as relates to the state of South Carolina, hereby repealed.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the several supervisors, or officers acting as supervisors, may with the ap-
probation of the secretary of the treasury, unite, whenever such measure shall be thought expedient for the better collection of the direct tax, one or more assessment districts into one district, and appoint only one collector of the said tax, for the assessment districts thus united, any thing in any former act or acts, to the contrary notwithstanding.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That the accounting officers of the treasury be, and they are hereby authorised to settle the accounts of any of the commissioners or assessors employed in making the valuations, and enumerations abovementioned, in the state of South Carolina, although the same may not have been presented to, and certified by the commissioners aforesaid, in conformity with the provisions of the act intitled "An act to provide for the valuation of lands, and dwelling houses, and the enumeration of slaves, within the United States."

State of New-Hampshire. By the GOVERNOR. A PROCLAMATION.
INDIVIDUALS who have a proper sense of their dependence upon the Sovereign Ruler of the Universe, for life and health, for the success of their labors and enterprises, and all their enjoyments, and who call to mind their transgressions and unworthiness, will humble themselves before the throne of grace, confess their sins and supplicate divine favors; and as the prosperity and happiness of States and Nations, and all the public and social blessings we enjoy, flow from and are dependent upon the same, Almighty source, it highly becomes us as a people, to set apart certain times when we may unite together in acknowledging our transgressions, and in supplications for such favors as we may stand in need of.
Therefore, in conformity to the practice of our forefathers, and the long established usage of the State, I have thought fit, by and with advice of Council, to appoint THURSDAY, the ELEVENTH DAY of APRIL next, to be observed as a day of Humiliation, fasting and prayer throughout this State; and I do request that ministers and people of every denomination, would religiously dedicate said day, and assemble together at their respective places of public worship, that we may, with humble and contrite hearts, confess our sins and implore pardon of that Gracious Being whose tender mercies are over all his works.
That it would please Almighty God to prepare our hearts to pray, that we may ask aright for his Blessing; That he would be graciously pleased to Bless the people and government of this State, and of the United States, that we may become virtuous and holy, that so we may be a happy people; That he would guide and direct all in authority in our National and, State governments, that the Union of the States may be preserved, and such measures pursued as shall have the best tendency to secure our peace, liberty and safety, and that the high privileges with which we have been favored, may be transmitted to succeeding generations. That he would order the seasons of the year in mercy, bless and prosper our Agriculture, Commerce, Manufactories, and
Fisheries. That we may be preserved from War, from wasting and infectious diseases, and the blessing of health be continued; That all who are employed as instructors in the doctrines and duties of our holy religion, may be divinely taught, enabled to show the road to Heaven, and by their conduct and example, lead the way; That he would smile upon our seminaries of learning, that our youth may be trained to knowledge and virtue, prepared for usefulness in this life, and for happiness in the life to come; That vice & immorality may not prevail; the passions which make man a foe to his fellow man be restrained; a spirit of peace, harmony and christian charity abound, and the divine precepts of the gospel be known and practised throughout the world.
And I do recommend that all persons religiously abstain from labor and recreations, unbecoming the solemnity of the day. Given at the Council Chamber in Exeter, this eighth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and five, and of the Independence of the United States of America, the twenty ninth.
JOHN T. GILMAN. By His Excellency's Command, with advice of Council. JOSEPH PEARSON, Secretary.
FROM THE POLITICAL OBSERVATORY.
I suppose the difference between me and the federal governor of New Hampshire, in political matters, arises from the different periods of finishing our educations. We both belonged to the Washington school; but I finished my education in that school, when Washington was commander in chief of the armies of the United States, when our employment was to drive alien invaders from our land, that were invited here by native Americans to murder us as rebels for offering to plead for our own rights and privileges, when his motto was RESIST OR DEATH. I suppose the governor, received the finishing polish of his education, when John Adams was President of the college; when a standing army was raised and stationed in the heart of the country, whose employment was to drive aliens away that fled here for an asylum from slavery; when a sedition law was made, to punish those who dared to speak of their rights, or opposed his reign.
Fellow citizens! I warn you to take Washington for your example, and learn of him; you see a true scholar of his in the great Jefferson. If a foreign nation invade you, unite and repel them: if your internal enemies flatter you to take on the yoke, or swallow the gag, or dissolve the Union, or raise jealousies in one state against another, give them an "indignant frown," and spurn them from your councils.—Certain natives of your own country were always your work enemies; they are still among you; they were despised by all nations, even the British army despised them. Since the return of these murderers into your bosom, they have been working in the line of secret friends, which are more to be dreaded than open enemies. But now they are out from their lurking holes; you have nothing to fear but your own negligence. You must keep a vigilant eye, least they burrough again.
You are at peace with all nations, except Tripoli, old tories, apostate whigs and Robinson and Barruel's trumpeters; but their Lilliputian ties are broken; there is no fear of their rising; the British Lion is terrified at the crowing of the cock on the lilly of France, and is doubly fortifying his den; Hessians, can no more be had for breachworks; the Indians are turned Republicans. The foes of your freedom have no means but deception to set you to fighting one another and to enslave you.
Our excellent President is re-elected, to pursue, for another four years, his mild course of justice and humanity, to prefer honorable negotiation to war, and economy to profusion. May I never be moved by the crowing of cock, the roaring of lions, the bellowing of bulls, the braying of asses, the howling of wolves, nor the barking of puppies.
One of the survivors of BUNKER HILL.
The President has nominated General Hull, governor of the territory of Michigan; on Lake Erie; and the Rev. Stanley Griswold, to be secretary to General Hull.

Robert Smith has been nominated to the office of attorney general U. S. in the room of Levi Lincoln, resigned.—Aurora.
Monday, March 4, 1805.
Thomas Jefferson and Geo. Clinton, sen. have entered upon the duties of president and vice president of the U. S. to which they were elected for four years, commencing this day.
The president and vice president were sworn in as usual. Mr. Jefferson delivered the following
Address to both Houses:
Proceeding, fellow citizens, to that qualification which the constitution requires, before my entrance on the charge again conferred on me, it is my duty to express the deep sense I entertain of this new proof of confidence from my fellow citizens at large, and the zeal with which it inspires me, so to conduct myself as may best satisfy their just expectations.
On taking this station on a former occasion, I declared the principles on which I believed it my duty to administer the affairs of our commonwealth. My conscience tells me that I have, on every occasion, acted up to that declaration, according to its obvious import, and to the understanding of every candid mind.
In the transaction of your foreign affairs, we have endeavored to cultivate the friendship of all nations, and especially of those with which we have the most important relations. We have done them justice on all occasions, favored where favor was lawful, and cherished mutual interests & intercourse on fair and equal terms. We are firmly convinced, and we act on that conviction, that with nations, as with individuals, our interests soundly calculated, will ever be found inseparable from our moral duties; and history bears witness to the fact, that a just nation is trusted on its word, when recourse is had to armaments and wars to bridle others.
At home, fellow citizens, you best know whether we have done well or ill. The suppression of unnecessary offices; of useless establishments and expenses, enabled us to discontinue our internal taxes. These covering our land with officers, and opening our doors to their intrusions, had already begun that process of domiciliary vexation, which, once entered, is scarcely to be restrained from reaching successively every article of produce and property. If among these taxes some minor ones fell which had not been inconvenient, it was because their amount would not have paid the officers who collected them, and because if they had any merit, the state authorities might adopt them, instead of others less approved.
The remaining revenue on the consumption of foreign articles, is paid cheerfully by those who can afford to add foreign luxuries to domestic comforts, being reflected on our seaboard and frontiers only, and incorporated with the transactions of our mercantile citizens, it may be the pleasure and the pride of an American to ask—what farmer—what mechanic—what laborer ever sees a tax gathered on the United States?... These contributions enable us to support the current expenses of the government, to fulfil contracts with foreign nations, to extinguish the native right of soil within our limits; to extend those limits, and to apply such a farplus to our public debts, as places at a short day their final redemption; and that redemption once effected, the revenue thereby liberated, may by a just repartition among the states, and a corresponding amendment of the constitution, be applied, in time of peace, to rivers, canals, roads, arts, manufactures, education, and other great objects within each state; ...in time of war, if injustice by ourselves or others must sometimes produce war, increased as the same revenue will be by increased population and consumption, and aided by other resources, reserved for that crisis, it may meet within the year all the expenses of the year, without encroaching on the rights of
future generations, by burthening them with the debts of the past. War will then be but a suspension of useful works, and a return to a state of peace, a return to the progress of improvement.
I have said, fellow citizens, that the income reserved had enabled us to extend our limits; but that extension may possibly pay for itself before we are called on, and in the mean time may keep down the accruing interest: in all events it will replace the advances we have made: I know that the acquisition of Louisiana has been disapproved by some... from a candid apprehension that the enlargement of our territory may endanger its union...but who can limit the extent to which the federative principle may operate effectively? the larger our association the less will it be shaken by local passions; and in any view, is it not better that the opposite bank of the Mississippi should be settled by our own brethren and children, than by strangers of another family? with which shall we be most likely to live in harmony and friendly intercourse?
In matters of religion, I have considered that its free exercise is placed by the constitution independent of the powers of the general government. I have therefore, undertaken, on no occasion, to prescribe the religious exercises suited to it: but have left them as the constitution found them, under the direction and discipline of the state or church authorities acknowledged by the several religious societies.
The aboriginal inhabitants of these countries, I have regarded with the commiseration their history inspires: endowed with the faculties and the rights of men, breathing an ardent love of liberty and independence, and occupying a country which left them no desire but to be undisturbed, the stream of overflowing population from other regions directed itself on these shores: without power to divert or habit to contend against it, they have been overwhelmed by the current, or driven before it: now reduced within limits too narrow for the hunter state, humanity enjoins us to teach them agriculture and the domestic arts; to encourage them to that industry which alone can enable them to maintain their place in existence, and to prepare them in time for that state of society which to bodily comforts adds the improvement of the mind and morals. We have therefore liberally furnished them with the implements of husbandry and household use: we have placed among them instructors in the arts of first necessity; and they are covered with the aegis of the law against aggressors from among ourselves.
But the endeavours to enlighten them on the state which awaits their present course of life, to induce them to exercise their reason, follow its dictates, and change their pursuits with the change of circumstances, have powerful obstacles to encounter; they are combated by the habits of their bodies, prejudices of their minds, ignorance, pride, and the influence of interested and crafty individuals among them, who feel themselves something in the present order of things, and fear to become nothing in any other. These persons inculcate a sanctimonious reverence for the customs of their ancestors: that whatever they did must be done through all time; that reason is a false guide, and to advance under its council in their physical, moral or political condition, is perilous innovation: that their duty is to remain as their creator made them, ignorance being safety and knowledge full of danger; in short my friends among them also is seen the action and counteraction of good sense and of bigotry: they too have their anti-philosophers, who find an interest in keeping things in their present state, who dread reformation, and exert all their faculties to maintain the ascendancy of habit over the duty of improving our reason and obeying its mandates.
In giving these outlines, I do not mean, fellow citizens, to arrogate to myself the merit of the measures: that is due in the first place to the reflecting character of our citizens at large, who, by the weight of public opinion, influence and strengthen the public measures; it is due to the sound discretion with which they select from among themselves those to whom they confide the legislative duties: it is due to the zeal and wisdom of the characters thus selected, who lay the foundations of public happiness in wholesome laws, the execution of which alone remains for others; and it is due to the able and faithful auxiliaries, whose patriotism has associated them with me in the executive functions.
During this course of administration, and in order to disturb it, the artillery of the press has been levelled against us, charged with whatsoever its licentiousness could devise or dare. These abuses of an institution so important to freedom and science, are
deeply to be regretted, inasmuch as they tend to lessen its usefulness, and to sap its safety: they might indeed have been corrected by the wholesome punishments reserved to and provided by the laws of the several states against falsehood and defamation; but public duties more urgent press on the time of public servants, and the offenders have therefore been left to find their punishment in the public indignation.
Nor was it, uninteresting to the world that an experiment should be fairly and fully made, whether freedom of discussion, unaided by power, is not sufficient for the propagation and protection of truth?—Whether a government, conducting itself in the true spirit of its constitution, with zeal and purity, and doing no act which it would be unwilling the whole world should witness, can be written down by falsehood and defamation... the experiment has been tried... you have witnessed the scene... our fellow citizens have looked on cool and collected... they saw the latent source from which these outrages proceeded; they gathered around their public functionaries, and when the constitution called them to the decision by suffrage, they pronounced their verdict, honourable to those who had served them, and consolatory to the friend of man, who believes he may be entrusted with his own affairs.
No inference is here intended, that the laws provided, by the state against false and defamatory publications, should not be enforced: he who has time renders a service to public morals and public tranquility, in reforming these abuses by the salutary coercions of the law: but the experiment is noted to prove that, since truth and reason have maintained their ground against false opinions in league with false facts, the press confined to truth, needs no other legal restraint; the public judgement will correct false reasonings and opinions on a full hearing of all parties; and no other definite line can be drawn between the inestimable liberty of the press, and its demoralizing licentiousness. If there be still improprieties which this rule would not restrain, its supplement must be sought in the censorship of public opinion.
Contemplating the union of sentiments now manifested so generally, as auguring harmony, and happiness to our future course, I offer to our country sincere congratulations.—With those too, not yet rallied to the same point, the disposition to do so is gaining strength. Facts are piercing through the veil drawn over them; and our doubting brethren will at length see that the mass of their fellow citizens, with whom they cannot yet resolve to act, as to principles and measures, think as they think, and desire what they desire; that our will as well as theirs, is that the public efforts may be directed honestly to the public good, that peace be cultivated, civil and religious liberty unassailed, law and order preserved, equality of rights maintained, and that state of property equal or unequal, which results to every man from his own industry or that of his fathers. When satisfied of these views, it is not in human nature that they should not approve and support them; in the mean time let us cherish them with patient affection; let us do them justice, and more than justice, in all competitions of interest: and we need not doubt that truth, reason and their own interests will at length prevail, will gather them into the fold of their country, and will complete that entire union of opinion, which gives to a nation the blessing of harmony and the benefit of all its strength.
I shall now enter on the duties to which my fellow citizens have again called me: and shall proceed in the spirit of those principles which they have approved. I fear not that any motives of interest may lead me astray; I am sensible of no passion which could seduce me knowingly from the path of justice; but the weaknesses of human nature and the limits of my own understanding will produce errors of judgment sometimes injurious to your interests; I shall need therefore all the indulgence I have heretofore experienced; the want of it will certainly not lessen with encroaching years. I shall need too the favor of that Being in whose hands we are, who led our fathers, as Israel of old, from their native land, and planted them in a country flowing with all the necessaries and comforts of life; who has covered our infancy with his providence, and our riper years with his wisdom and power; and to whose goodness I ask you to join with me in supplications, that he will so enlighten the minds of your servants, guide their councils and prosper their measures, that whatsoever they do, shall result in your good, and shall secure to you the peace, friendship, and approbation of all nations.
Th: Jefferson.

A letter accompanied with an annual statement of the district postage of the United States on the 31st of December, 1804, together with an explanatory letter from the register of the treasury, were laid before the house.
The house proceeded to the consideration of the amendments proposed by the senate to the bill making appropriations for the support of government for the year 1805.
SATURDAY, FEB. 16.
The engrossed bill making an appropriation for the payment of witnesses summoned on the part of the United States to attend the impeachment of Samuel Chase, was read the third time and passed.
A petition was presented from Wm. Halling, of Hillsborough county, New-Hampshire.
Progress was made in several bills.
FROM WASHINGTON:
"From Washington March 1st, 1805."
The court of impeachment sat this day at half after twelve.
Prior to meeting at court, a deful-tory debate took place in the legislative chamber of the senate, on the mode of putting the question, in court—it was at length decided that the question should be put by the president to each member by name upon each several charge—"Mr. A. how say you, is Samuel Chase, Esq. one of the associate justices of the supreme court, guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors in the manner charged in the first article?"
Upon the court being opened and silence ordered on pain of imprisonment—and the managers and the members at large of the house of representatives, and the counsel of the judge being seated.
The president said,—Gentlemen, having heard the evidence produced by the managers of the house of representatives on the charges exhibited against Samuel Chase, Esq. one of the associate judges of the supreme court, you will now have to pronounce him either guilty, or not guilty, by your several votes.
The secretary will read the charges. The secretary then read the first charge, and,
The president then proceeded to put the questions to each member by name in the above form, proceeding alphabetically—and so with the whole of the eight articles, was the question put to every individual upon each several charge—and the votes were given on each, as in the annexed copy of the tally list.
After the votes on the whole of the charges had been given,
The president said—gentlemen, you have gone thro' the several articles and pronounced your verdict upon each, is it your pleasure that the names and votes be read over again that no mistake may escape—which being agreed to—
The secretary read the names and the votes upon each article—the votes in the affirmative together, and the votes in the negative together.
The president then declared the result to be as follows. It appears that the votes on the
  1st charge are, guilty 16 Not guilty 18   2d - 10 -   3d - 18 -   4th>4th - 18 -   5th - 60 -   6th - 4 -   7th - 10 -   8th - 19 - 
The president then said—from this statement, then it appears that there is not a constitutional majority on any one article and it therefore now becomes my duty to declare, that Samuel Chase, Esq. stands acquitted of all the articles of impeachment laid against him.
The court was thereupon dissolved.

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 1805.
We congratulate every honest American, on the evident change of sentiments manifested by the Citizens of this too long devoted State—on the dispersion of the mist of Federalism and the bright rising of the sun of Freedom. Our present returns, when compared with those of last year, are a pleasing testimony of this truth, and not a shadow of a doubt remains but our worthy patriot Col. Langdon will be elected by a very handsome majority and that the sun of Toryism is fat "never to rise again."

It is generally agreed by the Citizens of York County, to support the Hon. JONATHAN WOODMAN and JOSEPH STORER, Esq. as Senators.
The President's Speech Will be an unending theme for federalists the four succeeding years—Already the rancour of hatred has been displayed, and a train of scurrilous artillery plied against it. Unmeaning and unmeaning nonsense flows spontaneously from their pens. The charges brought against Mr. Jefferson, in the last Oracle, have been too often discussed to admit of any thing new being said on the subject—We wave it. It is to be lamented that there should exist a necessity to speak of the "licentiousness" of federal press; but so it is—However, their day of triumph (ever in this State) is past, and at this moment, and in this place they "find their punishment in the public indignation."

STATE OF NEW-HAMPSHIRE.
WILL be exposed to Sale, at Public Auction, that valuable tract of LAND, called the Itals Farm , containing about one hundred and twenty acres of choice good Land, lying in Atkinson, about 5 miles from Haverhill, (Mills) with the Buildings thereon, handsomely situated, with a commanding prospect, upon the great public road leading from the Coos country, through Plymouth, Concord, and Chester, to Haverhill, Newburyport, and other market towns. Said Farm consists of excellent mowing, tillage and pasture Land, plentifully watered by brooks and living springs. There are on the premises a large proportion of choice Fruit Trees, of various kinds—among which is a good Apple Orchard; many of the trees young, and by proper management would soon produce one hundred barrels of cyder yearly.—The Farm is inclosed, and consist of a number of convenient divisions, and most of the fences are of stone.—On the whole, it is an excellent stand for a tavern, and for business.— Sale to begin at the house on the premises, on THURSDAY the fourth day of APRIL next, at one of the clock P. M. unless prevented by a previous sale —and if sold at private sale, the purchaser or purchasers may also be accommodated with about twenty acres of choice Land, with the Mansion House, Barns, and out buildings thereon, formerly occupied by Gen. PEABODY, in said Atkinson. The premises are elegantly situated, at the junction of four public roads, upon a commanding eminence, with a delightful prospect, about sixty rods from the new Academy, and a hundred and fifty rods from the meeting house. There is on this, also, a large proportion of Orchard, Fruit Trees, Grape Vines, &c. of the best quality—with a fine, large productive Kitchen Garden; but it would exceed the bounds of a common advertisement to describe half the conveniences and properties attending the last mentioned premises; there is scarcely a more advantageous, convenient, desirable stand for business to be found in the country. If the whole of both situations are applied for immediately, they may be purchased on reasonable terms, and payment of a part of the purchase money made easy.
For further particulars inquire of the Rev. S. PEABODY, or of the subscriber living on the premises. GEORGE C. COPP. Atkinson, March 12, 1805.

State of New Hampshire.
PUBLIC notice is hereby given, that DEBORAH SHACKFORD , the wife of Josiah Shackford , late of Portsmouth, hath petitioned the General Court representing, That the General Court at their session in June A. D. 1795, on the application of said petitioner, passed an act empowering her to collect the debts due to her said husband who had been long absent, and in a deranged state of mind, and to sue for and take possession of his real estate, and lease it for her comfortable support. That she has as far as possible, collected his debts which were of no great amount, and has received some limited sums, the income or rent of his real estate; all of which has fallen far short of affording her a comfortable support, inasmuch that she has for several years struggled with many straits, quite unknown to her in the former part of her life.—That she is well informed that during several years last past, her said husband has resided chiefly at New-York; and is so far recovered as to do business.—That he falls as master of a vessel in the trade from that city to Demerara.—That he was pretty lately at the latter place and is well known and considered there as a respectable ship-master.—That he has written to him at New-York; but never received any answer.—That the true cause of his continuing absent, appears to be an invincible prejudice and antipathy he has conceived against his native place, and some of his natural relations, an account of some treatment which they thought salutary and suited to his case when quite in a deranged state of mind. That he being apparently making gain for himself abroad, and living in affluence, and your petitioner thus left, and willing only a competency, she hopes that the may have a subsistence from his estate here,—and she flatters herself that her prudence and economy will not be questioned by any who know her—the therefore prays the Court would take her case into their wise and equitable consideration, and by an act for that purpose, authorise and empower her to sell and convey a piece of land in Rochester of about fifty acres, belonging to her said husband, held in common with others, either in its undivided state, or to procure a division, and then sell it in severalty; and also a small lot and a water privilege in Portsmouth, and any other real estate to him belonging in any other town—and to convey and transfer all the right and title of the said Josiah, therein to any purchaser or purchasers for her comfortable support, according to her degree and rank in society; or otherwise grant her relief.
ORDERED, that the petitioner be heard before the General Court, on the first Tuesday of their next session, and that she cause the substance of said petition and order of Court thereon, to be published in the New-Hampshire Gazette, three weeks successively commencing twelve weeks prior to said day of hearing, that any person or persons may then appear, and show cause (if any they have) why the prayer thereof may not be granted.

FROM THE BALANCE.
FABLE OF THE PARROT.
A PARROT, of beautiful hue, Was kept by a lady, of late, And long was Poll nourish'd and grew. Contented and pleas'd with her fate. Her cage with fine gold was inlaid; Her food was the whitest of bread; And when night did the welkin o'ershade, The loftiest of down was her bed. Thus many a summer the pass'd, In happiness, splendor, and glee, 'Till tir'd of dependance, at last, Poor Poll often sigh'd to be free. One fine, rosy morn, in the spring, The door of her cage open stood, And Poll, with a fluttering wing, Escap'd to a neighboring wood. The birds of the grove throng around, The beautiful stranger to view, The hills, with their praises, resound, The vallies the echo renew. Poll hears their applause with delight; Of her beauty and wit she grows vain— When lo! a ravenous Kite, She is seiz'd and destroy'd on the plain.
MORAL.
Thus thoughtless maids, who rove from home, In quest of flattery to roam, Shall find when caution is too late, Their virtue meet the Parrot's fate.

SENATOR BINGHAM.
I perceive, Mr. Editor, that the federal- ists have deserted their old friend, Gen. Shepard, and named Mr. BINGHAM of Lempster, as their senatorial candidate for the 10th district. That they should discard the former gentleman, will appear strange to any one not acquainted with the merits of the latter: one heroic deed is related, which was scarcely exceeded by Quixote, and is of so brilliant and commanding a na- ture, and covers the author with so much glory, that the hero should not be suffered to lie longer in obscurity. The story has been thus told:—That being in a certain house, he discovered a cheap picture of Mr. JER- PERSON, placed over the mantle-piece to please the children. He proposed to buy it; the children objected; he offered 4 pence, 8 pence and up to 9 pence for it.— The children consented at length to part with the picture.—The hero, it is said, seiz- ed it and stretching it on a board, (not a guillotine) with a look of courage, mingled with fury, drew out his knife, and instantly separated the head from the body!! with- out making use of this expression, that he wished it had been the real man, instead of his picture.
Such acts ought not to pass unheeded, nor the author be suffered to consume his days in oblivion.—Such men should be brought into public notice, against the time of those "cries" spoken of by Gen. Ham- ilton.
Extract from Dr. Morton's beauty of the human structure.
"Had the calf of the Leg been Providen- tially and prominently placed before, instead of being preposterously and prejudicially placed behind, it had been evidently better; forasmuch as the human shin bone could not then have been so easily broken."

William King, PHYSIOGNOTRACE,
RESPECTFULLY informs the ladies and gentlemen of Port- mouth, that he has taken a room at Col. M. Woodward's Boarding House in Broad-street, where he purposed staying a short time to take
PROFILE LIKENESSES,
with his new invented patent Delineat- ing Pencil , which for accuracy, excels any machine before invented for that purpose. He reduces to any size from the shadow; therefore, the person is not incommoded with any thing passing over the face, nor detained over six minutes. The correctness of his PROFILES is well known, he hav- ing taken above eight thousand in Sa- lem, Newbury-port, and the adjoin- ing towns; and from them he has selected a few as specimens, that may be seen at his room,—where he has for sale, Elegant Frames , oval, round and square, either gilt or black, and the profiles handsomely framed at a moderate price—he has also for sale, Correct reduced profiles of the Pres- ident of the United States.
His price is 25 cents for two pro- files of one person, and the hours of attendance are from ten o'clock in the morning till nine in the evening.
WHEREAS a number of the inhabitants of the town of Portsmouth have not paid the Col- lector their taxes for the year 1804—and on his settlement with the Selectmen, there will be a large balance due the town, uncollected. It is therefore thought best, to have the list of the delinquents read over, at the annual town meeting, on Monday the 25th inst. that the inhabitants may know in whose hands the balance is.

Piscataqua Bridge.
THE Directors of Piscataqua Bridge Proprietors, have this day voted an assessment of TEN DOLLARS, on each and every Proprietors share; and directed the Treasurer to collect the same within one month from the date.
The Proprietors are therefore re- quested to pay the same to the Treas- urer, at his office in Portsmouth, on or before Wednesday, the third day of April next.
The Proprietors are informed that each year since the Bridge was built, there has been a progressive increase of toll: the amount collected the last year, is more than six per cent. on the first cost. But the repairs the last year, with what must necessarily be ex- pended the ensuing season, for which large advances have already been made by the several Directors, of the Bridge and Managers of the Lottery, amount to more than the toll collected since the last dividend. The proceeds of the lottery cannot yet be realised. SAMUEL ELLIOT, Treasurer. March 1, 1805.
