The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 22.
CONCORD, (N. H.) Dec. 1. On Saturday evening last, his Excellency Governor GILMAN, and suite, arrived in town from Exeter.
LEGISLATURE. On Monday, the committee from both branches, waited on his Excellency the Governor, informing that a quorum of each was present, and ready to receive his communications. He assigned Tuesday at 12 o'clock to meet the two Houses in the Representatives Chamber.
Agreeably to appointment, on Tuesday at 12 o'clock, his Excellency, attended by the Council, came in, and addressed the Senate and House of Representatives in the following S P E E C H.
Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives SELECTED by the citizens of the State, and assembled at this time agreeably to your own determination, for the important purpose of promoting the general welfare; it must afford great satisfaction, that our systems both of State and National Government are so well adapted to this desirable end. To redress public grievances, if any such there are, and to make laws calculated to secure the blessings of liberty and advance the happiness of the people, must be a pleasing employment.
The great degree of harmony and tranquillity, so apparent as it respects the internal concerns of the State, must be highly gratifying; and if the welfare of the people requires an amendment to any of the laws now in force, or that new laws should be made, these circumstances must be known to their representatives.
United with other States by a Federal compact, for certain purposes, our interests are inseparably connected with that government, which is endeared to us by the highly beneficial effects it has produced.
When we see a foreign nation overturning ancient systems of government, without any regard to their form: extending robbery and devastation as far as their forces can reach; when we see them contemning all moral and religious obligations; despoiling national compacts; plundering our citizens while in pursuit of lawful commerce; insulting our government, and threatening us with the fate of nations it has degraded and destroyed! At such a time as this, we should highly prize the blessings of good government, and determine with one voice and mind, to support and defend our rights and privileges, against all hostile attempts whatever.
Much of the blood and treasure of the United States of America, has been expended themselves in such manner as they should choose: this great object being gained, our system of general government has been formed in as free a manner, and under circumstances as favorable, perhaps more so, than that of any government which ever existed over such an extensive territory. It is such a system as the people have chosen—may be altered when it shall be found necessary—the persons appointed to administer it, return to the class of citizens at short intervals, and others are selected in their places. What more can be desired? If this is destroyed, where shall we look for a free government?
While the French nation was apparently pursuing measures for the promotion of liberty, they had the good wishes at least, of a large proportion of the citizens of the United States; but, unfortunately for our country, they have had much encouragement from the conduct of many citizens, when it seemed almost impossible that any one should entertain an idea that the freedom of man was their object—after they had prostrated governments, once free, and tyrannized over the citizens—and after it had become apparent, that universal domination was their object.
The conduct of those who rule over the French nation, has for a long time been hostile to our own: By their arts and intrigues aided by the conduct of some of our own citizens, our Government has been traduced; attempts have been made, and in some instances succeeded, in exciting unreasonable jealousies among the people, persuading them that they have a separate interest from those whom they have elected to administer the Government—no services, however wife, faithful and disinterested, and however long continued, have been sufficient to secure some of our best citizens from calumny; and some of our own periodical publications seem to be profligated to this purpose: I need only mention the attempts to abuse a WASHINGTON, and an ADAMS!
Peace, on honorable terms, is undoubtedly the desire of all good citizens—the conduct of the President, in sending three Envoys Extraordinary and Ministers Plenipotentiary to the French Republic, is full evidence of his opinion on this subject. Before the instructions given these Envoys were made public, reports were circulated, that the President had not a desire for peace; and suspicions were excited, that his instructions were not calculated for that purpose: But when they became public, it was acknowledged by the enemies of his administration, that these reports and suspicions were without foundation. The instructions are in the hands of many citizens, and should be read by all; It is difficult to imagine how they could have gone further, without deeply wounding the interest and independence of our country.
These extraordinary exertions having failed of the desired effect, it is not easy to discern what more can be done in this way. Determined to preserve our rights as an independent nation, such measures will undoubtedly be taken by the General Government as shall appear best calculated for that purpose; and I rejoice that the citizens of this state are
so well united, and have given so many proofs by the official acts of the Legislature, and otherwise, of their firm adherence to our national Government, confidence in its administration, and determination to support it.
Presuming that a Law establishing a new proportion of Taxes, will be passed the present session; and as it usually requires a considerable time to determine the principles, and prepare the bill; permit me to recommend an early attention to this subject.
The present state of the Treasury will be laid before you, from which you will be enabled to determine what further measures may be necessary respecting the finances of the State.
A letter from his Excellency the Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in an alteration in the Legislature respecting an alteration in the Constitution of the General Government—also a letter from his Excellency the Governor of the State of Connecticut, and a resolution of the Legislature of the same state—will be laid before you; the subject is highly important, and I doubt not will be duly considered. Whatever bills you may think proper to pass will be attended to with candor; and it will be highly pleasing to me, to unite with you in measures calculated to advance the welfare of our common Country.
JOHN TAYLOR GILMAN. State of New Hampshire, November 27th 1798.
ANSWER Of the House of Representatives—presented to the Governor yesterday.
MAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY, IT is with great satisfaction, that the House of Representatives contemplate the pleasing employment assigned them by their constituents, of correcting the errors (if any) in the existing laws, passing new acts, redressing public grievances, and adopting such other measures as are calculated to perpetuate the blessings of a free Government. And it is with additional pleasure, that we rely on your abilities, integrity and promptness, to aid and assist us in effecting these important objects.
Coming, as we do, from all parts of the State, and having the means of knowing the sentiments, it is with confidence we assure you, that but one opinion pervades the State respecting the measures of our Federal Government—that we are thoroughly persuaded the general Government has adopted, and steadily pursued, every pacific measure, consistent with the honor, dignity and security of an independent nation, to compromise existing differences with the French Republic; and it is matter of regret and indignation, that that Republic is yet opposed to the most equitable terms of reconciliation—that it still continues to insult our Government—to trample on our rights—to invade and destroy our commerce—and industriously propagate the false and dangerous idea, that the Government and people of United America are divided.—But be assured, Sir, that the people of this State, and of every other State, rely on the wisdom, integrity, vigilance and firmness of our National Government, to adopt every necessary measure to maintain and defend our dear-bought rights and privileges: And that we and our Constituents are ready to rally round the standard of our Government, and defend it at the expense of our blood and treasure, against the machinations and violence of a foreign power aspiring to universal domination.
We lament, that so many instances have occurred in this country, in which periodical publications have been the vehicles of slander and calumny against the guardians of its rights; and that any American should be so degenerate as to abuse and vilify an ADAMS, or a WASHINGTON.
A law for establishing a new proportion of public taxes—and the existing state of the Treasury—are objects worthy of our consideration.
The resolutions of the Legislature of Massachusetts and Connecticut, are of such an important nature, and come from sources so respectable, as to merit, and shall receive, our candid attention.
ANSWER, Of the Senate of New Hampshire, to the Governor's Speech. (Presented on Friday last.)
May it please your Excellency, THE Senate of the state of New Hampshire, with particular pleasure meet your Address at the opening of the present session of the Legislature.

continued deprecations on our commerce, the repeated insults to our general government in the rejection of our envoys, and the insidious measures pursued to divide and distract our councils, every tender feeling is extinguished...

RIGHTS OF MAN.
LIBERTY AND EQUALITY.
One and Indivisible.
On the 13th ult. three days after the trial of Matthew Lyon for Sedition, the office of Mr. John Cook, of Poulton, a respectable young lawyer, was broken open, and his papers destroyed or dispersed.
On the 6th instant some villains girdled a fine young fruit-bearing orchard, the property of Mr. Silas Hamilton of Fairhaven; they destroyed 120 apple trees. It may be recollected that this Mr. Hamilton is the person who Matthew Lyon prosecuted for defamation some time since.
MORE RIGHTS OF MAN.

To John Ward Fenno.
THERE appeared in your paper of Tuesday evening last what you term a list of United Irishmen. It is of little consequence to the public, whether I am or am not one of that body, but as falsehood, in whatever shape it appears, should be scouted, I do not chuse to be introduced before the public wantonly without resisting it.
S. PARKE.
City of Philadelphia, ss.
BEFORE me, John Jennings, one of the Aldermen of the said city, personally appeared Samuel Parke, tavern-keeper, in Zachary's Court, who being duly sworn, doth depose and say, That in the publication of the names of several, said to be United Irishmen, in Fenno's paper of the eighteenth instant, among which his name is inserted...
SAMUEL PARKE.
Sworn and subscribed before me, this 19th day of Decr. 1798.
JOHN JENNINGS, alderman. December 21.
To John Ward Fenno,
IN your paper of Tuesday last, you represented me as a member of that body called United Irishmen in America. The assertion is not true: I never was in their society, nor do I know a single individual who is a member.
I do not mention this out of disrespect to that body called United Irishmen, as I know nothing about them; but merely with a design to inform the public, that you with a malicious intent, had declared to the world a most notorious untruth.
You know that the President has it now in his power, to send out of the country any alien, whom he may consider as an enemy to the United States, and you endeavor by the most gross falsehoods and misrepresentations, to exhibit me as such a character.
I wonder why you are sorry that you can mention only twelve names (after inviting information so pressing) as with the same propriety with which you mentioned mine, you might have mentioned twelve thousand, or all the names with which you are acquainted.
You ask why should you mention the names of Samuel Wylie, John Black, &c. the answer can only be this, merely to expose yourself. There can be no good at all in telling lies.
With hearty wishes for your amendment, I am, &c.
JOHN BLACK. December 21.
[I hurl back in the teeth of these fellows every item of their abuse. I have called neither of them an United Irishman. If I had, nothing they can say or do, would alter my opinion, respecting them, their principles or their purposes.]
A CARD.
There can be but one reason for the opposition to the Bankrupt Law, which is, to make as many desperate men as possible, throughout the United States; who, seeing no end to their calamities, may effect a subversion of all order both civil and religious.

Extract of a letter from the Consul of the United States at Gibraltar, dated the 18th and 23d of Oct. 1798.
The American ship Roanoke, Ebenezer Paine, commander, from Norfolk in Virginia, with a valuable cargo of Cocoa, Indigo, &c. bound to Cadiz and a market, was brought in two days ago by a British privateer, on pretence of being Spanish property; and after going through the customary interrogations, has been cleared.
Since the vessel was freed, being of 333 tons burthen, I met Earl St. Vincent, when I took the opportunity to request the favor of leave for her going to Cadiz with her cargo, which he not only granted, but also a convoy, as she is not armed, with leave to bring out for the United States a cargo of the produce of Spain.
At foot you have the names of the six French prizes sent in by admiral Nelson, five of which are now ready to proceed to Lisbon, there to get some temporary repairs before they go for England; they are under jury masts, and in a shocking state. Adm. Nelson is blocking up Malta.

Majority for Dr. Logan 524
COMMUNICATION.
The object of Logan's mission was to counteract the measures of our government. Therefore Logan, and his employers, can be looked upon in no other light, than as traitors. It was not for the benefit of America that he was sent; but, to advise the French what plan to pursue, in order to accomplish their ruin.
Any compromise with the present rulers of France, cannot be contemplated without horror, much less, such an one as they would be willing to make.
"The world is burning, Frenchmen stand on high."
"And either they, or we, must lower lie."
I read them with pleasure at the time, and have thought on them with pleasure ever since. The sentiment should be impressed upon the mind of every American.
French tampering has been the means of enslaving almost half Europe. God grant that this Western world may not be a sacrifice to it. If we are, it will be with our eyes open.

A CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. JOHN A. SHAEFFER, of Philadelphia, who has for a few years past been in the Southern States, has had the effrontery to draw several Bills of Ex- change on Timothy Pickering, Esq. Secretary of State, and myself, and by that means has defrauded a number of persons of their money, deceiving them by an exhibition of letters and papers with the names of divers public characters and rep- utable merchants highly commendatory of said Shaeffer; to one of these papers I find my name subscribed, but I do not know the man; these are villainous imposters, and I have no further connection with them.
I have no respect to the printers of Newpapers in the United States to publish this for the benefit of their fellow-citizens. SAMUEL MEREDITH, Treasurer of the United States.  Trenton, New-Jersey, October 24, 1798.

THIS DAY PUBLISHED, By WILLIAM YOUNG, Corner of Chestnut and Second-street, JOAN OF ARC, As Epic Poem, By Robert Southey; with notes. "WE do not hesitate to declare our opinion that the poetical powers displayed in it are of a very superior kind—Conceptions more lofty and daring, sentiments more commanding, and lan- guage more energetic, will not easily be found;— nor does scarcely any part of it sink into languor, as the glow of feelings and genius animates the whole. The language is, for the most part, mo- delled on that of Milton; and not unfrequently, it has a strong relish of Shakespeare."  Monthly Review, vol. 19, p. 361.
A HISTORY, OR ANECDOTES OF THE REVOLUTION IN RUSSIA, IN THE YEAR 1762. Translated from the French of M. de Rulhiere; With an elegant Head of the late Empress. [The second edition, price 75 cents.] "The grounds of M. de Rulhiere's information seem in disputable, and his readers appear to have every reason to be satisfied with his discernment, in unfolding the motives and circumstances that concurred in bringing about this striking event." "We shall only add, that we have seldom met with more interesting original anecdotes, than those that are contained in the little work which we have now reviewed."
