CONCORD, (N. H.) June 17. The following answer of the senate to the governor's address, at the opening of the session, was presented the 11th, by the honorable Messrs. Payson, M c Clary, Gilman, and Betts:
May it please your excellency, At a period when our country laments the exclusion of many of her ancient and long approved benefactors from her councils and government, it is with peculiar pleasure we see your excellency yet enjoying the confidence of the citizens of this state, and to find you disposed to accept the important trust committed to you by their suffrages. Your excellency's former administration affords us a satisfying evidence, that your communications to us will be dictated by a wise and faithful regard to the public good, and that all our endeavors to promote the same important object, will meet your sanction and ready concurrence. By an assurance of our firm support in every measure which shall appear to be conducive to the interests of our constituents, permit us to invite your excellency to a reciprocal confidence. Although the particular interests of this state demand our primary attention, we sincerely participate in the repose granted our European brethren from the alarms and calamities of war; and notwithstanding the threatening aspect which the accumulated power of a particular nation, and the depression of others, may have upon the continuance of peace, we would fondly cherish the idea, that those temporary agitations will result in the advancement of genuine liberty, and the happiness of mankind.
A sense of the danger which have surrounded us amidst the conflicts of contending nations, is highly calculated to excite our grateful joy, and to appreciate, in our estimation, the wisdom and propriety of those measures which were the conspicuous means of preserving our country from many insidious attempts to involve us in the convulsions of Europe. It remains, however, matter of deep regret, that those attempts, although failing of their ultimate object, have prevailed to disseminate those principles of division which impair our strength, degrade our dignity, and even endanger our national existence: And were the means in our power by which we could extend the pacification of Europe to the breaks of America, most ardently should we embrace them as the surest means of our national prosperity and happiness.
Your excellency has perfectly expressed our sentiments respecting the importance of habits, opinions, morals and religion, in free governments; we firmly believe them to be the foundation on which republics rest, and in proportion as these are shaken, the whole superstructure will be convulsed; therefore, all attempts to misrepresent the measures of government, we consider as hostile to the safety, prosperity, and peace, of the community; and it is with no small degree of indignation we see "the liberty of the press," so grossly abused to promote the purpose of deception, and subvert the liberties, the morals, and happiness of our countrymen. Deeply impressed with these sentiments, we shall not be inattentive to the recommendation of your excellency, as legislators and magistrates, to do whatever may be in our power, both by precept and example, for the suppression of licentiousness and immorality, and for the promotion of useful knowledge, virtue and religion.
We shall carefully strive to render even more perfect those systems of government from which we have already derived such important blessings, by endeavoring to remedy those defects which attend the most accurate productions of human wisdom; but in this attempt we shall cautiously follow the safe instructions of experience, sensible that theoretical calculations serve merely to weaken that energy which is of peculiar importance, especially in a government extended like that of the United States, over so large a territory, and with a population so rapidly increasing.
The history of ruined republics affords a most valuable fund of instruction to those who have the wisdom to receive instruction, and to avoid the evils which were the conspicuous cause of their overthrow.
We have long beheld with approbation the decision and frankness with which your excellency has publicly advocated those political sentiments which it is our belief naturally result from an informed mind and an upright heart. Of the justness and importance of these sentiments, we have never doubted; but yet we can sincerely
join with your excellency, in declaring that this conviction has been confirmed and increased by "the recent transactions of our national government."
The subjects to which our attention has been directed, with every subsequent communication, will be duly and carefully noticed; and we hope to participate with your excellency, the pure and virtuous pleasure of those whose efforts are intentionally directed to the public happiness.—May the Almighty Power on whom all depend, ever guard your excellency by his providence, and by his wisdom guide you to still greater usefulness here, to the final rewards of those who faithfully serve him in their generation.
BOSTON, June 22. From Washington, June 15, 1802. "The expected settlement of the French legions on our own southern frontier, excites many disagreeable emotions here;—and I understand the ministry have received directions to put the presses under their influence in requisition to denounce this measure of Bonaparte; and to endeavor to exonerate the President from all acquiescence in it; and from all culpability on the subject. You may, therefore expect to see the tune of the ministerial papers changed?—and from sycophantic encomiasts become the most malignant revilers of French men and measures."
"It will be recollected, when Bonaparte was preparing to invade Egypt, as an encouragement to his "dogs of war," he promised them the grant of a quantity of land, equal, if I mistake not, to one hundred acres each—to be located (he did not say where) at the end of the war. It is pretty evident the grant cannot be made in Egypt; the First Consul will, therefore, I expect endeavor to fulfil his promise in Florida. This conjecture is strengthened by the circumstance of the troops ordered to embark under Bernadotte, being a part of the army of Egypt. If these adventurers cannot obtain good measures in Florida; they will not be very bashful in squinting on the territory of the United States. Their brother adventurers in the West Indies already denominate us Arabs; and they will treat us as such."
"The southern states are more peculiarly interested in this subject, than the Northern. The enterprising Gauls, with the possession of a country, rich to a proverb;—abounding in all the valuable productions of nature; situated in the vicinity of the West-India islands; and, commanding, as they will, the mouth of the Mississippi, will have it in their power abundantly to furnish those islands with the articles which now compose such valuable branches of our exports; and by interdicting the navigation of the Mississippi, by our countrymen, through their territory; will prohibit the settlers on our western waters from transporting their produce to market, unless under such duties as the French toll-gatherers shall please to demand. How the full-blooded buckskins of the Western Territory will stomach this state of things, is easy to imagine; and that it must produce an immediate war with France, need not the gift of prophecy to foretell. No wonder, then, the President, and his able ministers, are embarrassed.—They know they have not talents or energy sufficient to extricate the United States from the threatened situation; and they must resort to the expedient adopted during the revolutionary war; and resign the government to the Vice-President."
NEW-YORK, June 29. Captain Jones, of the schooner Dispatch, informs us, that on his arrival at Curacoa, which was on the 2d June, he found there the British ship De Ruyter, formerly belonging to the Prince of Orange; on the 4th he received a letter from a captain Noyes, who is detained on board her, requesting his interference in his behalf; he applied accordingly, and received for answer, that he should be discharged if captain Jones would procure a substitute. Captain J. then applied to the American Consul; and addressed a letter on the subject to the captain of the De Ruyter, who promised to take his request into consideration. When captain Jones made sail on the 12th, he was fired at by the De Ruyter, and ordered again in port, because he had not come on board with his papers previous to his departure.
Captain Waterman, who arrived yesterday morning in 10 days from St. Thomas, informs that Mr. Caldwell, late American Consul at St. Domingo, arrived there
some dayes previous to his sailing, in the schooner Perfeyverance Capt. Waterman has brought dispatches from him for our government. We also learn by capt. Waterman, that a short time before he failed, a brig, belonging to this port owned by Mr. Butler, (supposed to be the Neptune) put into St. Thomas in distress, from Antigua—the captain, mate, second mate, and one seaman, having fallen victims to a fever which prevailed on board, after they left Antigua. A captain Fowler had taken charge of the brig, and was shortly to sail for home.
Arrived, brig Jane Maria, Waterman, St. Thomas; Schooner Cornelia, Geer, Baltimore; Dispatch, Jones, Curacoa; Cleared, Ship American Packet, Oicott, Trinidad and Cuba; brig Wemyss, Bisset, Hull; schooner Goliath, Pinkham, Curacoa; sloop Eliza, Bayn, West Indies.
Brig Dorsey, arrived at Port Republican in 23 days; ship Simeramis, Smith, of this port for Canton, arrived at Manila early in December and was there on the 1st February, bound to Canton and New-York.
Arrived since our last, Brig Jane Maria, Waterman, 10 days from St. Thomas. Left a schooner of this port, and a number of Americans, names not recollected. The Jane Maria has performed her voyage from this port and back, in 39 days.
PHILADELPHIA, June 30. The internal duties on stills and domestic distilled spirits, on refined sugars, licences to retailers, sales at auction, carriages for the conveyance of persons, and stamp vellum, parchment and paper—pursuant to a law passed last session of Congress, will cease to be collected after this day. Neither the government nor the citizen can immediately feel the effect of this measure supposed by some to have been for the public good, by others for the thirst of ill gained popularity. TIME, that great disclosure of motives and events, must give the answer—must convince the American people of its utility; or on the necessity of their revival, call forth the most bitter execrations on the head of their deceivers. It is much easier for the government to lay an additional duty on articles already taxed, than to resort to new sources of revenue. The recent insurrections will evince the truth of this axiom; and should the present, or some future administration need additional supplies, rather than resort to so just (tho' unpopular) an expedient, as the revival of the internal taxes, the Merchant and the Mechanic would be made the additional as they now are the principal supporters of the government.
To morrow will expire also, the Act for the more convenient organization of the Courts of the United States; and with it, all that is dear to an American Citizen—A FREE AND INDEPENDENT JUDICIARY. That judge, who was formerly considered the protector of the government and the citizen, must hence forward feel himself insecure in his seat—unprotected in his right—through fear of the power assumed by the former under the specious pretext of obeying the will of the latter. By popular phrensy and misguided zeal, nations have been brought to ruin:—The fate that awaits us remains yet to be recorded.
Arrived! Brig Agnes, Weeks, Boston, Sch r H r H r ony, Duckendorff, St. Andrews. Arrived at the Lazzaretto.
Brig Union, Wedges, West Indies. Cleared, Ships Cornelia, Bliss, Bristol; Fair American, Simonton, Portugal; brig Typhania, Patter, St. Andre; sch r Liberty, N ew el, Cape Francois.
Capt. Sherer of the brig Express, failed from St. Croix the 14th of June, left there the following vessels:
Ship Eugenia, Fitch, Philadelphia; brig Horatio, Beard, New-York; sch r s Mehitable, Smith, New-London; Fanny, Richards, New-York; Sally, Allen, Rhode-Island; Hannah, M c R. or I. Savannah; Martha Washington, Buskirk, New-York; Fair Play, Anthony, Wilmington, N. C.—, Rider, Boston.
Letters by capt. Logan, from the Rio de Plata, represent the situation of American citizens, and property there, in terms the most distressing and humiliating. The following remonstrance drawn up and signed by the Americans there, and presented to the governor, will enable our readers to anticipate the species of oppression and injustice which is experienced in that quarter:
May it please your Excellency.
WE the undersigned Citizens of the United States of America, and now within the jurisdiction of your Excellency, having waited in vain with silent but anxious expectation for the determination of your excellency, on those cases which many of your Memorialists have long had pending in this colony, and now viewing with astonishment, grief and indignation the abuse and injury they have unmeritoriously suffered, do, as the free citizens of the same independent country, feel compelled, with one voice respectfully to represent:
That vessels, the property of Citizens of the United States of America, of immense value, are now unrighteously, and forcibly detained in these ports, where they are rotting and apparently forgotten; which vessels came here, either for the fulfilment of fair and lawful contracts, entered into with Spanish Subjects, or to seek, under the sanction of treaties, that hospitality which they had a right to expect from a friendly nation, or which were accidentally met with, and lawlessly seized upon and conducted hither by cruisers in the service of the Spanish Government.
That the Merchandize brought hither in vessels of this last description is in like manner torn from its rightful owners by the strong hand of this government.
That many of our countrymen, both Captains, Officers, and Seamen, have been rigorously confined in common prisons, and some have occupied the same horrid apartments with the vilest Malefactors, and the mangled limbs of executed Assassins, and this without the consciousness, or even the accusation of a crime!!!
That many of us are forced to remain here in exile from our friends, our families and our country, and to waste the best of our lives, not only without being serviceable to ourselves or others, but to our own certain ruin, to the great loss of those who have employed us, and to the inevitable distress of those who are dependent on us for subsistence.
That many of us came here at a time when Spain was at war with a powerful nation, and we came to carry to market, on account of his Catholic Majesty's subjects, the perishing produce of this colony, which could not be transported with safety under the Spanish flag, some of us even brought with us property, belonging to these subjects, rescued from imminent danger in an Enemy's port.
That an evident distinction has been made between us and the citizens or subjects of other nations, that we have felt ourselves the objects of undeserved contempt, and have had the mortification to hear our government calumniated.
These are the grievances of which we complain to your Excellency, and for which we respectfully demand immediate and complete redress, in that way which to your Excellency may seem most just and proper, and at the same time assuring your Excellency of our highest respect for your Excellency's character, and exalted station.

INTERESTING ACCOUNTS.
Capt. Blackler, who arrived here yesterday from St. Bartholomews, has favored us with several letters received by persons in that place from their friends in Guadalupe; from which we have taken the following particulars of some of the bloody scenes which have lately been transacted there.
Extracts from a letter from Basseterre, dated May 29, 1802.
"I will give you some account of our unhappy situation. On the 25th, at Point a Petre there was a very severe and decisive battle. The negroes to the number of 4000 were on the point of entering the city, and they would have succeeded had not a division which the General sent for our protection, arrived in season: but our troops attacked them on La Morne Bruifsa where they were entrenched—500 remained on the field besides 300 prisoners who were taken. Ignace was killed and his head carried through the streets at the end of a pike. Palmer who was one of their chiefs blew his brains out, and the remainder of the army was routed. Notwithstanding, these rascals again assembled and plundered and set fire to every thing in their way. The commune of Port Li-bre has not yet been burnt, but they are under great apprehensions there, and have sent hither to request of the General in chief, a frigate and some troops. The request was immediately complied with and the frigate is under weigh. I cannot give you any news of the commune of L'Anse Bertrand .
At Basseterre, after the evacuation of the fort on the 22d (at 10 o'clock at night) the rebels encamped on the heights of Palmiste, in order to gain Matouba, where they had established several posts, with some field pieces. The general not being able to bring them to their duty by persuasion, gave orders for attack, which was begun on the 23d at 7 o'clock, P. M. in three columns. They had cut away the Bridge of Matouba, which made it impossible to come to them on that side. One of our columns attacked them in the rear above La Salle, the two others upon another quarter. When they perceived our object they repaired to their post at Eglemont which was their head quarters and magazine. Our troops perceived them and were preparing to attack them with the bayonet, when they saw Delgres , who commanded them in person, set fire to the powder magazine, who immediately blew up and they all perished. About 25 of our brave grenadiers (two of them officers) who had entered the entrenchment were killed in the explosion. The rest of their army who were posted in a different place were put to flight. Every day more or less come in to surrender and probably they will not again rally in this canton, but almost all the inhabitants are burnt out. Here in the city we are safe, but constantly in arms. It is 19 days since I have quitted guard except to eat a piece of pork, our only food; and we shall not probably be relieved for some days. We have just heard that General Boudat has arrived at the Point with 300 Grenadiers, from St. Domingo: they report that order is established there."
Basseterre, May 31.
"Since my last, things have taken a favorable turn here. Delgres with three hundred of his adherents have blown themselves up in their magazine at Matouba: amongst them were several white people, prisoners. At Matouba a great many have been murdered; amongst them, fold Lafond and his son, Rosseau , &c. Ignace , after attacking the Point, and failing in his attempt, blew out his brains. Kirwen did the same at Matouba. At present, of the leaders, there is Maffoto , and a Negro, the former commandant of the Point; but they are without means of resistance. One of the ring-leaders was hung yesterday on the Course; he was the negro that disarmed the national guard: he died firmly, and told the General he expected no mercy, and all he was sorry for was, that he had not murdered more of the whites when it was in his power. —The taking of Matouba was very severe; the action commenced at four o'clock in the morning, and they were surrounded at three o'clock in the afternoon, when they blew themselves up.—
It cost the whites 500 men killed and wounded. At Point Petre, two days past, they shot 150 negroes, taken under arms. Here, the Court Martial has condemned only one as yet, owing to the hurry of business, and perhaps for other reasons, as the General has issued a proclamation forbidding any whites of the Colony denouncing any black or coloured people; no doubt he has political reasons for it.— After summing up the foregoing representation, you will see it is my opinion that you may return in safety; but you may also expect, from the situation of the colony and the many negroes yet in the woods, that the service of the national guards, will be very severe and constant. It is supposed Rego , John Levey , the former captain of the Port, and Morero , Delgres' aid, will be hung to-morrow."
Extracts on the Business of THE DAIRY, FROM ANDERSON'S WRITINGS.
"WHEN the cream is obtained, it ought immediately to be put into a vessel by itself, there to be kept till a proper quantity be collected for being made into butter—and no vessel can be better adapted to that purpose than a firm neat made wooden barrel, in size proportioned to the dairy, open at one end, with a lid exactly fitted to close it. In the under part of this vessel, close to the bottom, should be placed a cock and spigot, for drawing off any thin serous part of the milk that may chance to be there generated; for if this is allowed to remain, it injures the cream, and greatly diminishes the richness of the quality of the butter; the inside of the opening should be covered with a bit of gauze netting, to keep back the cream while the scum is allowed to pass, and the barrel should be inclined a little forward, to allow the whole to run off.
"The separation of butter from cream only takes place after the cream has attained a certain degree of acidity. The judicious farmer will therefore allow his cream to remain in the vessel until it has acquired that proper degree of acidity that fits it for being made into butter with great ease, by a very moderate degree of agitation, and by which process only, very fine butter ever can be obtained.— How long cream may be thus kept in our climate, without rendering the butter made from it of a bad quality, I cannot say; but it may be kept good for a much longer time than is generally suspected, even a great many weeks.
