NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Situation and Extent..—Length 180 miles, be-
tween z, 40. and 4. zo. East lOngitude. Breadth
6o miles, between 42. so. and 45. North latitude.
Boundaries—Bounded Northerly by the English
Province of Quebec Nort,h-EaSt by the Old Pro-7
vince of.arin ;. South-east by the Atlantic Ocean ;
South, by the State of Massachusets ; West and
North-West by the Western Bank of ConneAicut
River, which 'forms• the line of division between
New Hampshire and Vermont. The shape of New
Hampshire resembles an open fan, Conneeticutaiver
being the curve, the Southern line the shortest; and
the ,astern line the longest'side.
Civil Divisions.—New Hampshire is divided
into counties and. townships .L of the former are the
fivefollowing, viz.. .
Counties.-- Stafford, Hillsborough,
Cheshire, and Grafton.

Chief Itmv_7o.—Portsmouth and Exeter, Dover
and Durham, Amherst, Keen and Charlston, Ho-
yeti! and, Plymouth.

Chief Towns.—Tortsrfiouth is much tlie largest
town in this State ; it stands on'the South-east side
of Piscataqua river, about two miles from the sea,
and contains about 800 houses and 6000 inhabitants.
The.-town is handsomely built and pleasantly
tuated. Its public buildings are a court house, two
churches for.congregationalists ; one for Episcopa-
rians, and other houses for public worship.—lts
harbour is one .Of the finest on the Continent,
having . sufficient
.depth of water Tor vesselS of any
burthen. It is'defendedagainst storms by the ad-
jacent land,. in such a manner, as that ships may
securely ride there in any, season of the year. Be-
ides, the harbour is so well fortified by Nature, that,
very little art is necessary to render it impregnable.

•
Its vicinity to the sea"makes it very convenient for
naval trade; a light-house, with- a single lighty
stands at the entrance of the harbour.

Exeter is a pretty town, fifteen miles south-wes-
terly from Portsmouth, on the south side of Exeter-'
river.; It has a harbour of eight , and a half ftet
water, and was formerly famous 'for ship-building.
Dover Neck, Which makes a part of the town of
Duvet, is situated between two branches of Piscata-
qua-river, and is a fine dry and healty situation ; so
high' as to command the neighbouring shores, and
afford a very extensive rind delightful prospea.

. _
'There are many'
considerable and flourishing
towns on Connecticut River, in the 'Western parts
of this State.

, Riwrs.-7The Piscataqua has four branches, Ber-
wick, Cochechy, Exeter, and Durham, which are
all navigable for small vessels and boats, some fif-
teen and others twenty miles from the sea. These
rivers unite about eight miles from the mouth of
the harbour, and form one broad, deep, rapid stream,
navigable for ships of the largest burthen.
Face of the Coußhy.—The land next to the sea
is generally low, but as you advance into the coun-
try, the land rises into hills : some parts of the State
arc mountainous.

Climate.---The air in New Hampshire is serene
'arid beautiful. The weather is not so subjea to
change„ as in the More Soutffern climate. This
State, .embosoming a number of very high moun-
tains, and lying in the neighbourhood of others,
whose towering summits are covered with snow
and ice for three quarters of the year, is intensely
cold in the winter season.' The heat of summer is
great. but of short duration. The;cold braces the
constitution, and renders the labouring people
healthful and robust.-

Soil and Produaloits.=—On the sea-Coast, and
places inland, the soil is sandy, but good,
pasturage. The intervals at the foot of the moun-
tains are greatly enriched by the freshes, which
bring down the soil upon them, forming a fine
mould, and producing corn; grain, and herbage, in.
the most luxuriant plenty. The uncultivated lands
are covered with extensive forests of pine, fir, ce-
dar, oak, walnut, &c. - •

Manufadures.—As this State is the living maga-
zine of masts and naval timber, and affords every
other necessary for ship-building, that business may
here be carried on extensively ; during the war
a seventy-four gun ship was built at Portsmouth,
and several. men.of wa► have been beilt•there very
recently. •
Trade.—The principal trade of New Hampshire
was formerly to the West India Sugar Islands, to
which they exported all the various kinds of• lu-l-
ber, horses, cattle,-sheep, poultry, salted provisions,
pot and pearl-ashes, dried fish, &c. and received in
return rum, - sugar, molasses, cocoa, &c. Their
ships were usually sent to the West India Islands
fur freight to Europe, or to the Bay of Honduras for
logwood, and from thence to Europe,
,where' they
were sold. Thry also exported masts, yards,:and
spars for the Royal Navy of Great Britain.
Poptlafioft, Charatler, c.—The population of
this State is reckoned at about 150,000,
Islands.—The Isles of Shoals are the only.
islands in the sea belonging to New Hamphire.---
They are 'convenient' for the Cod Fishery, which
was formerly .carried on there to great advantage ;
but the people are now few and poor.
Indiarts.—There are now no Indians in the State.
The scattered remains of former Tribes retired to
Canada many years since.

The following instance of sagacity in one of the,
feline race, we are well assured, is a faa :—An old
-maiden Lady of fortune, 'Who died suddenly a few
weeks since, - made a favourite cat her chief compa-
nion: In her-usual sitting-room was a closet where
Puss's vieluals .were kept, and which also was a
private draWer,,,tbat' the cat had probably often seen
drawn out, durin4 lierineals; by her fond mistress.
After the old. Lady's death, ,the cat, finding.no vic-
tuals in the closet, Was observed repeatedly to
scratch very earnestly over the 'spot where lay -the
private drawer. ' This at length occited attention,
the place was searched, the drawer discovered, and
in it found, in bank-notes' and cash, upwards of
20001. • 'The old maid's heir, it is added, has- in .
consequence settled tol. per ann. on the animal, for
its comfortable support during life.

The following is a faa so well known, that none
can doubt--while there is life there is hope; and,
after the fingers are drawn in different directions,
Medicine has restored them. For the information
of our Readers, we insert the following Letter
From Mr..SAPcoAT, of Burton Lazars, in Leices-
tershire, to Dr. GARDNER, NO, 76, Long-acre,
London. .
SIR, i.

For many years my wife has been grievously af.;
flifted with the Rheumatism ; but for the last two
years quite helpless : she could not rise nor sit down
but by assistance. Kee fingers were drawn in so
many different direetions that it was with great dif-
ficulty we got her outward garment on. -Her pain
was great, „and the want of natural rest reduced her
to a tnere.skeleton. We, could not entertain the
leastihope of relief; till a friend of mine in.Bathsaw
Mr. Mills, who was cured of a seven years Gout
by Dr. GARDNER'S Pills and Plaster. I sent to
Stamford for a, one guinea box, Which greatly re-
lieved, and the second has, with the blessing of
God) removed the 'whole of the afßiaing pain and
contrathon. Her fingers are now straight, "and she
has the proper aeikon, of them, is also- enabled to
.walk and take extrcise, Scc. &c. .The, above is

known to Mr: No. 8, West-lane, Rotifer.
lithe, who will satisfy any 'enquirer.
Your's,

others have I trust that I may presu►ne. to ofkr A

T.FEEL it a Duty incumbent upon me, to iniorrn

but the Disease at length spreading all uee: my body,.. .1 was
obliged to apply to ,the most eminent of the Faculty, but
their assistance afforded only. temporary relief : f- wont
through various Courses of Salivation, and from being rather
of a corpulent habit, was reduced to a mere -skeleton. The
Ulcers that spread all over my .Lirnbs . readered me a com-
plete Object, so, that my Friends despared of my reco,ery.
When brought to this situation; I.:considered death as inevi-
table, :but a relation of mine wain:elating upon the many
Cases in which your Pills had. succeeded, I was'induced
try a Box of. them, which thoo4it rather relieved me,' and
by persevering for two or three months, and,following lota
direalons, I experienced the most unaccountable relaxation
from pain, -the sores gradually subsiding ;' I aln now, thank
