THE ADDRESS.

The following is an extract from the ad-
dress of the legislature of New Hampshire
to the President of the U. 81
The Proclamation and Orders of Great
Britain and the decree of France were sub
stantiai evidence that the rights of neutrals
were no longer to be respected; and the al
tentative was before us, either to submit to
the eXactions OF @. Britain, and thereby be
degraded almost to colonial subsection, or be-
come party in the war.
In this dilemma measure was proposed,
that It's consequences would require the ex-
ercise of much virtue, but which was the
only measure that could be adopted to save
our extensive commerce from the rap.c;o;:s
grasp of a piratical power, and our seamen
citizens from insults, slavery and death A
| measure well calculated to evince to the
| world a firm resolution to maintain our ma
tional independence and sovereignty. The
| EMBARGO ACTS, with the appreciation of a
large majority of the representatives of the
nation assembled in congress, have become
the laws of the land We sir also approve
! them, as the only means that could be de-
vised to preserve our peace and safety. We
viii suffer any privations rather than sub
MT to degradation, and viii CO ope ate with
the general government in all its measures.
| :; By the goodness of God our country is
| abundantly supplied with the comforts and
conveniences of life. Should we murmur,
and repine, whilst in possession OF blessings
and privileges, for which the inhabitants OF
other parts of the world sigh in vain; we
should prove ourselves an ungreatful, and
wicked people"
"Your presidential term will soon expire,
and you decline reelection to Office
The reasons you assign for your determine
lion, are Consistent with the pure principles
which have formed the rule of your conduct.
In retirement you will not be Indifferent to
the welfare of your country /; and YOUR
country viii remember with grateful feel
ings the patriot who devoted long life to
the cause of liberty. That your last days,
may be your best days ; and your last com
forts, your sweetest comforts and on YOUR
exit from this world, that yon NAV receive
the plaudit of COP, is sir, the wish, and
prayer ofthe people ofNEw-HAMPsHIRE.

gan, without any other interruption than that Of
the falls and rapids of Niagara. between lake e.
rie and lake Ontario. The descent from f;.rt
Schfossey t6 Devils hole &C Go;i ii,;;i,vs
which includes the perpendicular falls of Nigga
Ia, has by correct measurement, been ascertained
at SIS feet The whole fall from lake Erie to
lake Ontario, is estimated at 450 feet, MAKING the
elevation of lake Erie above tide water, six hun
bred and fifty feet.
Lake Superior, the largest Of those inland seas,
communicates with the northern eStre nifty of lake
Huron, by the river and rapids of ST. Mary's.-
The fall OF these is not ascertained but it is said
that small canal has been opened round the most
difficult part, by the north west fur company.
Five ofthe Atlantic rivers approaclthe waters of
the St Lawrence, viz. the Penobscot, Kenebeck,
Connecticut, the North or Hudson river and the
Iioga branch of the Susquehannah. This last
river will afford a useful communication with the
rivers Seneca and Genessee, which empty into
lake Ontario. The length of the portage has not
been precisely stated and the general navigation
OF the Susquehannah has already been noticsd
1t may however be observed, that it is the only
Atlantic river whose resources approach both the
western waters, and those of the St. Lawrence.
The three eastern rivers, afford convenient
communications with the province Of Lower Ca
NADIA, but not with that extensive inland navga-
ton, within two hundred miles of the MISSISSIPPI
,pi. No statement has been received of any i'm
provemcnt having yet been made on the Penob-
scot or Kcnnebeck laid a very imperfect account
has heen obtained OF some short canals opened a.
round the several falls of the river Connecticut.
One at Bellows Falls III the state of Vermont
has been particularly mentioned, and is the high
est improvement on the river.
What is called the North river, is narrow and
long bay, which in it's northwardly course from
the harbour Of New-York, breaks through, or
turns all the mountains, aording tide navigation
for vessels of so tons to Albany and Troy, 160
miles above New-York. This peculiarly distin-
cuisines the North river from all the other bays
and rivers in the United States. The tide in no
other ascends higher than the granite bridge, or
comes within so miles of the Blue Ridge, or cas-
tern chain OF mountains. In the North river, it
breaks through the Blue Ridge and West Point,
and ascends above the Eastern termination of the
Catskill, or great Western chain.
A few miles above Troy, and the head Of the
tide, the Hudson from the north, and the Mo-
hawk fromithc west, unite their waters & form the
North river. The Hudson in its course upwards
+: approaches the waters of lake Champlain, and
the Mohawk, those of lake Ontario.
