To the Honorable Senate end House of
Representatives. an General Court assembled.
NNHE Subscribers beg leave to
represent--that the road from Sunder-
land, on Connecticut river to Boston, is very
circuitous, and that the road from Barre to
Boston Is likewise very circuitous and billy,
and route nearly in direct line from said
Sunderland to Boston through Barre, Hub
bardston and Princeton has long been contem-
plated, by opening new road from the Meet
mg-House or Common in Barre, to Princeton,
distance of about eleven miles, which would
lessen the distance from Sunderland to Boston
about fifteen miles, and from Barre to Boston
about seven miles, and through country of
fewer hills and of much less magnitude. In
deed, County Road was few years since
laid out, but was refused by the Court of Ses-
sions to be accepted, on account of the great
expense which it would be to the towns through
which it was laid. We therefore pray the
Honorable Legislature to incorporate us to-
gether, with such others as may hereafter as
sociate with US, into a Society by the name of
the BARRE TURNPIKE CORPORATION, with
liberty to lay out a road, to commence at the
Common, near the Westinghouse ia Barre !;
thence eastefiy in the best route to Hubbards-
ton line; thence through the southerly part of
Hubbardston, in the best route to Princeton
line thence in the best course through part of
Princeton, and through the land of David
Rice; thence to and Through land Of Jason
woodward to a road, with liberty to erect one
gate on said road when made for the purpose
of taking toll with such other privileges as are
usually granted to Turnpike Corporations.

MR.. BURKE.

When the trial of Mr.. Hastings COM
menced in Westminster-Hall,,t the first
two days were taken up in reading the
articles Of impeachment against him
and four more were occupied by Mr..
Burke in opening the case, and stating
the grounds of the accusation. Never
were the powers of that great man dis
PLAYED to such advantage as on this oc--
casion. The contrast which he drew
between the ancient and the modern
state of Hindostan was sketched with
the hand of master, and wrought up
in manner that could not fail to fix the
attention, and to- command admiration !;
when at length he came to speak of Mr..
Hastings. no terms can describe the
more than mortal vehemence with which
he hurled his manifold accusations a.
gainst him. He seemed for the moment
as if armed to destroy with all the light
ming of all the passions. The whole
annals of judicial or2sory contain moth
ing finer than his conclusion.

he. lin the name of the Commons of
Great-Britain in Parliament assembled,

Commons of Great-Britain, whose ma

81 impeach him in the name of the

critics he has destroyed; whose country
he has laid waste and desolate.

situation, in the world"
The agitation produced by thisspeech
was such that the whole audience APP
peared to have felt one conyulsiye emo
ton; and when it was over, it was some
time before Mr. Fox could obtain hear

Amidst the assemblage Of concurring
praises which this speech excited, none
was more remarkable than the tribute
Of Mr.. Hastings himself. +" For half an

From an English papeEl
VentriloQltiSm.

On Wednesday night, Monsieur Alexandra,
whose fame had already reached this country
from the Continent, gave his first publick ex-
hibition at these rooms, as ventriloquist; and
we are happy to say that his success fully
confirmed the high reputation which he had
acquired abroad.
The performance commenced between
Mons. Alexandra, in the character Of wait
er, and an imaginary old and intirm bon rirant,
m which the former is compelled much against
his will to prepare an omelet. This entails
upon him the necessity of planning and saw
ing wood, striking light, and frying the eggs
over a candle these different sounds he imi-
tated in the happiest and most astonishing man
ner- After this, followed dialogue between
a chimney sweep and Mons. Alexandra. In
this the voice of the sweep, modulated in his
descent down the chimney, was so exactly
initiated, that slight suspicion of confederacy
pervaded the minds of several of the audience.
This doubt, however, so creditable to the rare
talents of the .Venfriloquist, was most happily
removed in the progress of the representation.
We have not leisure to follow him through the
various humorous dialogues which took place !;
We will, therefore, simply enumerate them.--
A conversation between Mons. Alexandra.
some one shut up in room, and a servant
in the CELLAR dialogue with man enclosed
in a trunk--a conversation between a game
keeper, countryman and his wife, illusuat-
ing the effects of an alarm in a house guard
ed by several dogs-the quarrel between these
last and some cats, followed by the cries of an
infant awakened by the uproar; and tie vain
attempts of the game-keeper's young wife to
pacify the child, were delineated with such
truth, that doubts might have again arisen. as
to the existence of confederacy, had not
the removal of the screen revealed to our
aStonished senses Mons. Alexandra sol,ss,

From The Rhode Island .4naeTican.
The celebrated Elegy in Churcl-ysrd, by
Gray, is well known and justly admired by
every one who has the least pretensions to
taste. But with all its polish and deep
poetick beauty and feeling, it always APP
peared to me to he defective, and / have
met with remark in Cecil's Remains to
the same effect. Amid a scene so well call
culated to awaken in pious mind refec-
tons on the sublime truths and inspiring
hopes of Christianity, Gray, with the ex-
ception OF two or three somewhat equivo-
cal expressions, says scarcely word
which might not have been said by one
who believed that {. death was an eternal
Sleep" and who was disposed to regard
the humble tenants of those tombs as in
deed teach in his narrow cell forerer laid"
With these views, have regretted that
sentiments similar to the following had not
sprung up in the heart. and received the
exquisite touches of the classick pen of
Gray. | do not offer them to supply the
deficiency. This would be as presumptu-
Gus and hopeless an attempt as that of the
English artists to repair the mutations
which time or accident had occasioned a.

MUS. They might, with great propriety,
have followed the stanza, beginning $ Far
from the madding crowds ignoble strife.n
NO airy dreams their simple fancies fr'd,
No thirst for wealth, nor painting after fame !;
But truth divine suolimer hopes inspir'd,
And lur'd them onward to a nobler aim.
From every cottage, with the day arose
The hallow'd voice of spirit-breathing pray

The sacred volume claim'd their hearts alone.
Which taught the way TO glory and to God.

The pure and gladdening waters day by day;
Lean'd, since our days are evil, fleet ard few,
To walk in wisdom's bright and peaceful

In yon lone pile, DER which hath sternly pass'd
The heavy hand of all-destroying' time,
Through whose low moulderng aisles now signs

And round whose affairs grass and ivy climb
They gladly throng'd, their grateful hymns to
raise,
Oft as the calm and holy Sabbath shone
The mingled tribute of their prayers and
praise
In sweet communion rose before the throne.
Here, from those honour'd lips which sacred

From heavens high chancery hath touch'd,
they hear
Truths which their zeal infame, their hopes

Give wings to faith, and check affections
