Laine finds as much difficulty in dismissing e-Prefects as he did dissolving the Chamber. ja true that an Ordonnance of yesterday exhibits the missal of three of those obnoxious that number is very insufficient for the grand pose in view namely, the securing of good existence of a twofold power in the Govwnmer.t' of this country, was never more manifest than at ife moment. The Committee of the majority of the late Chamber, which may be called the Ministry of tlie Princes, hold regular Councils and their Ordinances, which are not less obeyed than those of die-King. They have a correspondent agent in the de-partments, for every ostensible agent of Government, Thus Government having appointed Presidents of the Electoral Colleges, they have appointed agents of correspondent influence, who are daily setting out for their respeflive destinations. M.

de Pannat, confidential Secretary of the Due d' Angouleme, has just set out for Toulouse in this capacity. This Committee have drawn up a Protest against the Ordonnance for dissolving the Chamber, which they circulate profusely in the departments. Therein are recalled to the friends of royalty All the great measures passed during the last Session in favour of' that cause therein is exhibited a deyolope-ment of their future views, which is little else than the echo of their declaration of principles of last year.

which are embodied some solitary- lessons to though ptthsps not purer, Governments. Its recommendations to economy are not theoretic or ostentatious, but practical and sincere it is not filled wit.li "bloated promises and lank pet form-ance-i," but, contrary to the general usage of the Executive branches of Governments, begins with recommending a diminution of the Governor's own salary in first instance, thereby removing every excuse for tlie 'continuance of large salaries to The ideas of the Governor of New Hampshire on religious berty are -in my opinion, peculiarly calculated to meet theppftfetion of every libera! mind. On the who I trust you will not think it-unworthy of a place in the columns. of that Journal, which, under your direction, been ever peculiarly devoted to the promulgation of every thing conducive to civil or religious, liberty, i I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, Dodlors' Gammons.

The powers thu Of tvo ottier courrs wine the prudential concern or an uic deles. ted, appear better suited to the nature of a a reo, hlican covernment. Under these circa tanceS I deem it my outy to recomnienu r-- passed orr this subject on the 24th of June an I the Jill or November ii3.

To repeal tbe laws not be 1. nova ins hut restoring a of administenrw justice hat rt. Tta- ivutf bm it niv dutv to recommend to you u.c su stance, been 'coe'vil with the early settlement oF the courttry. ren coeval with tne alba fag is iniilimabkpriiukge, and 'V are binind, not simply to decide the faSt, but the As the trial btf jury is an irttJsltma tewarisim; in the. case; it merits inquiry whether ju 1pe not too often net aside ot juries, people- of a portion of the benefits tint would otherwise nave resulted from that invaluable institution.

Many of our judicial precedents are drawn from Britain, whose laws are variant from the spirit of our institutions. Iter government is monarchic, and entrusts the rights of the to the direction ot the few i but ours is republican, and the rights of Its citizens are committed as the protection ot the many. There a single verdict, if received by the court, decides the cause; hut Here, in one cause, there may he 'a verdict at the Common. Pleas, a se. mid the superior court on the appeal, a third 011 review, and, if the judges think necessary, a iourth on anew trial.

A law explicitly defining the only causes for which judges should set aside verdicts would he an improvement in our system of jurisprudence. And considering thenumher pi trials to which suitors are bylaw entitled, it appears to me, that if judges'were prohibited from r-jecting the verdidls ot juries in ail cases, except those in which thecourt.may beof the opinion that some of the jurors bave.received bribes, or been jjuilty of corruption, it would he -safer for the community than the present practice. Our DHlvtc omce were mane, not 101 toe -v zens are agriculturists and mechanics, and live on tne prouue. of manual' labour; and from this class of people is collected the. principal portion of taxes paid into the public treasury.

Under such a government, and from such a-people, justice and sound policy equally require that the 'salaries of their public officers should be moderate, not exceeding an adequate compensation for th- aftual services they perforin. We have few, it rayol-fices, that require the' officer to devote ali-hu time to the dis-charge of its duties. The salary, granted to the. Governor for several years past is pearly double to what it was formerly. Those to the Justices of thCstiperior Court, in the year 1792, were to the Unef Jus-tice doo dollars, and each of -the associate Justices 466 dollars 67 cents per annum but now they are ijoa to the one, and loo to each of the others.

Whenever the salaries 111 a Kepublie are raised so high, as' to excite a spirit of and men to seek office from sordid motives, it has a direct tendency to extinguish public spirit, and to destroy the laudable ambition of? holding office for the nobis- purpose' of promoting the public good. It tends to multiply the nuniber of office-seekers, increase intrigue-an-i corruption, produce extravagance and luxury in the officers; and their influence insensibly leads others tg imitate their pernicious example, till it destroys the simplicity and changes the manners and habits of the people. This is an evil nrmnant with dancer to a free government. It was the obser vation of a man not less eminent for his talents as r-statesman- than his knowledge as a historian, tiat high salaries are amence of the decline of republicanism in a Suite. Indeed, no government can long subsist but' upon its original foundations, and by a frequent recurrence to the principles on which it was first instituted.

I therefore recommend your consideration, the propriety of reducing the salaries of the governor, the justices of the supreme court, and the treasurer. The rights of conscience and of private judgment in religious matters are not only secured by our constitution, to. all men, but are in their nature unalienable. Civil and religious liberty have usually flourished and expired together. To preserve their purity requites the constant unremitted vigilance of the people and their legislators.

If any religious associations request icts-of incorporation, to enable them more fully and securely -enjoy thPir religious privileges, it appears to be our duty to giant them. The correBncss of their trmts is a subject that lies between God and their own consciences, and is one that no human tribunal has uriy right ti decide While, therefore, it becomes ''very man scrupulously io examine tlie foundations a his own belief tie cawiol guard with too much jealousy against the encroachments of the civil power on Ins religious liberties. There is no system of government where the general, tlittusion of knowledge isio necessary as in a republic. Jt not less the duty than the interest ot the State to patronize and support the cause of literature and the sciences. So sensible were our ancestors of this, that they early made provision for; tu-hnnU -jcadHmies.

and a cblleffe. the stood effedtsof whlch we daily experience. 13ut all literary ostahlishmen.s, like every thing human, It not uuly attenaea to, are suiyew. ucy, mit me, therefore, to Invite your consideration to-'the-state and condition of Dartmouth college, the'head bf our learned institutions. As the State has contributed liberally to the establishment of its funds, and as our constituents Jiave a 'deep interest in its' prosperity, it has a strong claim to our attention.

The charter of that college was granted December 30th, 1769, by. John. VVentwpfth, who was then governor of New-Hanipshir under the authority of the British As if emanated from royalty, it.contained, as was natural it should, principles congenial to monarchy. Among others, it established trustees, made seven a quorum, and authorized a majority of those present to remove any of jtsmembers'which they might consi'der iinfit or incapable, an i the survivors ti perpetuate the board by th'emselv eWKngof Aers to supply vacancies- This last principle is ho.ti!e to spirit md genius of a free government. Sound policy, therefore, requires that 'the mode oFelection: should be and that trustees'in future shoiilt-l be elected by some other body of nen.

To increase the number of trustees would not only increase the security of the college, but be a mean of interesting more men iivits prosperity. If it.shoiild be made in future the duty of the president, annually, in May, to. report to the governor a full and particular account of the state.of the funds, their receipt's and the' ntifiiber of students aiit! their, progress, an-J generally the state and cojivlitiou of the college, and the governor to communicate tlii.s siaie'menf to the -legislature in. their June.s'ession this wdulil form a check upon the proceed-ivigs of the trustees, excite' a spirit of attention in theorScers, and students of the college, and give to the legislature such information as would enable them to whh greater propriety upon whatever mav relate to that institution. The 'college was formed for die-public for the beite--.

tit or emolument ot tne trustees nnu roe rigm. iu amuim improve'acts of incorporation of this natu re, has been exercised by all governments, both monarchal arid republican. Sir i'ho-nus Gresham established 'a fund, to suppott lecturers iri tfre-sham college in London, upon the express condition that the lecturers should be unmarried men, and iipoti -their being mar-rind their interest in the ftihd should absolutely cease; but the British parliament; in' the year 1768; passed a law 'the' college to another place, and explicitly enacted that if the lecturers were marry, they should receive' their fees and stipend out of the fund, any restriction or limitation in. the will of the-said' Gresaanvto the contrary notwithstanding. In this country anumber '6f the States have laws that, made material changes in the'eharters of their And in this Sfatft 'acls of incorooratibil of a similar nature have' frequently been amended and changed by the legislature.

By tne several acts, tncurpora ting towns, cneir unuu-weicnuuinu. ed; but whenever the legislature judged that the public good required a town to be made info two, they have made' the division, and, in some instances, against the remonstrance of a. majority of its inhabitants. Inthe charter of Dartmouth college it is expressly provided, that the professors, tutors, and other officers shall take the oath of allegiance the British king; but if the laws of the United States, as well as those of New Hampshire, abolished by implication that part of the charter, much more might they have-done it directly and by express words. These facts 'show the authority of.

the 'legislature to interfere upon this subject; and I rru-tyou will make such further provisions as will render this Important institution more useful to. mankind. The constitution imperiously requires that'" the journals of the proceedings, and all public acts of both' Houses of the f.e-irislariire. he nrinte.1 and Duhlished immediately after every adjournment or prorogation." Instances tiave' too often oc- curred, in which'not only the. journals, but laws, which the: people are bound to obey, have not been printed" or published till after the lapse or several montns innn me ctujtiuumieiu; but 1 presume you will take the necessary measures to prevent a recurrence of this evil, As it will be necessary, the next year, to psss a new propsr-tion aft, for the assessment of public taxes, it is incumbent on the present legislature to adont -preparatory measures to effect it.

From the Report of tne treasures, you will ascertain state oF the Treasury, and decide whether is: necessary. Our business, as legislators, is. to redress the grievances, and make laws secure- the rights of the people. to this work We bring a right temper -mind, we shall find the path si' duty clear and plain'. We.are the represehtatives.of an important, member of the only great that now exists.

The principles of policy should therefore be just, and liberal, and our views extended beyond the interest and feelings of the present moment. As we are legislating for future times, we cannot too often reflect what judgment posterity will pass on our public character, when the spirit, of party shall sub-. side, and tite passions and petty interests of the present times are forgotten. A great man or our imuuu.uui ies uimiguiMi however exalted, tities, however emoluments, however great, can conter no honour on the officer, unless he faithfully discharges the duty of his trust; and tiliat a faithless man raised io office is but the herald pf his, own disgrace, and the scourge of those who clothed him; with power. If the people have placed lis in authority, to promote-their interest, riot our own, that we are bound to act.

I will only add, I shall cheerfully concur in such measures as you may adopt for the good of our country. WILLIAM HAJMEtt. State of New Hampshire, June I hat the whole numoer or ran wmtu leg-illv returned is EstinateiJ as scattering Necessary to a choice His excellency William Plumer had Honourable Jamo'i SheaFe had a lh (liiiv elected. 38-J07 75 10,204 17.994 twelve o'clock bis excellency the Governor met the two branches of the Legislature in the representatives chamber; and after being constitutionally qualified made the following COMMUNICATION; T-l'm citizen of the Sen; and House of Representatives, in mei'iinr We legislature at this time, I cannot omit congra- tutatintr you on the prosperous condition of our common country When on a former occasion, I had the honour of the two houses, the United States were involved an arduous with a nation, that of all others, had the means of infiitfi.njon us greatest injury. But the brilliant, achieve-inputs ofour fellow citizens, both by sea and land, have nobly sustained and increased our former reputation for enterpr'ze and valour and by the signal proofs which we gave, of a firm and resolute determination to defend, at all hazards, our vtola-lated riKhts, we have, with the blessing of Heaven, raised our public character in the estimation of other nations, mid obtained in honourable peace.

The war with Algiers, which has terminated since the last Session, has emblazoned with additional jrlory the arms of the United States. The disgraceful tribute which the pirates of Africa have exacted from all civilized nations trading in the Mediterranean has been successfully resisted by the United States; and the people of this country, long distinguished for their peaceful have set an example in war, which the nations of Europe cannot fail to admire, an I which I hope they wilt eventually imitate. But though our disposition, habits, and interest render us pacific, yet the amiable spirit of peace, accompanied by a course of impartial justice, is not of itself sufficient to insure a oeriiiatient state of public tranquillity, against the encroachments and rapacity of other nations It is therefore our duty in time of peace to make the necessary preparations for war. Those nniu a natural tendency to prolans: the bless ings af peace, but enable a nation, when the calamities of war can no longer be avoided, to vindicate its rights, and avenge its wrongs with great advantage. Though the constitution of the United States has given to the general government the principal authority of making theseyreparatimis, yet we also have a duty to we are bound to improve the state and condition of the militia which our constitution considers, when weil regulated," as our most proper, natural, and sure meins of defence." To renderthe rmliiia efficient, it is al soluttly necessary that they should be well armed and well disciplined; without these, the efforts of the bravest men will prove unavailing.

In our late war the deficiency ot am-s was severely felt; and sound policy requires we ihiMi make such provision as will. in futur prevent a xecur-renceoi this evil. In one respeit there is a difference, which ought not to exist, letween our laws and those of the United States. According to the former, the trainband is to be composed of men t-etween the ages of sixteen and forty but by the latter, of those between the ages of eighteen and forty-five. As the constitution of the United States gives to Congress the authority of organizing the militia, our laws sn this subject ought to conform to that of the United States.

From the nature and 11 miiitarv-establislinients, courts martial have lieen fouud necessary; our law requires that when a'court of this kind is appointed tiy a general ot uie iowmi gnue, it su.m consist of thirteen members which is attended with considerable expense to the State, and is a burthen to many officers To rented' this inconvenience, would not the rights ofour citizens be equally as secure, if the numbers necessary to compose a court martial were considerably reduced? I recommend to vour consideration the law of Congress of the Mthof April re-ipeeling the number and rank of field officers in the militia. The progress that we have ma.de in useful nuuufditures within the last four years has been great, and afforded much aid to our country in the time of her greatest need. Of these establishments there area considerable number this State and no cla'sof citizens have, perhaps, suffered, so much' by the return of peace as those engaged in manufactures. 1 hough It .1,,, ueneral uovernment to aid them, A thmmh ihev have evinced their disposition to afford, relief tiy protesting dotics, anJ by repealing their laws imposing taxes on them, yet considering that these, istabhshmcnts render lis less dependent on other nations, an 1 that our constitution has made it our duty to encourage them. I recomrneod to your consideration the propriety of exempting the property vested in these establishments from taxes under the laws ot this State, for a' certain number of years, The people ot this State are biennially required to elect six jneii to represent them in the Congress of the United States We have made these elections by a general ticket but i think if the State were dWi-lcd, according, to its population, into sis districts, as nearly equal and compact as can be formed without dividing towns.it would be a real Ihe electors would then have amore full and thorough knowledge the mialifieations of the men for whom they vote; and the hical interests, feelings, sentiments of the people of.

portion of the State would be more truly represented in the national legislature This principle has been adopted by our. constituents in the election ot State senators. The constitution, when first established, divided the State into only five diitridts for the choice of twelve Senators but when it was revised, the Venule ordered it to be divided into twelve districts, each district to eletf: one senator. It appears a majority ot the States now ele-it their representatives to Congress by districts. Should you adopt this mode of election, I think it would be advisable to have each district vote fnrits representative at the same time and on the same ballots en they vote for State officers.

That mode would not only be the most convenient to the people, but the public mind would be more fully expressed, for no meeting pf the primery assemblies are so generally attended as those in JVhrch. Within thirty-four days prereding the first Wednesday of December next, eight persons are to he appointed in this State, as electors of a President and Vice-President of the United States, Tltotigh the constitution of the United States gives to the legislature of each the authority to decide the manner in which the electors shall he appointed, and, under that, authority, some legislatures have themselves appointed the electors, yet I think the manlier generally adopted, that of electing them by the most congenial with the spirit of our republican institutions and that the modethat appears most equal and proper, is that of dividing the State into eight districts, upon the same principle as recommended for representatives to Congress, the people of each district choosing one elector. As the time oF one our senators in the senate of the United States will expire on the bird -day of March' next, 1 presume you will, according to the usual practice, make a new election at the present session. Congress, at their last session, ordered a direct lax to be assessed the present year upon the people of each State, equal to half the amount of the last assessment; which is probably the last tax of the kind that will be I. vied for many years.

By information which I have recently received from the Secretary of the Treasury of the States, it appears, that it i6 now too ii'te for the legislature to assume that tax, so as to entitle the State to any deduction. By our constitution, all the judges of our courts of law are to hold their offices during good behaviour, until they arrive ro. the age of seventy, an cannot legally be deprived of their seats by the other branches of the Government, except on mentby the House of Representatives fur crimes and. misdemeanors, and conviction thereof by the Senate, or by the. tj'o-wernor and Council on the Address of both Houses of the Legislature.

The ot the people, in tin-sc -provisions, was to render the tenure of juiii.iul officers as permanent and as independent of the legislative and executive authority, as the; nature of a free government would permit, that the Citizens might securely enj-y as impartial an int rpretution of the laws, and as pure an administration of justice as the lot of humanity would Notwithstanding these fundamental and salutary principles, the Icgi-lautra in iSij, in etteiSt, removed all the justices of the superior court ot judicature and Courts of Common Pleas fromtiSiice, ai'id that not on impeachment or address, hut by a law. liy that law they created a supreme court, and entrusted a single member oi' with liie power janfertorja'te brother by a Revolutionary Faction, whose political dodrine is falsely represented to him as the will of the nation. Sinister events are predicted as the consequence of yielding again to councils to which 25 years of calamity are attributed and the faithfa! to genuine monarchy are invited to unite their endeavours in order to deliver the King from out of the hands of his pernicious advisers, as in the early times of the Revolution, he united his to those of the friends of the State, to deliver his brother from the then prevailing faction. Since the dissolution of the Chamber, much insubordination has shewn itself among the Vendean corps, and frequent desertions have taken, place. These Vendeans retire into their native province, where, strengthened by their numerous ad hersnts their force and induence may become nice active.

The Medusa frigate, of the fate of whose crew account was lately given in the Journal des- Debnls, was commanded by an Emigrant Oifi-eiv who. had seen any service, for. five and twenty years Ujon the Second in Command remonstrating with Is-im on the danger to which he was exposing the. vessel, by the diieclion he was giving it, this old, yet inexperienced Commander, offended with' the advice put rie-Officer tinder arrest. Hardly had he taken this step, wlWn the frigate struck.

You will observe that the surgeon who furnished the account pf the event given in the Journal d-es Debats. and whose conduct in so doinrr was severely, censured in the 'Momteur, lias been made-. to disavctw his intetestinfr, and but too-accurate narra tive. This latter-circumstance, in which the hand power is so visible lias filled ihe public mind with in dignation. 16.

It appears that forty-two 'Members accustomed io vote Wltn tne majority or me iaie naiiiuer 01 are ineligible, on account of not having attained their year. Some Ultras were, speaking so -loud and Siespe.c7-fully of the Ordonnance in the Chapel of his Majesty, that an. ancient Receiver-General exclaimed, "Ah!
