The New York Packet

The present session of the General Court of New-Hampshire, which began at Portsmouth on the 19th ult. was opened by a message from his Excellency the President of that State, in which he says, "I am happy to inform you, that the military force in this State is in a most promising situation; and through the exertions of the officers, and activity of the soldiers, cannot fail to become, in a short time, truly respectable. And it can be no less pleasing to have an opportunity of assuring you, that notwithstanding the machinations of a few interested, designing and unprincipled men, the people are generally determined to support and maintain the constitutional authority of the State against every attempt of seditious insurgents. I have also the satisfaction to acquaint you, that the individuals, in most parts of the State, are much engaged in fabricating those articles, which we have hitherto been furnished with from foreign countries, the purchase of which has constantly drained us of cash, and kept us in a state of poverty and dependence."
