MESSAGE FROM GOVERNOR WENTWORTH TO THE ASSEMBLY OF NEW-HAMPSHIRE.

Mr˙ Speaker, and Gentlemen of the Assembly:

As I look upon the measures entered upon by the House of Assembly to be inconsistent with his Majesty' s service, and the good of this Government, it is my duty, as far as in me lies, to prevent any detriment that might arise from such proceedings. I do, therefore, hereby dissolve the General Assembly of this Province, and it is dissolved accordingly.

J˙ WENTWORTH.
