J. Clark, for the committee to procure the attendance of the three elect, reported that two were prescent. While Mr. Clark was making his report the other Senator arrived. The Secretary speke in reference to proclamation to be made.

The present custom hus eome to us from our ancestors. T'he Town Meetings were held in the kitchen of the Tavern. A nomination wus made, and the votes were collected in the har, When was chosen Governor, proclamntion was made to the crowd that A might appear from the crowd and nceept the office. Then gsometimes the candidate would not accept, and a new choice was to be made, The of the old rule has failed, and the Proclamation is now a part of the pageantry of the election, nud nothing more. Proclamation was then made of the of the several Senatars chosen, Exeellencyjthe Governorinthe Chair.

The new Senators, with the Secretary, Attorney General and General Treasurer, their engagements; and the with the expression of his good to the House, having conducted (the first Senator to the Gevernor's Chuir, with the Lt. Goveraor, retired. The Grand Committe then sepnrated, the House udjourned to 3 in aflernoon. Hazard swid that before nny other business was transacted, thought it their duty to take measures secure government for the year eusuing; he therefore moved that the (be iavited to join the Tlouse in Grand Committee 1o consider the propriety and lexpediency of supplying the vacaucies in Seuate, Mr. Hazard said he was satisfied it was a course entirely within their Constitutional powers, and cousonant (with the very best usages that could be the usages that have come down to us from our ancesters.

Mr. Hazard was appointed a to invite the Senate te join the House for that purpose. "Fhe Hon. Senate nttended in Grand Committee, Hon, Samuel W. King first I Senator, in the Chair.

Mr. Hazard said it was their duty to provide for continuing the Govermment. There was barely officers enough to con- (ue the government in existence if a single Senator dies, the government expires, It requires the attendance of every Sena- tor ('llu-cu-d, to earry on the government. If he hind the least doubt of the power of the Grand Committee to provide agninst the failure of the government, he would be the last maw to propose this let the davger be what 3t would. The Charter is silent upon this sub- jeets the Charter provided for the wants of the people in their then eondition of- Sficers were elected in Town Meeting and full number were alwnys clected after- when the nomber of towns ccreased, the goveruor and nssistants pass- ced a Inw requiring the freemen to vote in their own towns; then vacancies ofien oc- assnmana se el ek Ll pah Lot au Bt alt curred sometimes there was no election, and semetimes officers refused to serve thece vaenncies were filled by the Governor and company.

He hiad an abstrac: of a multitude of precedents in such enseg, prepared by he Secretary. He thought it necessary and proper to pass empowering themselves to il yacancics in the Senate, A long debate followed in which Messrs. Simmons, Randalph, Patter, Clurke, and others ook the Committee rose, without any decision, Reports of Commissisners of the Burrillville Bank 3 of the General Treasurer of Commissioners on the Sarplus Revenue 5 of the Bank Comnussioners, were severally rend and received. The doeket of private petitions was continued to next session, On metion of Mr. Clarke, of Providence, Mesers.

Hazard, Simmons, Potter, T. T. Hazard and Rlake were appomnted committee 10 enquire what ineuns ought to be taken in reference to the vacancies in the Senate, and the necessity of uny alterations in the eleciion laws of this State. And the House adjourned to Saturday Saterpay, May 2. The Committee appainted ereet the Siate Areenal on the site of the old Jail, reported that they kad pulled down the old Jail, aud were aliout to ercet the Arsennl; but that they had conference with a eommittee of the City Council of Providence, which cavsed the The city was anxious to purchase the It from the Sunte, or 1o give in exchange Aanvther lot equally valwable, in order that Ahey might open public square commandiog an open view from the Court House 10 the State Prison.

The Senate were then invited to join the House in Grand Committee, to finish the clection of officers, as ahove reported, and the Houses separated. The net to establish the fecs for recording births and marringes, was read twice and passed.

Sundry nccounts allowed. Mr. Simmons submitted an amendment to the standing rules of the House, requiring the appeintment of a standing Committee on Agriculture and the amendment prevailed. Messre. Almy, Aldrich, Potter, Rhodes, and Hall were appointed that Committee, Sundry concurrences were received from the Senate.

All business belore the House, remaining unfinished, was postponed, and all officers in whose places others have not been appointed, continued to next session; and the HMouse voted to adjourn te meet at Newport the seccond Manday in June. Inmexse Mroarary the most stupendons military defences recorded in histery, were the lnes of fortification erected by Wellington in 1810 for the defence of Lisbon, They extended fifv miles, had on thew one hundred and fifiy furte, or three to mile were flanked with nbhattis and breastworks, with six hundred oieces of ordnance, and defended by seven. 1y thousand men. Towall the details 1o make them secure they were perfect, and formed a barrier which proved impregnable 1o the Freneh, who were hareassed by hooger, while communieation with'the sea kept nrmy supplied with provisions nnd ammuniiion. The history of annquity, and even the marches of the conquerors who led millions (0 devastate the world, furcish nothing to compare with this.

Such immense works, performed on an emergency by nrmies, dlustrate the manaer i which the great works ol antiquity were cannls and reservoirs, pyramids and roads whieh remaia io the present day, the monument of the tyrauny of julers, when the life of the pesnsant wae eaunted as nathing before the will of the despot.

WEDNESDAY, MAY Sth, 1539, Tur result of the late election this State as declared by the Committes of the Assembly appeinted to count the votes, is different from what we expected, and, as our cotemporary of the Providence Herald says, hias astonished all parties. It appears that seven of the Federal Senators are elected, by the followimg mujorities, viz W. King, Bosworth, Reynolds, Fowler, S. Browning l()lucy Whipple, Aldrich, Bowen, for Secretary has a majority of 900; and Albert C. Green, 15 clected Attorney General, without opposit- ion; and John Sterue, (Democrat) General Treasurer by a majority of 56 over Wm, Nichels, the federal candidate, and of over all, Gov.

Sprague lacked 358 votes of a re-election and Lt. Gov. Childs 156 votes. Seven Senators being declared elected is sufficient to organize the State Government for the year, and Samuel W. King, Ist Sepator, acts as Governor.

SETTLEMENT OF HUNDRETH ANNIVERSARY. The site where the town of Newport is laid out, was examined and adopted for that purpose by the first settlers of the town, being nine in number, on the Ist day of May 1639, old with the 12th of May new style, which will be 200 years on Sunday next. The people of Newport are left in no doubt as 'to the precise time of locating the town, A memorandum made by Peter Easton, son of one of the nine principal settlers, is now extant, in his own hand writing, as fo'llows, viz: This year the Ist of the 3d we came to Newport. In the beginuing of May this year the Eastons came to Newport, in Rhode-Island, and builded the first English building, and there planted this year and coming by boat they lodged at the Island called Coastors the last of April 1639, and the Ist of May, in the morning, gave that Island the name of Coasters Harbor, and from theuce came to Newport the same The Committee appointed by the town of Newport to place a new stone at the grave of Gov. Ws.

Conping- Tox, have determined to erect the said stone onthe T'wo Hundredth Anniversary of the Settlement of the Town, on Sunday morning next, and will meet such of the cit izens as choose to be present, on that occasion, at hallpast o'clock in the morning, at the grave of said Gov. Coddington, which is in the small burying place in front of the 2nd Baptist Church, on Farewell-street, Atthat time the year began in March. Frexcn Smir papers received at New York by late arrivals, state that Marsaud and Raymond had beeu tried at Brest, for murdering the Captaiu of the Alexandre, and seven others, and running away with the Marsaud had made a full confession, alleging that he took no part in the murder, and that Raymond was the instigator and projector of the crime finally, that they have both been convicted and condemned to death. i We shall probably soon receive full particulars of Marsauds confession, which we will lay before our 'readers. LATE NEWS FROM ENGLAND.

The advices by the packet ship George Washington are to the 29th March from Liverpool, and to the 27th from Londou. The New York papers furnish the following summary of the intelligence received. We are happy tosay that the tone of Ministers in Parliament, and of the public press is highly pacific in relation to the Maine difficulties, notwithstanding the inflammatory speeches in Congress which have been published, with the measures adopted by that body previous to its adjournment. In short all danger of a collision between the two countries on this question has, at least for the present, happily passed away. It will be that Mr.

Buller, Secretary to Lord Durham, takes the ground, but without detailing facts, that Kngland is entirely wrong in all her claims. Neither the prominent Ministerial nor Tory journals are warlike in their tone. On the contrary, both parties appear to be satisfied that negotiation and mutual concession will settle the vexed question. The intelligence of the passage of the which some of our alarmists predicted would produce an awful excitement in England, appears to have been received with great equanimity, the measure being looked upen as merely precautionary and, as such, fully justified by the circumstances, On the 2Gth March, in the House of Lords, Lord Broughman, in calling the attention of Government to the state of the Canadian prisoners, who, he understood were treated like common felons, said he hoped England would escape a rupture with America, more especially as she was in the wrong. On the 26th of March the House of Lords adjourned till the 11th of April, and the Commons till the The fine appearance of the Newport Artillery, and their excellent discipline, won them much praise Ilast week.

We were pleased to sec their ranks so full, (and hope they may continue to increase. By the by it strikes us that it would be nothing more right and proper, if the Assembly should allow the members of the Company some compeusation for the (extra sacrifice of their time in awaiting the movements of the Assembly. The Compuny was under arms during 'three days, and we think have a fair claim for two compensation. We are aware that they do not such a claim, but we think that the Asscubly 'ought to make them an allowance, in some shape, or to reguire their attendance i "ture, We undeistand that the Transpociation Company intend to withdraw all their boats from the Stonington route, as soon as their presen contraet expires, which it (will in about five or six weeks, and to run them on this route. DBeing dissatisfied with the Long Wharf, their boats, afier this week, are to stop at Devan's Wharf, until a wharf is built for them onthe Point.

Suchare the in circulation, and although we do not vouch for the truth of them, we believe they are correct. If that Company desire (0 regain the public favor, let them cease their opposition to the Richmond, and run for a fair price, and we have no doubt that they will succeed.

The official returns of votes, as in the Providence Journal, shows i that we were correct. Mr. Dulleck, had 139 votes for Governor, the Democratic Prox for Senators had 142 votes, and Mr. Sterpe had 121 his majerity over the Governar 42, and over the Senatorial ticket 29. The steam ship Liverpool had not ar-f rived at New York on Monday evening.

Four packet ships arrived on Suonday, and broughl! advices to the Bth of April, but no news of much importance. The Liverpool was to leave that port on the 20th ult. Tne Lavies Compasiox for May has been received. It is a beautiful on new type, and embellished with a fine engraving representing Saratoga Lake.

Gratiet' from the army, and the imputation of default, on his part, tock the public by sarprise, much interest has heen manifested in the result of the suit, brought by the government, to recover the balance of money claimed against him. The suit came on for trinl before the Federal Cirenit Court, for Missouri, on Wednesday, the 10th instant, The circumstances of the cuse, we have learned them from persons who were present, are as fallows, The Government elaimed a ballance of noney advaneed to the defendant, of abont 000.

The defendent elaimed nn oflset, of a larger sum, for cxtra official services rendered by bim, directing and superintending public works, of a civil nature, not appropriate to his military station, and in the labor and responsibility of disbursing publie money, Wednesday and Thursday were ocenpied in giving evidence to the jury, and in discugsing the points of law befare the Court. On Friday morning, the Court instructed the jury, pointedly, sgainst the claim of set off; aud that the services ren-. dered by him, in relation to civil works, were not extra and that, therefore, he was not entitled to any compensation for such services, altheugh they occasioned, according to the proofs in the cuse, three times the labor of his military duties proper. The jury, however, declined to obey the tastructions of the Court; declaring, (as some of them did 1 open conrt) that Ihey could not eonscicntiously give a verdict against the defendant, as they considered the evidence ample for his having heard the discussion of the law questions, were satisfied in that respect also. The jury remained in confinernent until Tuesday, the 16th instant, and then were dissolved by the adjournment of the Court, It is, perhups, proper to remark, that, as far as we have understood, there was no tincture of party politics wn the jury.

It was composed of gentlemen of both partics, and of entire strangers to Gen. Gratiot. There was not oue of the old inhabitants of Louisiana on the jury; and Gen. Gratot, though a native of this city, has been absent, in the public service, for nearly thirty-five years. Since the adjournment, we learn that the jury were for obeying the instructions of the Court, and fen i favor of a general verdiet for the defendant.

It may be true, that, techniesl sirietness, the jury is bousd to obey the instructions of the Court in matters of law yet, the conscientious scruples of the jury, in this instence, will go far to satisfy the pubhe, that however the account between Gen. Gratiot and the Government may be ultimately settied, by the courts of law, his claims have been henestly and fairly made, with the foll belief, on his part, that they are just and right. We forbear further comment on this case, as it is still pending, and we would not willingly publish any thing that might tend to the eause of public justice. From the Floridian of the 20th April.

Elizabeth, 7 days from Key Biseayne, has politely furnished us with the follow- duy or two previous to lis uiling from Fort Dullas, a purty of about 20 soldiers were seut out, under cominand of sergeant, to eut steamboat woed, After the sentinels were posted, and the men commenced their work, oune of them, to alarm his companions, ganve a mimic Indian vell, at the top of his voice, when suddenly rose up in fall view, almost within gun shot, a body of about 50 Indians. The sergeant promptly furmed his men and commenced pursuit, jeined by Lieut Ruggles, who, on hearing the alarm, left orders for the remmunder of his company 10 follow. The ludians moved off leisurely, preserving their distance, running when the soldiers ran, and walking when they walked. It is supposed that the Indians contemplated surrounding the working party Ly when the aceidental whoop of the soldier caused them to be discovered.
