The Convention this morning enter upon the seventh ‘article of the»Constitution, as reported. There are‘»eleven_,.in all. I The seventh is that- whicli respects religion. There may be some discussioti u1)o"p‘~tlii_s article, and some difference of opinion. The remainder of the report will not probably take up fhiuch time.- The calcula- tion is that the Constitution. willbe engrossed and signed on Monday. It will p|‘0bablY be P""“' . ed before the Convention 1l(.ljOlll‘l1S,lZll11lL the mem- ‘ J hers may carry it home with them. - Present appearances I think areauspic_ious.—-' There has been much difference of opinion and ‘discussion upon the article: relating to the Jit- ‘diciary. The bone of contention was the tenure 5 .-~'of the offices of Judges of the supreme Court-‘- .A.ccording to the report, the tenure was good be- haviour, removablc, however, upon an’address of , two thirds of both houses of the Assembly, as well-as by impeaclimeiit. Some thought they ougm to be appointed from year to~ye:.tr, as at pl-,;se/m, , The report was finally adopted by up- wards of SO _majority. . . _ _ - As might have been calculated, there is a dif- ference of opinion upon many parts of the .m- strument--.but I am inclined to think‘the Const-i- tution, as it passes eventually, will be generally acceptable to the members of the Convention, and the people. — As the business now stands, -the principle, al- terations fron) the present order ‘of things, are annual elections of members of tlie.Assenibly, instead of semi-annual-—-_-Otie stated session of the Assembly, instead of two-—tliese sessions to be held alternately at Hartford and New-Haven. . The Convention sits three times a day. They go in at 8 o’clock in the morning, and sit until 12--5.30 in at ‘2, and sit until 5—go in again at 6, and sit until 10. ' \Vhatcver may be thought or said by those,who estimate theservices of the Convention by their fruits——those_ who estimate them by the labor be- stowed, will be fully satisfied that.the members earn their money. I An article in the St. Cliristoplier’s Advertiser, tinder date of St. Bart/tolomc-ws, July 12, states that two piratical schooners, originally fitted out at Baltimore, have under cloak of commissions from Artigas, brought into thatisland, two valua- ble Portuguese ships, of about 4 or 5()0 tons each, loaded with rum, sugar, coffee, hides, tallow, Sac. After making entry at the custom-liouse, they commenced discliarging their cargoes, which the agents sold, or re-shippedimmediately on board other vessels, for the Unilcd States .’ .’ ; The in- _’-.-ahitants complained loudly against these pirati- cal acts, but the government treated with indiifcr-_, ence every representation on the. subject. A Capt. P , furnished the pirates with commis- sions, a quire of rw/tic/z /re tool: «wit/z him, in April last, from the River Plate. Two other vessels, (brigs) fitted otit at Baltimore, had since. arrived, bound on a cruize against the Poi'ttigtiese. On this subject,the Democratic Press observes, “ This article, (alluding to the one in qnestion,) demands not only the attention of the citizens, but of the government ofthe United States. If some of ourtcitizens are so unprincipled, as to fit out, in our ports, vessels to cruize against the commerce of neutral and friendly nations, it is the duty of the government to prevent it. Such conduct not only exposes our own vessels to vex- atious searches, to robbery and capture, and reti- ders us odious to our commercail neighbors, but it may involve us in- war. Such conduct is not only disgraceful to us, btit it is injurious to the Patriot cause. How. can any cause prosper, with so profligate a character as the Patriot causemust have, if its flag be only the cover for.Bnccaniers? ’ It is not difficult-to name several of those con- cerned, and it‘ would be well for government to ascertain them and keep awatchful eye over them. Itis due to the honest merchant, due to the hon- ’ or of our flag, and to the peace and prosperity of the nation. A letter from New-Orleans of the 12th tilt. says “ Each of the Insurance offices here are in for 25,000 dollars on slaves, stolen on the high seas. The Bay is full of pirates. Two have been brought in by the Frebraod; pne of which, alaunch, has her papers from Gen. Humbert, at Galveztowri, and is owned by Peter Lafitte.” . . In order to ptit a stop t_o these piratical cruis- ers, we hope and trust government will increase .- \ . . our naval force on that station, without delay.

The rock broke in pie- ces in the fall, and disclosed “ a great number of \chrystaline substances, which are worthy the at- itcntion of the geologist.” The piece broken off, (saysa Buffalo paper,) we understand, is about twenty rods long, and from one to sixrods wide, comprising the principal partof the Table or ex- cavated Rock. It may be considered providen- tial, that the fall of this piece, which,'during the summer months, ‘has been a great part of the time covered with visitors, should have happened in the night, without any stipeiincumbent weight or other known cause, to occasion it. number of strangers this season. A flight of stairs is now erecting, on the American side, per- fectly safe and commodious, so that even ladies can descend nearly 200 feet from the precipice and reach the foot of the falls with ease and safe- ty.
