. - In pursuance of a resolution of the last
General Assembly, a convention of delegates
. ‘fz"o_m the towns -in: this State, assembled at
Ilartford, who, after a sedulons attention to
the trust reposed in them, formed a Consti-
~ tution of civil government for the people of
this‘ State, which was submitted to their con-
sideration, on the first Monday of the pres-
‘ ent inonth. If it shall appear, from the re-
turns-to _ be made to this Assembly, that the
‘ ’ plan of the convention has been approved by
the people, a revision of some of our laws,
'- for the purpose of rendering them conforma-
ble to the provisions of that instrument, may
be deemed expedient.
Tine measures which I liave, on fl)l‘mI‘I"
ccasious, i'ccounnentlo«l to the notice of the
General Assembly, have, in my judgement.
lost noneof theirimportance. If you enter-
, tain a similar opinion, and the other busi-
- ness of the session is such, as to afford leis-
ure for the purpose, they will doubtless re-
ceive your consideration. I am happy in
being able to inform you, that I know of no
other subjects of general concern, which ap-
pear to require your attention.
In this favoured country,- the only legiti-
I mate objects of legislation, are the security
of equal rights and privileges, to every por-
‘ tion of our fel_low--citizens ; and these objects
' can only be attained, by laws enforcing,‘ the
"' observance of strict and iml"'-1'-“ill .l“3tlC9-
i.I.n’ In-otiortion to “lo :'ul[)0l't3l1CB of those sub-
‘ °{.CtS_ ,..i.:.n may come underconsideration,
lhe. obligations of sincerity, candour and
mutual forbearance will be increased. That
our mutual co~n.sultations may result in pro-
inoti_ng_tlie best interests of our constituents,
is the "fervent wish of my heart. '

Public distrust and dissatisfaction rapidly in-
crease, for'indee(l nobody ’is'secure in their own
houses, such is the system ofthe government
and the preponderance of the Inquisition.—-
[Here follows a list of thirteen persons, who were
seized and shut up in the Inquisition at that place
.-‘mo at Saragossa, on the nights of the 18th and
-.-’4.ibi.Ju‘ne: and adds]--“ The seizure 0f'their.
property has been extremely severe ’; nothing
lhcst: victims possessed has been spared. Even
' ihcir wearing apparel was given in charge to the
stewards of the Holy tribunal. The whole clinic
of these prisoners is, that they are accused" of be-

Accounts from London state that the lfolar
expedition was spoken, May 10, in lat._80, 55,
about 8 miles from Spitzbergen. The atmos-
phere at this time was very clear, and it is stated
thatthey could behold the sun in its whole circle
around the heavens. There was scarcely any
night ; and from the top-mast, could be seen with
a glass, to the extent of between 40 and 50 miles.
across the great polar basin. The sea was open
for some distance farther, but many {laws of ice
were to be seen, and the informant thought the
expedition could proceed but little farther. '

There are forty-seven figures in the whdlfi_ ~'
nineteen in a standing, and the remainder "*iin».a

those heroic and high minded men, who, placing
their confidence in the justncss of their cause,
and in the favor of Heaven, dared to pronounce
these United States “ free and independent.”—-
The likenesses are intended to represent ‘the-
gncmbers as they‘ appeared in 1776, and with the
gostqme of {hit day. It would not comport with
the limits of a newspaper paragraph, to com-
ment upon this splendid picture with critical mi-
'nut"eness. Most of our citizens. it is presumed,
will embrace the opportunity before it is forward-
ed to Washington, of examinining and judging

tion'—-in keeping, coloring and perspcclive——in
its niinutcr touches, and in its general~efl'c-ct, it.
is every way worthy of thecvent which it records
-—of the patronage which has brought it,into.be-
