.4bstract of the Legislative proceedings.

' On Thursday, 8th, the House elected the
Rev. Augustus Bolles, a member from ,VVind-
sor,‘ chaplain during the_session. The Speak-
er appointed a committee to bring forward the
unfinished busintass ofthe last session ; also a
committee to receive military returns. A re-
solution was adopted, on motion of Mr. Foot,
to -appoint a select committee of one from a
county, to nominate field officers for the corps
of artillery. The roll ofthe Senate and H. of
Representatives, with the places where they
lodge, was ordered to be printed. '

On Friday, the Speaker appointed Messrs.
Fairchild,‘ Ingersoll and Lyman, Committee
of_,Finance: Messrs. Church, Hitchcock, and
Nichols, Erigrossiug Committee : Messrs. N.
Johnson, Hitchcock, Deming, S.'l‘aylor, Can-

ficld, Sharp, Harris and King, Committee to-

ring forward uhfinislted business, reportetl
that they had called on the Secretary and do
not llnd tiny tinfinislietl -business of the last
s'cs‘si'on iii the office. Sundr petitions were
read, among wlii'clt was one rom \Vindham,
North-Stoningtori and New-London, praying
for the repeal ofthe Steaur-boat law-—-Refer
red to__a select committee of one from a omni-
ty. The petition of, sundry Episcopalians‘
praying for the establishment of a college,
was presented and read. On motion by Mr.

Ingersoll to refer it to a joint committee, Mr.

Foot observed, that the law required notice
to be given in all cases ofan adversary nature ;
no information had been giyen to the citizens
of Cheshire, -who had :1 deep interest in it.-
Hc could not consent to act on it until the pe-
tition was modified. Mr. Iugersoll could not
perceive how it could be considered of an ad-
verse nature; but as doubts had arisen, he
was willing to vary his motion ; and it was or-
dered to lie on the table. A bill for an act
concerning crimes and punishments, was read
a second time. A special me.-.:.age from the
Governor was rec’d, accompanied by sundry
communications and documents from the Ex-

ecutives of the states of Massachusetts, South

Carolina and Georgia, respecting an amend-
ment to the Constitution of the U. S.; and
from the Executive ofN. Carolina respecting
an appropriation of public lands for the pur-
poses of education. Mr. Iugersoll remarked
that the subjects embraced itftliese communi-
cations had all been acted on. He therefore

tmoved that the message and documents be
. laid on the table, which was agreed ;0_

A Je-
tition ofthe \Varden and Burgcsses ol'l3i'i(l,lg,e-
port, was on motion referred to a select com-
mittee. Mr. Backus laid in a bill for a public
not, in‘ addition to an act for forming and con-
ductingthe military force. To exempt Del)-
uty Slieritfs and Constables: Read the first
time. Mr. lngersoll withdrew the petition
for a College, with a view to alter it, to meet
the views of the gentleman from Cheshire.—
M.r.‘N. Johnson laid in a bill for a‘ public act,
concerning nnprisonment for debt—read the
first time. The object ofthe bill is, to abolish
imprisonment for debt,exceptin cases offraud.

- On Saturday,‘tl:e Speaker appointnrlMessi's.
Foot,‘Norton,'B_ulkley, ll/aring, Ilall, Rob-
erts,,Scovill and Hendee, a cotnmittee on the
Steam-boat law. Several private petitions
were acted upon. The petition for an act to
incorporate a College was again presented,
and on motion of Mr.Johnson was referred to
a select committee of one from a coumv, A
petition from B. Mills; a revolutionary soldier,
praying a grant ofa small money to cheer his
declining days, was read, and referred to a
committee of three. Mr.Coe laid in a resolu-
tion, appointing a select committee to take
into consideration the act for the assessment

of taxes, to consist of one from a countv—a-

dopted. Upon motion of Mr. Foot, commit-
tees were appointed on certain parts of _the
Govcrnor’siuessage. TheSpeaker appointed
Messrs. Johnson, Ingersoll, Thompson,'Bccrs,
Hall, Alsop and Hcndec, a committee on the
petition for a college. Mr. Darling laid in a’
bill for a public act, providing for the collec-
tion oftaxes, empowering select men to abate
town taxes in certain cases—-Read once. The

‘bill for exempting sheriffs, &:.c. from military

duty, and the bill to abolish imprisonment for
debt, had a second reading. The bill for an
act concerning crimes and punislunents, cm-
powering justices of the peace to send culprits
to work-houses in cases of petty offences, &tc.
was read the third time. It was opposed by
l\I~essrs.Miner, Smith,Cogswell and Fairchild,
principally on the ground that it would intro-
duce an incongruous and unequal system of
punislnncnt, and would not produce the effect
intended, and that very few towns had work-
houses or places proper for the disposal ofsnch
They commended, generally, the
object of the bill, if to be attained ina proper
mauner.- Mr. Johnson, in reply, considered
the arguments urged defective. He was not
very: solicitous about the bill; he thought,
however, that the experiment could be safely
tuade, and if found to answer a salutary pur-
pose, towns having no work-houses would es-
tablish them ; ifotherwisc, the law cou'ld be
repealed. Mr. Foot said he highly approved
ofthe object ofthe bill; be thought it did not

-go far enough: as there appeared to be ob-

jections to it, he would move to lay it on the
table, with an assurance on his part to call it
up_for reference to the penitentiary commit-
tee. The motion was carried, and after the
transaction of some business of minor impor-
tance, the House adjourned to Monday.

[W'e have notyet received the New-Haven
Register of Saturdayyior the Hartford Mir-
ror of Monday, we are therefore nimble to
give the legislative proceedings of last week.
We learn from a gentleman who came from
Hartford onSunday,tlu1t a bill had been passed
granting a charter for an Episcopal College.]

In the General Assembly of Rhode Island,
on Thursday last, a petition from n number of
citizens of Newport, was presented, praying
the passing of a law restricting the N. York
Steamboats, from iiavigating the waters of
this State, in case the Fulton Company should
refuse reciprocal rights to the citizens ofthis
State. The petition, together with a bill frotn
the Senate imposing a tax of 50 cents on ev-
ery passenger brought on the waters of Nar-
ragzmset Bay, by Steamboats, were referred
to a committee, to report next session. This.
bill caused great —ex-citetneut, and from the
opposition manifested on the occasion, it is
probable that it will be rejected in thelfouse
of Representatives.——.N'ewport paper.

From the Baltimore Patriot,of the 15th inst.

The Vice President of the U. S. passed
through this city yesterday, for the purpose of
procuring a final and equitable-_settlement of
his accounts, according to the power delega-
ted to the President ofthe United States by a
special act ofthe last Congress. We regret
to state, however, that he has not been able
to effect any thing, in consequence, as we are
informed, ofthe President having left lVash-
ington the day of his arrival there. It was
the intention ofCongress, to have a final close
ofthis unfortunate man’s accounts beforethe
rising ofthe last session, and for this purpose,
some of the oldest metnbcrs stepped forward
to aid in the accomplishment of so desirable
an object. But, as yet, nothing has been done
and the delay is said to be a most serious in-
jury to the Vice-President.

TUESDAY, ‘MAY 20, iisgs. , . ..

s VIR9’(/E, LIBERTY, AND INDEPENDENCE.’

-. No doubt dur readeis will excuse the bar-
renncssofoiir columnstltis week,when we in-
form thelii that for several days past we have
received. none of our New-York papers, and
not more thanibiie fourth of oiir usual uurnber
from other places. We are not mtibli dispos-
ed to censure any one for this neglect of our
interests, the present wzirm iveatliei‘ having
probably exerted an utifiivoiable influ_enc'c up-
on some of the clerks’ in this Post" Office db-
partment, and given thetn a sliglit touch dftlie
spring-"ever. Should this be the cast: tlley
are more deserving ofpity _than censure.

[Since the above was in type, and after
the usual time of putting our paper td piess,
we obtained from a gentleman in Saugatuck,
(to whom we acknowledge our obligations,)
the loan ofthe N. Y. Daily Advertiser ofyes-
terday, from which we extract the following
important foreign intelligence]

By the arrival ofthe packet ship Leeds, in
93 days from Livtrrpool, London papers to the
cad, and Liverpool papers to the 224th, have
been received. Selectionsfollow.

It will be seen in the first place that the
great question of peace or war has been decid-
ed, by the entrance ofa large body of French
troops into Spain. '

The state of things on the continent, has
produced a great sensation in England. The
ministry have submitted ‘to Parliament the
whole budget of negociations ‘between Great
Britain and France on the difficulties between
the latter nation and Spain. It has been a
great object with the French government to
ascertain what course Great Britain would
pursue in case of actual hostilities between
France and Spain for the alleged causes.-
Great Britain hasunifor_mly answered to these
inquiries, that other powers had no right to
interfere in the internal affairs ofSpain—that
‘ the improvement of the new Spanish system
should, according to the laws of nations, be
left to Spain itself’—-and the British add, that
they ‘ cannot see any reasonable apprehen-
sions to France from the state of affairs in
Spain’——and as one object of the correspon-
dence on the part of France was to ascertain
what moral aid Great Britain would afford
the former in case of actual hostilities, they
should decline the promise of moral, which
we presume means pe‘t:tuiiary, aid, and still
more strongly active ,co—operution.

On the subject of the warlike Notes issued
by the various powers of the continent, and
the withdrawing their Ambassadors from
Spain, the British Ministry answered-—-that
they should decline holding acominon lan-
guage with their Allies upon the occasiou,and
repeated ‘that the arrangement ofthe inter-
nal affairs of Spain belonged to Spain itself.’

In answer to all neguciations on the subject
Spain gives one tmifortn answer, viz. that it is
inconsistent with the honor ofthe Spanish na-
tion to admit the intervention of fort-:igne'rs
in her internal concerns-—and that she can
listen to no proposals for reconsidering her in-
stitution while France inenaccs her with hos-
tilities. Mr. Canning finally declares, that
the British government cannot allow of any
attempt on the part of Spain to appropriate
to lierselfany part of the Spanish Atriei‘icati
islands or provinces. 'l‘ne whole corres-
pondence closes with a declaration of neutral-
ity on the part ofGreat Britain.

In the Chamber of Deputies, April 10, the
Minister of the \VarDeparttnent communica-
ted to the Deputies that the hopes of the King
in establishing harmony between the two coun-
tries had been disappointed, and that recourse
must be had to arms. In consequence, the
Duke d’Angoulcme had received the Kiug’s
order to cross the frontier.

One of the French papers states that the
French Revolutiouists hope, if their brethren
in Spain are obliged to quit Seville, that they
will be able to convoy the King off by sea to
America ; this measure it is said will be pre-
vented, as two French frigatas are cruizing
off the entrance of the Guadelquiver.

All Navarre is rising against the Constitu-
tional system. Mina has an army on the
eastern Pyrenuees ; only 5 or 8,000 men are
armed, the remainder badly clothed and des-
titute of arms. The Royalists are masters
of the environs ofMadrid. The Ambassador
of'Portuga| has quitted Paris.—-French pa.

It is stated that the Spanish policy is, to let
the French troops get to Madrid.

Eight hundred men of the army of the
Faith headed by the 'l‘rappiste, passed the Bi-
dassoa on the 5th of,April, and took a posi-
tion near lrun. The Spanish troops fell back
upon St. Sebastian after firing a few shot.——
Some Constitutionalists endeavoured to a!ie-
nate the soldiers by cries of Vive Napoleon,
85c. Gen. Vallin, commanding the French
troops, cried Vive le Roi, and ordered his
men to fire——several fell, among them are
said to be Lamotte, Marrot,and others,French
traitors. Reports were current that the
loss ofthe French in their first attack upon
St. Sebastians was much greater than they
were willing to acknowledge. It IS also said

 

 

from death before St. Sebastian.- .

One account says, the French appeared be
fore St. Sebastian and summoned the place to
surrender. The officer sent was detained.-—
A second officer was sent and detained. An
attack was then commenced. The Spaniards
made a desperate sally,repulsed the assailants
and killed 110 of them. _ Paris dates ofthe
18th state that_St. Sebastian and Pampeluna
were still invested, and would soon surrender.

It is reported that when theDuke d’Angou-
leme ar. at Erani, deputies from 3 Biscayau
provinces presented to him their recognition
ofa Provisional government in Spain during
the captivity of the Kingr-*-—--_-ll W35 Slated

ceived with great ceremony and splendour-

The French advanced guard had entered
Vittoria, and Bilbbfai It had also passetl the
famous defiles of Salinas, four leagues in ad-
vance ofVittoria without difficulty.

Barcelona is defended by 900 regulars, and
15,000 militia. The ramparts _are mounted
with cannon, and the fosses round thetown
filled with water.

Pa_rt's, ./Ipril £2«.—:The port and_ citadel of
Gutaria have been taken by our troops. Two
hundred men among‘ whom were two colonels
and ten other ofiicers have‘. been taken,togeth-
er with five pieces ofcannon, and provisions.

It is said that the enemy have abandoned
Burgos since the 14th. Everywhere theFrench
army meet with the best reception.‘

An Embargo has been laid on all Spanish
vessels in the ports ofFt‘ance.

A letter from Paris dated April 18, says-
‘ Tire 1‘-‘rencli frigate la Gtierriere, has been
taken '.il'llIlOSK in sight of Brest, by two armed
ve§sel_5‘_ bearing Spanish colours. The frigate
was peppered in fine style.’ Another letter
of the same date, says, ‘ All the letters from
Bordeaux ‘and Havre express the greatest a-
larm for the vessels which they expect daily.

nounces the capture by a Spanish cors:iir of

A letter from the Maj. Gen. of the French
army to the Minister‘ of_War, dated Bayonne,
April 17th, states that the “ troops are in full
march--in 2*. few days our 100,000 men .will
be in a line. 'I‘h'en the decisive blow will be
struck. Instirrections mu'ltip'ly in Spain.’

A A letter dated St.Je:iii,Pieil de Port, April
17, states that the French aifmy had passed
the Bidasoa and were every where received
by the Spaniards with;nthtisiasm, Pampe-
luna, which it was said ‘was’ to receive a nu-
merous garrison, and be provisioned for a
year, is, on the contrary, ill provided with
troops, and dcstitntc of every thing-,.’ .The
garrison, including that of the citadel, does

not exceed 2000 men, half of them militia, '_

who, by the accounts of persons woirthy of
credit, wait only for a favorable oppo'rtu_nity
to abandon _a cause which they detest, or
which they have joined only by force. On
the 0th, in the night, 100 ofthe militia rushed
from Painpeluna (doubtless being informed,of
the arrival of the French) andjoiued Col. Ju-
unite, to whom they offered-tlieir services._

The young men ofLucaide who had taken
arms for the Constitution, and who were near
St. Sebastian, desert to return home; sixty of
them arrived in the night of the 11th. It is
affirmed that Andalusia has risen in favour of
the legitimate can.-ac, and that 10,000 men are
already under arms.

A letter to the editor ofthe Charleston Cou-
rier, from an oflicer ofthe U; S. schr. Wild
‘Cat, dated at sea on the 27th ult. reprohates
the conductoftliose persons who publish in
the American papers false and extravagant ac-
counts ofthe capture and destruction ofA-
mericzm vessels, and murder ofAmcricau cit-
izens. even in sightof (Joni. Pon'rt~:n’s squad-
ron, Szc. The outrages ‘committed upon our
commerce are quite sufficient in themselves,
without any undue attempts to swell the list,
and exaggerate the enormitlcs.—Such misrep-
resentations are only calculated to cast a doubt
over those b'.u'barities which really exist.

The last accounts from New—Oxlcans state
that there had been an uncommon flood in
the Mississippi-tlie river had seldom been
known so high, and there was -an apprehen-
sion ofa general overflow ofthe country. The
crop of corn it was believed would be much
injured, and that of cotton entirely destroyed
on many ofthe plantations.

An Albany paper ofMay 13, states that the
navigation of the Northern Canal has been
suspended, by the einbankments giving way
in one or more places. The principal defect
is said to be at Mechzinicrille, 8 miles above
Waterford. A boat with 1500 bushels of wheat
was passing Mechanicville, when the embank-
ment gave way. Weliopc the damage to the
canal, however, is not so extensive as to re-
quirc much time in the repair.

Jlntwerp clm'ms.—Information has been re-
ceived from Mr. Gallatin, our minister at Pa-
ris, stating that claims ofAmerican merchants
for property siezed in the Port of Antwerp,
under a decree ofthe late emperor Napoleon,
will be liquidated by the present government
of France.

Ila]/ti.—A gentleman lately arrived from
Hayti, informs that every thing istranquil and
prosperous there. The late Proclamation of
Presi dent Boyer, regulating the trade of
the Republic, will have the effect to increase
the trade with the _United States, which is al-
ready very considerable.

flstoiiisliing flccmnulation.—In England, a
pound of crude iron costs a half-penny ; it is
converted into steel, that steel is made into
watcli-springs, every one of which is sold for
half a guinea, and weighs only the tenth ofa
grain ; after deducting for waste, there are in
a pound weight 7000 grains—-it therefore af-
fords steel for 70,000 walcli-springs,‘ the value
of which, at halfa guinea each, is thirty-five
thousand guineas.—Dai. fldv.
