" The amendment to the eontliiution has been
paled unanimoufly. Judge Bowan difiniffed from
office, on an infurration at paired, making it death
without benefit of Clergy, to ufe any "unions or ex-
prafione, tending to excite intimation in the ftate.
" The Houfe adjourned without waiting for the in.
Itration of the petition for a Rate Wilk, which will
be a greet 'mortification to Come of our cattle builders.
" Since you left us, we have had an uproar, little
inferior to the one exhibited wbilft you was here.'
and which has fickened fome of our volunteer corps
of the fervice they were employed,in. The Deputy
Martha went down the river and *rafted forme fifths
officers of the French Picaroon, and brought them to
town, but I underftand liberated them on parole; the
day following they could not be found, and the
Rangers and Guards were ordered at eleven o'clock
at nigh_t to ko down to cockfpur, and aft the De-
puty Marthal and the troops at the Fort, and the
Revenue Cotter, to bring the privateer up to town;
but after the Deputy Marital and fome of the officers
went on board and demanded a (wander oldie vef-
fel,the crew defied the whole power of the !late, and
of the United States, (fo much for economy) to take
them, and threatened to carry the officers out to fen
with them. So that after being ab(ent nearly two
days and two nights, they returned, I believe,
afhamed of the errand they had been fent on."
