AMERICA.

We have freQuently taken occasion to notice the
persevering spirit of hostility to the measures of Mr.
MADISON and-.the War Party in America, as evinced
by the inhabitano of the States of Massachusets and
Vermont. The Governor of the latter State having
recently incurred the displeasure of the Political
Chiefs at Washington, has been most strenuously
supported by his brother Pattiots of Massachusets.—
We copy the following articles or, the subject from a
New York paper of the 21st of January :

MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATURE,

" JANUARY e.i.

•' Friday last, the Hon. Mr. Otis moved the follow-
ing Resolu►ions should be laid upon the table, until
the motion in the House of Representatives in Con-
gress which caused it, should be again actad upon :

" Whereas certain Resolutions have been proposed in the
House of Representatives of the Ut:ited States, the subject of
which is to vuthorize and direct a proseeution to he instituted
against his Excellency the Governor of the State of Vermont for
his official condtxt in relation to the Militia of that State, the
command of which, except in cases specified in the Constitution
of the United States, belongs of right to the Executive Autho-
rity of the State : and while the respect dae to the National
Legislature fen bids the belief that so flagrant an indignity to as
Independent State will fatally receive their sanction, yet as every
attempt to make the Governor of a State amenable fpr his offi-
cial conduct to any Tribunal other than that erected by the
People of the State over which he presides, is a subject of just
alarm, and cegt t to be promptly repelird.

" Theref,re, resolved, '1 hat it wili lie the duty of the Corn•
monweal:h of :Massachusetts to aid the Govercor and People of

the State of Vermont, or of any other Stare, with their Wh-le
power, enabling them to support their Constitutional Rights,
whenever the same shall be in danger of infringement from any
*quarter; and that it will be the duty of the I.egislature of Ver-
mont,
or of any other State, upon the evidkasre of such infringe-
ment of their Constitutional Rights, to make provision by law
for their tffectual support."
" A spirited Memorial of the Inh tbi4nts of Deer-

The fire in the work-shop of Covent Garden
Theatre was nothing more than some soot which
caught fire by the burning of some shavings. The
walls are so thick, and so perfectly free from timber,
that if all the chimnies in the Theatre were to be on
fire there would not be the slightest danger.
