Naw Yost, Nov. 4.—Coocress wes to assemble ma
the Cith. All the members of the governess et were re-
ported to be at Washington.
♦t a large meeting at Boston, a petition was agreed to.
from which the following are extracts:—
" Resolved, That we hare regarded with pleasure the
establishment and success of manufactures amongst us,
and consider their growth, when natural anti sponta-
neous, and not the effect of a system of bounties and pro-
tection, as an evidence of general wealth and pros-
perity.
" Resolved, That, relying on the ingenuity, enter-
prise, and skill of our fellow-citisens, we believe that
all manufactures adapted to our character and circum-
stances will be introduced and extended as soon and as
fa► as will promote the public interest, without any fur•
ther protection than they now receive.
" Resolved, That no objection ought ever to be walk
to any amonnt of taxes, equally apportioned and implies/
for the purpose of raising revenue necessary fur the sop
port of Government ; but that taxes imposed on the pe►
ple for the sole benefit of any one class of men are equally
inconsistent with the principles of our constitution and
with sound police.
" Resolved, That the supposition, that until the pro-
posed tariff or some similar measure be adopted we are
and shall be dependent on foreigners for the means of
subsistence and defence, is, in our opinion, altogether
fallacious and fanciful, and derogatory to the character
of the nation.
" Resolved, That high bounties on such domestic ma-
nufactures as are principally benefitted by that tariff
favour the great capitalists rather than personal indu•
try, or the owners of small capitals, and, therefore, that
we do not perceive its tendency to promote national
industry.
" Resolved, That we are equally incapable of dis•
covering its beneficial effects on agriculture, since the
obvious consequence of its adoption would be that the
the farmer must give more than he now does for all
he buys, and receive less for all he sells.
" Resolved, that the imposition of duties, which are
enormous, and deemed by a large portion of the people
to be unequal and unjust, is dangerous, as it encourages
the practice of smuggling.
" Resolved, That in our opinion the proposed tariff,
and the principles on which it is avowedly founded,
would, if adopted, have a tendency, however different
may be the motives of those who recommend then', to
diminish the industry, impede the prosperity, and cor-
rupt the morals of the people."

[PROM THE BALTIMORE PATRIOT, Of?. 29.1

FROM BCKNOS ATIES.--.Later accounts than UT
yet published in this country, contain intelli,gence of a
coavention conrinAsd bettreon the Public Authorities,
mna leading characters of that tiovernment, for the es.
tablishment and preservation of Republican forms and
principles, through that section of South America.
Difficulties, however, arose, relating to the sarreader
of privileges, as a capital, from the City of Buenos
Ayres; but not greater than what was expected after
the defeat of the factions.

General RRLoR•No, of the Patriot Amy in Tent,
lad died, not in good terms with the cause of the
liberty and honour of his country.

EXTRACT Or A LETTIR FROM RICHMOND, VIRGINIA,

DATED OCT. 30.

The Works which the Government of the United
Stairs are erecting at Old Point Comfort, and at the
Rip Raps, arc uncommonly extensive and commanding ;
those upon the Point, on the main land, are so far ad-
vanced, as already to present about 70 embrassures
nearly completed. About one mile from this Work is
the extraordinary mound forming. It consists of stone,
brought in vessels from various parts, and emptied into
the water, one load upon another. This mound is to
form a space of foer acres, above the surface of the
water. We cannot as yet say the number of pieces
of cannon which are to he mounted on these Work‘ ;
but these fortifications will be so strong, as with the
assistance of the steam frigate=, to render any attempt
of an enemy to pass them extremely dangerous.

It will be observed, but not with surprise by these
who have confided in our communications, that the

names of neither the First Lord of the Treasury, tor
of the President of the Council, appear in the 'idol'
those who yesterday attended his MAittiTY'S CORM
It will be also noticed, that after the Court and the
Privy Council were held, his 111tonere gave audiences
to the LORD Cn*CCRLLOR and Lord Sin:mourn. It
may likewise be thought worthy of remark, that
at one of the audiences which the Loan Cuas•
caLLon lately obtained of the Kix°, the inter-
view con►inued for more than two hours. ?ben
occurrences are not of an ordinary kind ; and
taken together with existing circumstances, and with
the knowledge of the differences in the Cabinet rely
tire to the measures that have been pursued, and thel
have been in contemplation, they cannot fail to be
considered as indications of souse approaching cheap.
With respect to the reports that bad prevailed on this
subject, the Ministerial papers, after giving the a
single contradiction, have been content to be silent.
In spite of the confidence with which the rumoured
changes were denied, we remain convinced that, to a
certain extent at least, they will, net ere long, be dr
veloped. Lords Livanroot, and Ilannowne, we an
assured, have intimated their resolution to support ne
longer any measures of harshness, but not to lead
their countenance to the measures of the Opposities.

If the tranquil termination of the venerable Inv
ceedings in the metropolis on Wednesday, can hare
awakened any sentiments but of admiration and re-
spect for the people, it can only he in the perverted
breasts .of. Ministers and their Agents. The mat
nificent scenes they witnessed in the morning of that
day, the venal scribes witnessed only for the purr,'"
of distorting in their representation; and like the
malevolent being who witnessed the felicity of onrirst
parents, they " grinned horribly, a ghastly smile."
They still had hopes, however, that the isasease
masses of the people tout choked the public streets
on the occasion, could not possibly disperse
with.
out such tumult as would justify the alarms pre'
(eased by the adherents of the Coen, and fenlile
a pretext for the interference of the military. Tin
crowds dispersed ►as if by magic—they melted assY
imperceptibly, and in peace. Nothing could bs mat
striking than that quick transition which test
plate between the astounding acclamations of IP
countless multitudes which attended the 'receives
Or the QC'nIN, and the silent course of tordil"l
traffic which succeeded in the streets. Still the dark'
ness of the approaching night, suggested ezpectattoes
of disorder. It could not be imagined, that among SW
myriads of exulting minds at the triumphant ocrerreera
of the day, there would not be ninny that Oa°
