A MERMAID.

Capt. Carey, of the sch. Kate, from
Exuma, bound to this port, informs us,
that on Saturday morning last, about 2 o
clock, being then about six miles TO Inc
south east of the east end Of this island
and being at that time below asleep, was
called by one of the negroes of the crew
Of the schooner, and Informed that
strange kind Of sea animal was along side
the vessel. He Immediately went on deck
when the animal made its appearance
close to the vessels side, and was disco
vered to be Mermaid, or an animal OF
the kind, which he had frequently heard
called by that name. She had two arms,
and hair upon her her head; but the CO.
Tor he could not plainly distinguish; was
about four feet long from head to tail.
and the part below plainly discovered to
be fish, having broad forked tail. The
head was very small, and by no means in
proportion to the body. She continued a.
long side Of the Kate about half an hour,
and at one time when our Informant look
ed over the side, raised her head out of
the water. Our informant also adds,
that he would have caught her, but was
prevented by the intreatics Of the negroes
belonging to the vessel, who appeared very
much alarmed, and insisted that certain
destruction would be the consequence.

OF MASSACHUSETTS.
From the Boston Gazette.

The answer Of the Senate to his Ex-
cellency's Speech was passed on Saturday
the 18th inst. On this occasion MIR. Otis
attempted to stay TIE violence OF party
spirit. and in very animated and impress
sive manner enforced the conviction OF
this necessity, by speech Of nearly two
hours length. at the close Of which he OIL
fered the following amendment to the re-
ported answer: 1t was not opposed by
the majority, in any other way. than by
calling the question of accepting the ORR
;ginal Report, which was carried by the H.
Sual number of votes
MFR. 0tiS's amendment to the Echo, or
.lns1cer Of the Governors Speech.
The Senate have listened with great
concern to those sentiments in your Elk
cellency's Speech, which convey severe
and in our opinion, unmerited censure up
on meeting of our fellow citizens in the
town of Boston, who having assembled in
ga pcaceablc and orderly manner to con-
suit upon the common good,' adopted GER
tain resolutions expressive Of their sense
of the state of pubic affairs and OF their
own grievances.
We are unable to discern any power in
the Constitution, which gives the autho-
rity, or any injunction which prescribes
to the chief magistrate the duty OF de-
nounciEg any peaceable assembly Of the
citizens who have made themselves anne
nable to existing law, merely for the cx-
preston of opinions, from which he may
dissent. In the resolutions from which
your Excellency has been pleased to make
certain partial extracts, we do not disco
YER the pernicious doctrine which in our
opinion warrants the construction and
rebuke expressed in the speech. Far
from encouraging actual resistance to the
laws. they deprecate it as fearful ca
lamiiy. Far from Threatening an appeal
to force. they pray Heaven to avert it,
and express a deep apprehension that a
change Of measures and of rulers, will
alone prevent actual sufferers, from re-
sorting to an extremity, which it is the
ayowed object of the Resolutions to avoid.
That such is the fair and just construct
OU Ul tnCSC llCSOiltlVISs luSt3 We ShluhS
be obvious to your Excellency's dispassi-
onate Judgment. But if language, in
tended merely to express the sentiments
of voluntary assembly of citizens upon
public measures, under whose operation
they were exposed to ruin, might through
the use of an unguarded expression, be
tortured into an eguivocal construction,
we should Lave hoped, that the candor of
your Excellency would have rendered
you inquisit;ve to discover and prompt to
ascribe to it, the best and miidest explain
alton: especially as your long acquaint-
ance with the character of the metropo-
lis, of the patriotism of its citizens, Of
their attachment to the Union of their
readiness, on all occasions, to unite in
depressing Instructions, and defending
their country against all hostile aggressi-
