PROVIDENCE, Oct. so.
Legislature Of Rhode -Iskand-On Tues.
day last the General Assembly of this State
convened in this town, when the following
MESSAGE of his ExceIency the Governor,
was communicated by the Secretary.
=, Gentlemen ofthe Senate. and
Genfiemen ofthe House IF Representatives
In obedience TO yonr resolution of the S;h
f July last, on the 1lth wrote Major Gen
erai Dearborn requesting him cause to be
delivered to me, for the use of the militia of
this State, the United States arms then de-
posted in Newport and have now the
honor to lay before you that officers yery
singular dnaSyer, under date of july 18th.
On the 2lst of July, ] received another
letter from General Dearborn, under date
OF the 18th Chat letter also Law before
you,) IN which he requests me to order into
the service of the u. States (in addition To
this States quo,l of the 100 600 men or
dered by Congress) two companies of ar
tiiierv, and two companies OF infantry, with
Major. to be posted in the forts and bat
teries at Newport ; an answer to which on
the 21s wrote that officer, copy of which
is herewith preseH.ed
Being informed by the General, that the
United States troops were to be ordered
from Newport. and finding that the State
was 10 be LETT without protection, was in
dnced to convene the Council of War, and
take their opinion of the measures most
proper TO adopt under these circumstances
And although did not hesitate as it re-
gardrd my duty respecting this States quo
ia OF militia, as ordered at Nav session, and
called for by General Dearborn, yet con-
side'ing IT question Of the highest impor.
lance to the Unied States generally, and to
this state in particular, it became necessary
to take their opinion, wherher the militia of
this State could be Withdrawn from the au
thority thereof by the President of the Uni
ted States, except in the particular cases
provided for by the constitution Of the United
States, who Is to be the Judge, whether those
exigencies exist or not
With respect to the withdrawing of the u
States troops from Newport, by the Presi
dent, however iusproper, yet as imminent
danger of invasion did not exist, and Con
sidering the deficiency of funds in our State
Treasury, the Council were of opinion that
1t was not expedient at that time to increase
the expense of the State, by ordering anv
part of the militia into service.
On the question, whether the militia of
this State can be wi hdrawn from the au-
thority thereof, except in the particula
cases provided for by the constitution of the
United States. they are unanimously ofopin-
ion, that they could MT.
On the second question, viz. when the
militia OF this State are called for by the
President Of the United States, who is to be
the Judge whether these exigencies provi-
ded for by the constitution Of the United
STATES, exist or not They wet, e also man
lmously of opinion, that the Executive oi
the State must, and of right ought to be he
judge.
On the ODD of july, agreeable to your re
solution OF the 9th, wrote the President of
tn" United States, and enclosed him "a copy
of that resolution, and requested him to give
orders to the proper officer to deliver m
two thousand stand Of small arms, and six
field pieces, with such quantities of am
