MESSAGE j:

Gentlemen gfshe Senafe and
Gardener ofthe House Of Ret,reSentotives,
SINCE your late adjournment, such inn
portant changes have taken place in the
STATE Of our public sffairs, and the war in
which we have been unhapply involved, has
assumed an aspect so threatening and des
tructive, tina. the Council unanimously Con-
Cured with me in their opinion that an ex
,raordina y meeting oil the Legislature was
Indispensable.
AT different times, and for short periods
some of the troops ofthe United States, had
been stationed within this Commonw alth !;
but mos, OF them having been Withdrawn
ior the purpose OF aiding IN the operations
against Canada, it was found necessary in
the course ri the las. session oil the General
Court, and afterwards, to call out number
OF the militia for the protection of the most
exposed places oil our matitime frontier, and
means OF defence as the circumstances of
the state would authorize.
Bfigadier General Gushing, while he was
superintendent oft this military district, in
formed me that he eXpt c,ed an order from
the President If the United States 10 request
a detachment from the militia of this Com
luonweallh foi the defence of the sea.coas,,
and particularly of this town; aud stated
that the number Of the u States troops in
the two forts IN this harbour was not more
than sufficient to man one OF them. He
proposed that one OF the forts should be oc.
cupied by the militia, and agreed that when
called GU: they should be subject to the
comm md OF no officers of the y. States ar.
my, except the superintendent of this mill
,aty district hough it was supposed that
in ordinary cases the militia were not liable
by The Constitution to do garrison duly in
the forts of the Cnited States, yet as the de
fence OF this town was a primary object
with the government otihe State, and we
possessed no other means Of Strengthening
the forts al the entrance OF the han bour |
agreed that the proposed detachment should
be made upon the terms before mentioned.
After had left Boston, received let
ter from Maj. General Dearborn, who had
succeeded General Gushing as superinten
dant OF this military district, dated on III,
