THE LAUNCH.

On Saturday an attempt was made to
launch the U. States ship independence,
from the Navy Yard in Charlestewn.-
The ship moved on her ways ~ feel, and
then stopped. As the tide was up, and
covered a considerable extent of the ways,
from a full examination, it was deemed
proper, not to make any efforts to get her
of, until a more general survey could be
made on the tides leaving her. 1t was
then found that the only cause of her stopp-
ing was the tallow not adhering to the ways.
An effort was yesterday made, to force her
over the bare ways by mechanical powers,
which did not succeed and the ways will
therefore be removed and again taliowed-
after which the ship will no doubt glide.
INTO her element, ito which she has partly
advanced) in perfect safety so much SO,
that we are authorized to state that Com
modore Bainbridge would not have her in
her original position, could it be done mere.
ly by expressing the wish.
All persons who have seen her, and are
competent to judge, consider the founda-
ton OF the wharf and ways perfectly secure,
and that the ship is admirably secure in
her cradle. Preparations will be complet,
ed on Tuesday or Wednesday next at
farthest, for launching the ship, when not
the least doubt remains of her being launch
ed In perfect safety.

The House of Assembly sincerely
regret that " the measures which We's
,aIen upon that emergency" by your
Excellency, were not more eHsctual IN
defending the state from the incursiohs
of the enemy.
It cannot be doubted that if this war
be continued, the burthen OF defence
must fall heavy upon the people OF the
State of N. Y. all of whom must DC
materially injured, < many totally ruined
by it. The House of Assembly iee' tue
necessity of equaliuing the bufthen as
much as possIable, and will heartily
concur in any constitutional measures
which your Exce.lency may recommend
for thia purpose, and which they may
deem proper and. cffectual.
That part of your Excellency's speech
recommending the raising corps oil vo-.
Iunteers, and giving them suitable re"
enumeration for closthing, * an increase
of pay, has excited no surprise, as the
House of Assembly think your Excel
lency must be convinced, from what has
happened upon our frontier, that it the
state of N. Y. is to By defended from
the incurSions Of the enemy, 1t must be
by force of her own providing, & not
by one provided for her by the general
government.
The H. of Assembly observe what
your Excellency says ia relation to the
Direct Tax, laid by the Congress OF the
United States, but are by no means con-
yinced by the reasonings contained III
your Excellcncy's speech, that at a time
when your Excellency is recommending
us to increase our burthens by providing
for our own defence, the state OF n. \:
should deprive herself of any OF her re
aaurces by giving them to the general
government.
The House Of Assembly return, with
your Excellency, most humble & hearty
thanks " to that indulgent Providence
which has mingled SO many Of the enjoy
ments and blessings of peace, with the
"heavy Affections OF this war;" and they
/" imp.ore him to continue his benedic-
tons upon our beloved country, and to
grant w unanimity, patriotism and wis
dom TO pursue, at this important session,
The most es.entialinterests of the Union"
BY enabling US to act in such manner,
as to put an end to this horrid war, and
TO save the rights and liberties OF the
people of this state from the dangers by
which they are threatened.

Brigadier General Parker, lately ap.
pointed to the command of the army at

we understand, of the promotion, over
him, of younger officers. This step
must add to the coed opinion already SO
universally entertained Of General Fur
ker for what officer, who could clam
distinction in bis profession, would con-
tinue to serve under circumstances so
degrading and paiPably unjust {, Gene
raj Parker, as an old, experienced and
meritorious officer; OF courage and Ia
lefts highly approved, wanted rot the
splendor of an accidental achievement
to light him Oh to promotion, and IT ia
uortism has conferred that On another
which belonged exclusively to hiio, he
mad no honorable alternative but TO re-
sign. There is 10 one, we believe, who
is any way interested in the safety OF this
place, bot must regret the circumstance
of General Patkcr's resignation, though
every candid and honorable nisnd must
accord In the sentiment, that he could
no, do otherwise, consistently with the
dictates Of honor. Until new appoint
ment takes place, the command will de-
volye upon Lieut.. Col. Freemen.
