HARTFORD CONVENTION.

The gentlemen who have been often ma.
med as forming this body, convened in this
city on Thursday last. AS their proceed.
'ngs, like those of all persons : whose deeds
are evil are involved in darkness, we can
inform our readers of but little respecting
them. All we are yet permitted to know-
Is, that twelve Massachusetts men, seven
Connecticut men, four Rhode Island men.
and two New Hampshire men, met in ,he
council chamber ON that day made choice
OF George Cabot, for their chairman, and
heodore dwight, the editor of the Counecs
ucnt Mirror, for their Secretary Ac,nt
Durham late editor of the Washinetonisn.
applied for admission, as a reo-e sentg five
from the state o; Vermont, bat was refused
the honor of q sitting.
The approach of this meeting los heen
observed with niuch anxiety by the citizens
OF this and the neighbouring towns. A Con.
siderable concourse of people assembled
here on the day, expecting, undoubtedly tn
see something. But when they found thar
the great Glen resorted to a private apartS
ment, like beasts,of prey to their den. thew
went their way with much shagria and dis
| appointment.
The expression depicted on the counte.
nances OF men, was generally that of con
tempt and aohorrence OF the plot. Some of
the higher sort, however appeared as much
pleased as il it were the a%nnunciation of a
jubilee. "
The American Gag was displayed through
the day, with the British flag beneath ar
half mast. Three of the neeting.house
bells tolled q solemn koch, and the United
States band of music played appropriate
(funeraD marches shrougit rs streets. Tn,
On the whole. we are fully satisfied that the
people generally expect nouling good from
this convention.

From fhe Boston Palladium Of Friday.
We were last evening indebted to a respscs

HALIFAX, Nov. S6.
A vessel from Quebec, in which Mai. Genera
Kempt was a passenger, arrived off this har-
bour, when III. M. ship Loire was on the point
of getting under way for England; she sailed
the same day, and the major geuerai wen, in
her. Various are the reports and coriec ,ures
on this occasion ; some affirm he is go ne home
in disgust, others that it is for the purpose Of
advocating the cause of the Governor General,
for whom he has a singular paftislity, as the
late intercepted letters will proye.--Now the
intercepted letters only prove, generally, eur
indeIibIe disgrace in Canada aud as they re-
late to Major General Kempt, that the Coy rnor
General has been induced to select him az n
Mentor for Gersral rummo ; that the good
opinion was reciprocal, remaies to be proved.
To us it appears, that such an officer as MAJ
jor General Kempt could i'll be spared. and that
his services would not have been dispensed
with, had not the Governor Genera been ieac
lous OF his superior talents, aud fearful tina, anv
subsequent amendment in his military career
might have been placed to the advice or
Kempt.-The Major Generals professional
character stands high, very high, and desery.
