The Convention of Massachusetts to
alter and amend iis present constitution
meet in Boston on Wednesday next. The
number OF delegates elected whose names
are ascertained, is 423. There are about
80 towns to be heard from each town
entitled TO send one delegate. The VEN
cradle John Adams is a member, and
probably will he chosen President of the
Convention. 1t is upwards of 40 years
since the present Constitution was franz
ed. The last number of the American
Review informs us 1t was chiefly from the
pen OF John Adams, now in his seth wear.
We believe the constitution of MaSsachu
ssiis ia the only constitution in the Union
which expressly conters TITLES. 1t pro-
vides that the tile of the Governor shall
lie his ErceHency," aud that of The Lieut..
Governor, HIS Honor" We trust thai
whether the alterations made in the CON
stiiution shall be many or few, that Titles
will be abolished. The present convention
in Massachusetts has not arisen out of
any dissatisfaction with the constitution

administration, more suitable to the nation,

that Church, reported the same without a
mendment, and with recommendation that

to the committee in support OF the applica-

The report of the same committee, unfa-

provision at present for Delegate in Con-

and agreed to.
The resolutions submitted by Mr.. Trim

After some conversation on the object of
the resolutions, which was explained by the
mover,
The first resolution, relative to the inland
frontier, was, on the suggestion Of Mr.. Bar
bour, referred to the committee on military
affairs.
The second resolution, relative to the
survey Of the maritime frontier, was with
drawn by Mr.. Trimble, it appearing that
the object was already provided for by ex-
isting laws.
The third resolution, calling on the Sc
cretary of the treasury for information of
the amount OF expenditures on the mari
time frontier for surveys. light houses, &c.
was agreed to.
The bill from the other house for the re-
lief of John Rice Jones, was taken up, on
motion of NJ. Barbour, who earnestly sup
ported the equity of the relief prayed for,
and opposed the recommendation of the
committee of finance to which the bill had
been referred, to postpone the bill indef-
