" B. The First, Second, Fifth,
Ninth, and Tenth articles of the pro-
posed Amendments, have been rejected
by large majorities of the people.
The First Amendment proposed
some new constitutional provisions for
the support of the institution Of publick
worship by all religious societies., and
for the repeal Of that part of the Dec
laration of Rights which invested the
Legislature with authority to enforce
an attendance upon the instructors of
publick worship. Also, that persons on
trial should have a right to be fully
heard by themselves and their counsel.
BY rejecting this amendment, the peo-
pie determine, that the old provisions
on the subject Of publick worship and
religions freedom are sufficient-and
that criminals cannot employ counsel
and plead their own causes.
Second. By rejecting the Second
Amendment, the people have determin-
ed not to depart from the good old Gus
tom of their forefathers in p9eferring
the mild weather of May to the cold Of
January, for holding their annual Jubi-
bee on the Commencement Of the po-
litical year and thiok it more conve-
nient to elect their Governour,. Senators,

The King, after his entrance on the 27th,
took up his residence, as usual, in the
Royal Palace. Here ne was Immediately

Kingdom then in Naples. The Austrian
officers in command in Naples and its

audiences. The various publick bodies,

addresses, the strongest satisfaction was
expressed at the return-of his Majesty,

A communication deserving of cred

communicated to us, stating that Gen.
Count Langeon, Governour of Odessa,
had called a meeting Of the merchants,
and assured them that they might con-
tlnue their shipments, Notwithstanding
the events in Moldavia. Reports of
troubles in Constantinople, where the
Greeks were said-to have stormed the
arsenal, seems to merit little credit :
but a Greek army appears to be adj

The accounts from ConstantinopIe
say, that the news of the instruction in
Wallachia and Moldavia has caused great
alarm at the government Of the Porte. -
The Grand Vizier has'received from the
Sultan the strictest orders to take imme-
diately the most efficacious measure to
quell the insurgents on both provinces,
and bring them back to their duty.-The
Divan seems tobe assured, that the sovc-
reignty which the Porte possessed over
those countries will be lost.
On the other hand, an alarming 'spir-

whichis one ofthe most important Prov
inces of the Ottoman Empire. Servia,
too, causes some disquietude, notwith.

It's feared that the Servians will not let
