TO the expcdiency of providing in the consttu-

terthe expiration of the legislative year in

Some little discussion arose upon the man.
ner in which this resolution should be disposed
of, and it was finally laid on the table till to-
morrow.
The Convention then adjourned till o'clock
r. NJ. ofto-morrow, in order to give the pre-

The Boston Gazette observes, Z" We under
stand the keel Of national ship is nearly ready
to be laid at the Navy Yard in Philadelphia,
which is expected to be the largest armed
ship in the world, by having three entire tiers
ofguns, besides those on the quarter deck and
forecastle-in all 40 guns"
This ship is intended, no doubt, TO match the
Merry-denny- Dover" and we dare say we
shall have descriptions of her from England
equal to the one given of the steam frigate,
AHA" The Devil" There are various ac-
counts of this ship. Some say she is to carry
$50, and some 500 guns. All we can say is,
the more the better, if there is only room
enough for her tack in the Atlantic ocean be-
tween Beachy Head and Cape Cod. 1t is said
we are about building Schooner to reach from
our owncoast to the coast of Africa, forthcpur-
pose ofsuppressing the Slave Trade. This, in
deed, would berealizing Mr.. Macon's sarcasm,
lately alluded to by the Georgia writers, about
the powers of Congress being so interpreted or
enlarged by construction as to cover Africa"

Boston, Sept AIR. Gplle yesterday
made his Tronautic excursion according to his
engagement The weather was little I'M
promising, and some doubt existed during a
part OF the day whether IL would be able TO
ascend, and IN consequence, we believe, little
delay occurredln the filing of the balloon. But
at 40 minutes after o'clock, the small balloon
was despatched, to give notice that tile large
one was filled, and to indicate the course it
would pursue. la five minutes more the car
was attached, the 9ronaut assembled it, and it
immediately mounted TO great height, sailing
IN North Westerly course from Washington
Gardens across the common over the house
p AS he assembled, he put out two flags, and
waived them over the heads of the assembled
multitude. Mr.. Guile exhibited during the
preparation, and at the moment OF ascent, d
perlectsell possession. large crowd ofspec-
tators witnessed the spectacle and testified not
only the most perfect satisfaction, but Il high
degree of qualification. We are sorry to say
that the number of spectators in the Garden
eid not appear tn be sufficient TO indemnify
nm Tor the expenses of the preparation.
Soonafter Mr. Gulle's ascent, a slight Show
er OF rain came on, which induced him to
shorten his excursion. While the balloon was
sun IN sight of many of the spectators, it was
observed to descend rapidly, and to land in
the western part of Charlestown. Mr.. Guile
allghted In d field near the Derby Farm with
out difficulty, and without damage to his bal
loon, alter "a voyage of about three miles, and
ne immediately returned to town.
we understand that Mr. G. intends to make
second ascension in a few days, and will DIES
cend inhis parachute, provided sufficientencou
ragement IS offered. a subscription to re-
1nunerate him, was commenced last evening
at Merchants Hall, and will remain there for
signatures this morning, after which it will
be circulated for further patronage.

Captain Johnson, IS days from St. Salvador
at Quarantine yesterday, reports that few
DAYS previous to his sailing, the Brazilians
made an unsuccessful attempt to declare them
selves independent Great dstrust and suspi-
cion prevailed, and the European Portuguese
were waiting with the greatest anxiety for
the arrival OF 5000 troops expected from Lis

We learn, says the Boston Patriot, that or
se's have been received from Washington to
lit for sea the U. S. brig SPARK, now at the
navy yard Charlestown. She is supposed to
be destined for the Coast of Africa. The re-
cent re-capturcs of the prizes made on the
coast by the Alligator seems to prove pretty
conclusiyely, that the assistance of larger YES
sells than schoOners, is demanded for the sup
preston of Stare trading. One or two YES
sells of the size of the Spark will be found very
useful.
