MiLIrAsY VIsIr.-We learn that
the Firs, Company OF Light Infantry, of
Providence. under command Of Capt.
RArHsoNE, will make an excursion 70
this place tomorrow in the Steamboat
Providence. We believe it has been
customary on such occasions, to make
some preparations for the honorable re-
ceplion oi such yisitants, and we doubt
not those whose province it is to attend
to these matters, will make suitable ar
rangements OIL the occasion.
Since writing the above we learn that
the Newport Independent Volunteers.
under Maj. HELME, will parade on the
occasion. to receive and honor their
brother soldiers.
