been together, person unacquainted with she
setuai manner in which the time of the Scs-
sion has been absorbed, would be at n loss to
conjecture how and what was their employ

Bill will bc---and we could mention a
great mass of other business, which might
have been perfected that will also receive
the go-by--and all owing to few restless
individuals, who have made it their study to
oppose every thing that has emanated from
the friends Of the administration for the puf-
pose Of gratifying their own. and the views of
their coadjutors. But at most, tho time will
be short, when ,oe aud hey will know how far
,hoy have succeeded in their wicked designs.
BY the advertisement in our columns Of
to-day it will be seen that proposals will be
received by the Collector Of this port, till
the 10th day Of June, for the erection of a
Beacon CT Light House, on Warwick neck,
about half way between this place and
Providence. A plan Of the proposed build
ing may be seen at the Custom House.

bic national interest. q" ''.'
