CONSTITUTION OF VERMONT. The coun-
Gil OF Censors of Vermont CHOSEN in March
last, has had two sessions, one at Montpe-
lleT, and the other at Burlington. They
have agreed UNANIMOUSLY on certain arti-
cles OF amendment, which they have pub
lished, with an address to the people, and
have also called convention, to be held at
Montpelier on the Goth of June next. for
the purpose Of considering the proposed
amendments, and adopting them, or such
part of them, as they may see fit. The
Delegates to the convention are to be chos-
en- on the 10Th day of June next, in the
same manner as Representatives to the
General Assembly are chosen.
The purport of the amendments proposed
is, that the Legislative powers of the state
shall be exercised by Senate and House
of Representatives, the two bodies Jointly
to be styled the General Assembly. The
Senate is to be composed of twenty eight
Senators, to be chosen by Counties, and to
be apportioned to the several counties, ac-
cordlng to the population, as ascertained
by the United States census-each county,
however, to have one Senator. Until a
new appol comment, to be made after the
next census, Bennington county is to have
two senators, Windham three, Rutland
three, Windsor four, Addison two, Orange
three, Washington two, Chittenden two,
Caledonia two, Franklin two, Orleans one,
Essex one, and Grand Isle one. Electors
on the first Tuesday of September annually
to vote for the number of Senators to which
the county is entitled, and plurality of
votes to constitute choice. Senators re-

sence, or in case he is called to exercise
the duties of Governor, the Senate to APP

The executive power is to he exercised
by the Governor, who is to have all the
powers now vested in the Governor and
Council, except such as are transferred to
the Senate. Bills passed by the two
Houses must be sent to the Governor for
his signature, and if not approved by him
may be returned within five days, with his
objections, in which case they must be re-
considered, and again passed by majority,
by both Houses, or they do not become
laws.
A section is also proposed to settle
disputed question, providing that no person
who is not already freeman of the state,
shall he entitled to exercise the privileges
of freeman, unless a natural born citizen
of the United States, or naturalized agreea-
bly, to the acts of Congress.

NAvAR1N. The harbor of Navarin lies

NAvARIN. The harbor of Navarin lies
at the southwest corner of the Morea. 1t
is of a roLndish form, with an island lying
across the mouth of it. The entrance is
by the south end of the island, where the
passage is 600 yards wide the north en-
trance is too shallow for large vessels
The island is two miles long, and quarter
of mile broad. The basin is six miles in
circumference. The port of Navarin is
the ancient harbor Pylus. In the seventh
year of the Peloponnessian war, Demos
themes, the Athenian General, seized and
fortified Pylus. A Spartan army immedi-
ately besieged him there, and part of them
passed over to the island then called
Sphacteria, for the purpose of blockading
him, while the fleet watched the entrances
OF the harbor. An Athenian feet, at last,
entering the harbor, by both mouths, at
tackled the Spartan feet lying within, and
destroyed the whole of it. The Spartans
on the island, being cut off from all assist
ance, surrendered prisoners at discretion
to the Athenians. The late battle was
fought on the anniversary of the great bat
tie of Salamis, wherein the Greeks defeat
ed the Persian fleet, on the Goth of Octo-
Der, 48O, B. c. 1906 years ago. May we
indulge the hope that this battle is an omen
of an equally happy and glorious deliver
ance for Greece?

"HAvRE. November Is, 1927.
The papers give you an account of the
affair at Navarin, which think will lead
to much more than some Of the parties
themselves expected, or can have any wish
for.
We learn to-day from Paris, that the
ambassadors at Constantinople have got off
in French frigate. 1t is highly probable
that the Janissaries will soon regain their
power and despatch the Sultan. In fact,
we have every reason to expect great
events"

CRUELTY OF THE BURMESE. The fol-
lowing account respecting the late defeat
ofthe Taliens, before Rangoon, appears in
the Calcutta papers, and it exhibits fright
full picture of Burman conquest.
"We had hoped that the miseries more
Immediately attendant on the late war with
Ava would prove ultimately conducive. to
the happiness and Improvement of that part
OF the eastern worldly bringing it into more
close contact with European civilization ;
but we regret to say, that since our troops
were withdrawn from Rangoon, cruelties of
the most enormous nature have been perpe-
trated by the Burmese on the Peguers. En-
couraged by the success of the British
arms, and perhaps misconceiving some acts
OF professions of the British authorities,
the Peguers were led to attempt throwing
off the Burman yoke. In this attempt they
have failed; and at the date of our last
advices, were paying the penalty of their
revolt 1t is not easy to imagine the eX
tent OF the crueltyto which they have been
exposed. The lower classes are collected
together, at a little distance from Rangoon,
drawn up in lines, amounting sometimes to
hundred, with their arms pinioned behind
them, and in this situation they are literal
ly hacked and hewed to pieces by the Bur
mese. Such Of them as are of more con-
sequence, or have become chiefs. in these
days of war and invasion, are brought to
Rangoon, and executed. Their heads are
taken off, and piece of wood driven
through the mouth fixes them to the ground
Ten or twelve wretched Peguers were to
be seen almost every other evening in this
horrible state, beyond the stockade at
Rangoon. Some thousands had attempted
an escape across an arm of the sea, to
Amherst Town, and hundreds had per-
ished."

The Paris Journal des Debats states,
that Count Capo d'Istria, the new PEesi-
dent of Greece, has given up his private
fortune to the public cause, and procured
small loan for the treasury, which would
answer immediate exigencies. His letter
on the subject breathes the most generous
devotion.
On the 18th of October the Austrian, ad-
miral Dandolo presented himself before
the harbor of Spezzia, and claimed four
Austrian vessels which had been captured
by the Greeks for violation of their
blockade. When it was replied that the
matter would be submitted to the Greek
government, he rejoined that he knew no
such government. After Selling, on the
18th, the four vessels, he sailed in upon
the Greek vessels in the harbor, cannonad-
ed and tore them in pieces, killed portion
of their crews, and did much damage on
shore. There is an official report from
Spezzia, in the Paris newspapers, of this
enormous outrage.
