Revolutionary ReminiScence.-The fol-
lowing is an extract Of letter from the
late Hon. Judge Peters to Col. John
Trumbull, respecting the late Gen. Thos.
Robinson, of Naaman's Creek, Delaware.
A day or two previous to the battle of
Brandywine, he (Col. +. Robinson) was
selected by General Washington to COM
mand n picked corps of two hundred and
fifty men, well officcrcd, with orders TO
rcconnoitre and procure intelligence Of
the march and position Of the enemy,
which could not be obtained by other
means in II disalIccted part of the coun-
try. lie advanced with all the precau-
ton possible, but approached too near its
main body, or strong advance, sendirg
off light horscmcn ire qucntly, with inior-
nation, to the General through both night
and day. AT length he was pressed on,
and was obliged to sustain a powerful
attack. lie drew up his command be-
hind the wall Of burial ground, and
coolly waiting the onset, reserved his
fire til the enemy was within 80 yards.
lie then gave well directed discharge,
and moved down great numbers of the
foe.
Il, But he met with a severe retaliation
for n strong corps was detached to inter
t cept him, and through superior number
, he had to cut his way. His color wa
taken, or nearly so, but rescued by unex
=, amplcd prowess in himself and some o
/, his detachment. In this struggle, he re
ccivcd wound, of which, though no
= slight, he was unconscious, till he begai
to bear off the trophy. Perrarios causu
i per tot disc,imina re,um, he brought OF
the remnant of his brave but uniortunat'
corps. lie returned to our army with on
ly thirty Of his companions. 1hc Gene
= ra's anxicties were highly wrought up
and he waited on the bank Of the Bran
dywine, viewing with poignant sollcitud
the passage OF the small remains OF h
chosen detachment, wading more tha
knee deep through the stream. Fc
. Robinson he always had personal e'
. teen; but the fate OF his gallant associate
the most deeply affected his sensibiltie:
You know how magnanlmously the Ger

stream, drew up in contact with ROBIN

J" that he was more overcome by this III
on expected reception, than by all the to'
and dangers he had passed. Bleedln
with wounds, almost PROSTATE with 4
tigue, and nearly incapable before tn
to sit on his horse, he with difiicul

. New ELEcTIov.-The people having
failed to elect a Governor, 1t. Governor
and Senators agreeable to the provisions
of the Charter, it will by law devoIve on
the House Of Representatives as soon as
duly organized to order new election on
a given day, not more than thirty nor less
than ten days from the time of making
such order. When the election is order
ed, it becomes the duty of the Speaker
Immediately to issue his warrant to each
Town Clerk requiring them to warn the
freemen accordingly. He is also requir-
cd to cause the order of the House to be
published in newspaper in each county
where a newspaper is printed, at least ten
days before the time appointed for such
Town Meeting.

1t will be seen by the above that by
the interference Of the anti ma sonic tick
ct, and the negligence of the National
Republican party, no choice for Gov
ernor, sc. has been effected. The
Jackson and anti-masonic candidate for
General Ire asurer, it i, thought, is elect
ed by small majority. Both those par
tics dsclaim any UNION between them in
this election. If Mr. Sterne is elected,
to whom we ask, is he indebted for his
election, if not to the united cooperation
of both those parties' The next trial will
prove more fully whether any union ex-
lists between them or not AT any rate
the National Republicans have nothing
to fear if they but do their duty.
A large majority Of the Representa-
tives elected to the General Assembly,
are National Republicans, which shows
that no change of political sentiment has
taken place in this State within the past
year.

ton law, passed at the last session of the
General Assembly, the government Of
Rhode-Isand would on the first Wednes-
day of May next, stop, and expire;-we
should then have had no judiciary-no
justices Of the peace-no sheriffs-no
jailers, no power to decide legal contro-
versies, or pass upon criminal offences,
and no executive power in the State
Was this thing desirable to the people Of
this State' Would their rights and inter-
ests have been safe, without the provi-
sons of that law in the event which has
now happcned' The people will now
see the futility of their opponents argu-
ments, and the wickedness of the clamor
which the Jackson party have raised a
gainst the passage of that law. BY the
provision of that law, in the contingency
which has now actually happened, the
present Governor and Senate, that is the
government which the people constituted
last year, are continued only THIRTY days
at longest, for the purpose of giving the
people an opportunity of having another
election, and of making choice of Gov
ernor and Senate. The assembly will
therefore, convene in Newport, on the
first Wednesday Of May, countthe votes,
and if there is no election, as there prob
ably is not, order new election to be
had by the people in the shortest practi-
cable time. No other business will prob
ably be done. No officers will probably
be elected, but merely continued for twen-
ty or thirty days, within which new e.
lection will be had, at which the people
will undoubtedly make choice. 1t is
not probable that at the next trial, there
will be more than TWO proxes-the Clay
and Jackson proxies; and there can be no
doubt that the Clay prox will, on the next
trial, be elected by a very large major
ity. 1t is not at all probable, that the
anti-masons now they have asccrtained
the amount of their number, will longer
persist in running n prox, for the only
purpose for which they can present one,
viz: to endeavor to prevent an election,
and keep the State in commotion during
the whole year. ! say it is not probable
they will take course, SO injurious to
the interests of the State, and so little
likely to advance them in the good opin-
ion of the people Of Rhode Island If
the more violent of that party should be
so unwise as to persist in running prox
for the purpose of endeavoring to defeat
an election at the next trial, new case
will be presented to conscientious anti
masons, whether they will, when there
can be not the least probability of benefit
ting themselves, or of electing their own
candidates, still persist in running prox
with the sole view of causing confusion
and excitement in the State during the
whole year? do not believe that there
would be found many ofthc anti-masonic
party, who would on such state of facts,
unite in such a cause. We know many
of that party, who have declared that
they will not join any set of men in ac-
complshing such an object. Ibid.

Saturday April 14.-The Senate was

HoUsE.-The committee on the Judi
ciary was instructed to enquire and re-
port on the expediency of giving further
security to property in copy rights, by
providing for transfers or assignments
thereof.
The Speaker laid before the House a
letter from the Hon. VIM. Stanberry, of

/ After the letter had been read, Mr..
Vance offered the following resolution:
Resolred, That the Speaker do issue his
warrant, directed to the Sergeant at Arms
attending the House, commanding him
to take into custody, wherever to be
found, the body of Samuel Houston, and
the same, in his custody, to keep, sub
ject to the further orders and discretion
of this House.
! After a long debate, the resolution
was adopted, by vote of l45 to 25.

Forsyth, from the committee on Foreign
Relations, reported bill to exempt YES
sells coming from Portugal from duties on
tonnage, which was read twice and laid
on the table. The bill to extend the ben
eft Of vaccination to the Indians, was or
dered to third reading. MIR. Clay from
the Committee on Manufactures, made
report on the subject of the Public
Lands, accompanied by bill to appro-
pirate, for limited time, the proceeds Of
the public lands. There was an opposi-
tion made to the second reading Of this
bill oy Mr.. Benton; when on motion of
Mr.. Smith, for the purpose Of taking up
the appropriation bill, the bill just report
ed was ordered to lie on the table. Mr..
Clay then moved the printing Of the bill
and report, and to print 5000 extra copies
MIR. Chalmers moved 5000. This mo-
ton led to a discussion. Mr.. Smith also
moved to lay this motion on the table,

This is the more satisfactory as from the
language of the Secretary of the Navy,
in his report at the commenc cement of the
session, there was too much reason to
fear that the plan Of establishing Naval
Depot in Rhode-Island, was postponed
indie efnitely.

NAVAL DEPoT.-It will be recollected
by our readers, that early in the present
session Of Congress a resolution was a
dopted, at the suggestion of MIR ROBBINS,
of this State, directing the Committee on
Naval Affairs in the Senate to enquire
into the expediency of establishing a Ma
val Depot within the waters of Nara
gansett Bay, in conformity to the views
the Board of Navy Commissioners, as
expressed in their reports of Dec. 1929
and 80. The committee accordingly
attended to the inquiry, and after apply
ing to the Department for the necessary
estimates, determined to recommend an
appropriation of $4,000 the present year,
for minute and thorough survey of the
Bay, with a view to this object. The
plan is, we understand, to ascertain the
precise point where Depot can be To-
Gated in our waters to the most advan-
tage, not only for the purposes of ngress
and egress, but for its permanent securi-
~ in period of war-and at the same
time to ascertain the probable expense Of
the entire establishment. On these
points the Commissioners are anxious it
is said, for more minute and satisfactory
survey than has been hitherto made, and
accordingly concurred in the proprieiy of
the course which the committee recon-
mended. We are glad to learn by let
ters from Washington, that the above ap-
,ror rriation Of 5000 dollars, has been a
reed to 10 the Senate, and in all proba-
,ility will be concurred in by the House.
