A discussion took place in the Legis-
lature list week on a motion 10 recon
slider the vote liberating Frances Leach,
convict, which it was thought would lead
to some important disclosures concerning
the Avery affair. Nothing satisfactory,
however, was shown to impIicate her in
that melancholy tragedy, and the prayer

We farther learn that the disposable

to Indian Disturbances.
We understand that such is the .a:kcd

by the Government Official, that there is

The National intelligencer Of Saturday
contains the following article on the proffered
mediation Of England.
"Our readers will have heard, with great
interest, the rumor that dispatches lately
brought to the British Charge fAffaires by a

the Government Of Great Britain between the
United States and France, in the existing
dispute between them. 1t gives us pleasure

made, by magnaniInous interpostion on the

controversy Which unhappily exists between

GENERAL AssEMBLY.-By the Provi-
dence Journal of esterday, (from which
we have copied our general account OF
the proceedings Of the Legislature,) we
perceive that the Assembly are actively
engaged in disposing of the business be-
fore them. Oftheir doings OIL Tuesday,
we are only able to extract the following
to-day:
Mr.. b. Hazard laid on the table bill
for appointing Fire Engine Companies.
Mr.. Iilinghast called up his resolu-
ton instructing our Senators, and re.
questing our Representatives in Con-
gress to procure the passage Of an act,
apportioning the avails of the sales of the
United States public lands among the
States.
MIR. Brayion offered an amendment to
this resolution substituting for it, after the
cnacting clause, that the surplus funds
of the u States be appropriated to the
building of forts, and Notifications for the
national defence. A resolution was read,
which had been Just sent down from the
Senate, declaring that the public lands
are the common property ofall the States
in the Union, and not Of the States only
in which they lie, that a distribution Of
the proceeds ought 10 be made among
the several States, to cease OH the break
ing out Of war, to be appropriated at the
will and for the benefit OF the States; and
instructing our Senators and requesting
our Representatives in Congress to use
their utmost exerlions, to procure the
passage in Congress-, of bill similar to
that formerly offered by Henry Clay.
On motion, both the above resolutions
from the Senate, and the resolution pend
ing in the House, with Mr.. Brayton's
amendment, were all referred TO Messrs.
Hazard, Tillinghast, Taylor, james and
D'WolC.
Mr.. .7i,ceN offered a bill providing for
FIVE Judges, the Chief Justice to have a
salary Of $500 u year, and the other
Judges $1,000 each. Each Court of
Common Pleas to be holden by one Of
the five Judges, and the Supreme Court
by the whole five, and also providing for
the payment of the above salaries by fees
to be paid into the State Treasury by the
parties to the suits brought into the
Courts.
Mr.. DWoT called up his resolution
for a Committee to report an expression
of the views of this General Assembly
on the momentous subject Of peace or
war. He advocated his resolution by
several judicious and pertinent remarks,
after which it was referred to Messrs ID.
Wolf, Hazard and Curtis, to report tOI
this House on the subject as soon as
may be.
The petition of VIM. Ellery aud 9TH
ers, for an act Of incorporation Of Uni
tartan Church and Society, in Newport,
was granted, and the act was passed.
Mr.. Hors,oell, from Newport, called
up the petition Of Ann p. Townsend for
compensation for so feet Of land, being
part of a square lot belonging to the
petitioner, and for injury done to the lot.
Accompanying this petition was read an
appraisal Of the damage by three men at
225 dollars, and an eloquent letter of
Mrs. Townsend addressed the General
Assembly on this subject.
After considerable discussion, a reso-
luton passed for paying the sum Of S2o5,
being the amount claimed.
The House adjourned to 10 o'clock
on Wednesday.

the last Tuesday of February 1727-S.
An act passed further to encourage the
raising of hemp, by bounty of sixpence

pertaining the bounds and limits of each

said line between the two Colonies, with
such commissioners as are, or shall be ap-
appointed, on the behalf of Connecticut, to

TO erect and make boundaries and monu-
|ments for the more plain and easy ascertain

And be it further eudcfed, That if no
