man thereof, reported the following, which
were read and adopted.
The cautious wisdom which distinguished
the trainers OF the Constitution of the 1.
States. is s,riking!v manifested in the re-
servo with which that instrument alludes
to the existence of domestic servitude among
US. Although the topic was necessarily
nrcscrtcd 70 their view, and exerted an
imoo.tan. influence on several articles Of
;hc compact, the term slave or slavery no
where occurs.
The apporionmcnt Of representatives

according to the population of the States
respectively, of adding to the whole number
of free persons, including those bound to
service for a term of years, and excluding

LIFE N NEW ORIr,ys short time

LIFE IN New ORLEANs.-A short time
since two men shot Que another down in
one Of our bar rooms, one ofwhom died in-
sanity, and the other, though alive, is under
arrest on a charge Of murder. A little
more than week back, a negro was hung
for stabblng Two or three men. A day or
two after one or two infants were found mur.
dc.cd, there was every reason to believe, bv
their own mothers. Last week We had to
chronicle brutal and bloody murder com.
mitted in the heart ofour city the very next
day a murder trial was commenced in our
crimina! court !; the day ensuing this. we
published the particulars Of Harris murder.
The day aftcr that, Tibbe;ts was hung
for attempting to commit murder; the mex,
day again we had to publish murder com.
mi,tcd by tao Spaniards at the I.ake-this
was on Friday last. On Sunday We pub.
ishcd the account Of another murder COM
mit:ed by the Italian, Gregorio. On Mon
day, another murder was committed, and
the murderer lodged in Jail. On tuesday
morning another man was stabbed and rob.
bed, and is not likely 10 recover, but the as.
sassin escaped. The same day, Reynolds,
who killed Barre, shot himscfin prison. On
Wednesday. another person, Mr.. Nicolet,
blew Oh. his brains. Yes crday, the unfor.
tunaic George Clement destroyed hinsclfin

alogue we have to add that of the death of
two brothers who destroyed themselves

SEIZURE OF HIS BRlTANNIc MAJEsrY's
SLoop LEvERET.-The Leyeret, ten gun
brig, commanded by Captain Bosanquet,
beng in the Mozambique channel in the
carly part oy December last, heard that
large SLAYER had JUS, arrived on the coast,
and on the 25th of that monh discovered
her lying at anchor in small bay.
The SLAYER refusing 10 hold communi.
cation with the brig, all action commenced.
So desperate was the resistance tho SLAYER
made, that the Leverct hauled off
twice to repair damages aud at length, after
having one man killed, and five or six
wounded, among whom was her master,
succeeded in taking possession OF her.
The exact loss Of the SLAYER, which
mounted twenty seven guns, and carried
70 or 80 men, was not mentioned, but
must have been considerable. A large
quantity of dollars, intended for the Pur-
chase Of slaves, was lound and removed TO
the Levcrc., which proceeded to Portu-
eucse settlement near Mozambique.
The governor of this P lace demanded
that the SLAYER should be given up, which
being refused by Captain Bosanquet a
large battery under which the Leveret lay,
suddenly opened upon her, and obliged her
to haul down her colours. Immediate
possesson was taken by the Portuguese,
of the Leverct and SLAYER, and the prize
dollars removed to the fort. After holding
possession of the Leverct eight days, she
was delivered up, and Captain Bosanquet
immediately returned 10 simon's Bay. The
monentthc Thalia arrived (and she was
daily cxpectcd) Admiral Campbell intended
to proceed to the Mozambique with all tho
SQUADRON he could muster, and little DOUBT
is entertained, by those who know The de-
cided character of the admiral, that ample
reprisals will be made for this unpre,c2e'
dcinted insult on the English Flag.-A0'

GENERAL BANK BILL.

The bill to establish general regula.
hons for the Incorporation of Banks &C.
cupied the chief part of the time of the
House Of Delegates, in committee of the
whole. on Monday, Tuesday aud Wed.
nesday of last week. A number of a
mendments were proposed, and consid-
cradle discussion occurred upon them,
but none Of material consequence were
adopted. The bill had been carefully
framed, and provides all the checks
which could reasonably be imposed for
the preservation of the soundness of the
Banks and the purity of their admins
tration. A disposition was indicated to
restrict the issuing of notes of less de-
nomination than ten dollars, in order, as
was avowed, to infuse into the currency
due proportion of gold but few seem
ed prepared to give to the restriction a
present operation. The bill as it was
reported from the select committee re-.
served to the Legislature the right at a.
ny time of prohibiting the issuing Of
notes under ten dollars, and nothing
more than this can meet the sanction of
the present General Assembly Every
individual Of ordinary reflection and in.
telligence must be satisfied that such a
measure, under existing circumstances
would be eminently mischievous and
embarrassing to the community. There
is not gold C in enough in the country to
supply the place of the small notes, and
ifthere we e, there are no certain means
of bringing it into circulation. 1t is
said moreover. that its consumption By
the workers in gold has been for some
time fully equal 10 the coinage at the
mint-so that any calculation as to the
supply based upon the amount which
has been coined would be utterly falla-
cious.
The bill has passed through the Com
nittee, and is now in the hands of the
House.
