MEMOIR OF RHoDE-ISLAND.


On the 9th of November the British Frig-
ate Syren, Of 2S guns, with a Transport
Ship and Schooner, run on shore at Point
Judith, in gale of wind. She sailed as
convoy to about 80 sail Of vessels bound to
Long Island for wood. The Americans
brought two Is Founders to bear on the
frigste, when she surrendered, together
with the other two vessels. lG6 prisoners
were taken and sent to Providence. The
Sunday night following the British boats
from Newport, boarded and set fire TO the
frigate.
This fall such of the inhabitants of New
port as chose to remove to the main were
permitted to do so, with their effects, Tex
cept merchandize,) first leaving their name
with a person appointed by the Gen. for
tba, purpose. Many ayaled themselves of
this liberty and proceeded by water to
Providence.
In December a large fleet Of Men-of- War
and Transports arrived at Newport, expec-
ting to receive on board Gen. Burgoyn's
captured army.

however, requested Mr.. Luletou not to re-
lex IN his endeayors to find him out. But
u year rolled by, and in despair of bringing
the generous unknown to light, Mr.. l.. gave
up his search, after questioning individually
every member Of that department, and in
sertipg advertisements in the papers of tn,
day, mentioning the reward.

: berdegullion has caught. himself again
He takes an extract from the Advocate il
which we stated (the compositor inadver
tently leaving out the word no) that Judge
Smith had doubt but what the observation
imPutedto him was made. In another
part ofour comments it will be seen that
we stated that Judge Smith said he had
no doubt but tcAat the observation imputed
10 h m ras male, as his cert fcate declared.
But we have no objection to the mistakes
having gone forth, as the "speckie ijuggIer"
Torhill in his comments says that Judge
Smith told him that he had doubt about
having made tho observation imputed TO
him. We will re-pubish that part ofthe
Judges certificate, which contradicts the
remarks of GoihilI:
81 do got recollect the particular con.
versatio1 TO which Mr.. Graves refers, but
| have no doubt that the expression i'm
puleu 10 me, was made"
Now it is quite certain that Judge Smith
would not cerAfy to US one thing, and tell
Tothill another. We don't say that this |
"speckled juggler" has lied; yet we have
proved itas decently as if we had made an
express charge. We shall not again be
under the unpleasant necessity of using
Judge Smiths name in connection with this
natter: his certificate fully proves the
,harge we made against TothiIl, that he
believed Slavery TO be great mOrai, social
md political euU. We now leave it to the
'eople todecide, whether men holding such t
octrines, are worthy of their support {

some European dynasty will seize or at

flsal to the customs. He urged the adop
ton ofthc measure, on the ground that il
would assist the banks both ofthe Atlantic
and the Western States, TO resame specie
payments.
Mr.. Calhoun concurred with Mr. Web
ster as to the joint resolution of 1916. II
conferred no discretionary power on the
President of the United States, andno pow
er to make and discrimination between the
different branches of revenue. The Pres
ident had no right, therefore, to issue the
specie circular. For the very reason that
he entertained this opinion, he would not
vote forthis resolution. To pass this res
olution, would be 10 recognise the power
TO abandon to the President high and dan.
gerous power over the currency; just as
much as if we put into the resolution that
the President has the power to collect the
revenue in gold and silver. To get rid Of
this temporary Inconvenience, many had |
voted at the late session for the bill Of the
Senator from Virginia, (Mr. Rives,) and
hat measure, as well as this indirectly con-
Ierred upon the President the power which

'Ie Bank trash Of that day: and that reso-
uttQn having performed its office, ought

obstruction ofthe Act of 1889, which was
ssumed by General Hamilton, and which
'as acquiesced in by Congress, for TWEEN
'-five years, when the resolution Of 1916
