The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1838-10-24

The General Assembly met at Newport,
(for the first time after the evacustion,) in
September 1850, in the Redwood Library
building, as appears by their vote of adjourn
that the Governor and Upper House, met al
the house west of the Library, now owned
by Mr.. Wing Spooner.
A soldier belonging to Col. Greene's
Regiment was shot for deserion, on Rhode
Island, Sept. 18th, 1850.
On the 9th o: October mock battle
was fought, on Rhode-lsland, between a
detachment of the French troops and Col.
Christopher GreeRe's Continental regiment,
which afforded much pleasure and satisfac-
tion 10 "A numerous collection of spectators" "
| A party of the Oneida Indians made a
visit to Newpor, for the purpose Of seeing
the French General and Admiral. Their
reception was polite and friendly. The
General Assembly voted to pay the expenses
of these Indians to and from Newport
"Thc Chevalier de Ternay, commander
of his most Christian Majesty's fleet in the
American seas" died suddenly at Newport
on Friday, December 22d, 1850.
Tradition says that it was rumored, AT
the time, that he fell in a duel with a Lieu
tenant of the French Navy; n circumstance
which the French endeayored To conceal,
out of regard to their naval commander /;
he having SO far demeaned himself as to
fight with one so much beneath his own
rank.
His remains were taken from the house
where he had resided, on the Point, (now
owned by the Hon. VIM. Hunter,) and in
tered on the north side of Trinity Church
yard, about half way between the gate and
Spring-street.
A few years after the war, a marble mon
umeut was sent from France, to the Con-
sui here, to be erected to his memory. The
French Consul caused a small stone build
ing to be erected over tho grave, sufficiently
large to place the monument on one side
and it was accordingly placed on the west
side of the building; but n number of years
alterward, while the French frigate Madusa
lay at Newport, the officers objected to tho
manner Of placing the monument, and di-
-ecled that the building should be denolish-
ed and the monument placed against the
north side of the body of the church, which
was done; where it still remains.

The French fleet at Newport continued
to be bockaded by the British; the blocka-
ding squadron rendezvoused at Gardner's
Bay, Long Island) and kept few ships
constantly upon the look out off the harbor ;
but from the nature of the port, with its
several outlets, together with other difficult
ties which an enemy's squadron must al-
ways be subjected to in blockadIng this har-
bor-,he French squadron always found
means TO evade, at times, the blocking sqa-
drons of the enemy, and to depart, and ar
rive, even with their prizes.

BE SHORT
THE BEGINNING oP SIN.
TINE IS PRECIOUS.

James Stevens and Thomas Wilson were
cousins, and as they had been schoo'iellows
for many years, and spent the greater part
of their time together, they we're much at,
tached 10 each other, though they were OF
very different dispositions. Stevens had
been steady from scllool. boy : his parents
were poor, but they brought up their son 10
fear God, well knowing that, " the fear OF
the Lord is better than riches" In the
house of The righteous is much treasure,
but in the revenues the wicked is trouble.
Wilson was very thoughtless, and did not
like to be restrained in his pleasures. tie
was hard to be convinced, and liked TO have
his own way a: all times. When at school
he got many task for going beyond the
boundary of the play ground always think
ing that he could return before the school,
bell would ring. When he became a
young man, he INDUCED in many things
that we're wrong, persuadin5 himself that
tr;llng errors were of no consequence, and
tia, he could leave off bad habit any time
Wouldst thou from evil ways be freed,
From sins contagion spotless be,
Look at first upon the little seed,
And then upon the spreading tree.
"Thc smallest sin within thy heart,
unrcslraIned by grace divine,
VIII widely spread through every part,
And all thy faculties entwine.'
Stevens saw with concern that his cou.
sin was going farther and further, from
the right way ye, in spite ofall he couli
say, Wilson would spend an hour or .so
an evening with bis friends at the tavern.
"Let every man look to himselg' he
would soy;" if others get t'psy, never
drink more than does me good. Why |
soma Of nv neighbours are there every |
night, and half the day 100 ;/while | 80 |
but a time or two in whole yEeek."
Things went on in tbisfway for some
time, and Wilson was sehom seen a,;cn-
ding Gods house. :. Ernp"T"& on" day
