Thursday, r. NJ, May, 49,
The men ehtrenched upon the hill, remained peace
ably during the night Ia the morning, about day
breat three guns were discharged They were under
the commend Of a man named Wolf, from Uxbridge,
who arrived here on Wednesday. Their position was
from which they could do no injury. II was ca
silly commanded, from the hills the other side OF
the Cove and the authorities contented themselves
with taking measures TO prevent them from doing any
mischief feeling assured that one night would cool
their courage. Ia the morning, the guns OF the Ar
tllery company were brought TO their armory. They
were loaded TO within foot Of the muzzle, with
scraps Of boiler-iron, spikes &C. The other pieces
were taken possession Of by the Quarterrnaster
General and carried 10 the arsenal and the place en-
tifely abandoned.
report was current this morning that Dorr was
ia Bellingham, Mas about three miles from Woon-
socket and that he was raising recruits We think it
very probable that he is there, but very improbable
that he is raising recruits He would hardly dare to
show himself 10 his requisition will be,
or has been, sent for him. He must leave the coun-
try, II he escapes.

Adutant General of Rhode Island
We are glad to the following paragraph in tn
