ticut. Inc New York fleblan OF the
lst inst, says it has been informed by a
private correspondent, that Gov. Cleve-
land has decided to give up Gov. Dorr
to the Charter authorities of Rhode ISL
and. About 300 Suffrage men have
been taken prisoners, and are now con-
fined in Providence. The cowardly
leaders who accepted Office under the
Peoples Constitution and swore to de-
fend it, again deserted their Chief Ma
gistrate in the hour of danger; and prov
ed traitors to the cause of human rights,
regardless Of their own solemn obliga-
tons. In Consequence of the treachery
of those leaders, Gov. Dorr was compel
led to abandon the attempt to maintain
the Peoples Government, and obliged to
take refuge in another State.
The Suffrage party are now subject to
the tender mercies Of the Aristocrats of
the State, and if they do not obtain their
rights for the next half century, they
must thank their own cowardice and
treachery for the evils under which they
will have to groan. After they adopted a
Constitution and organized a Government
under it, their duty was clear. They
were bound to protect it. They have
refused to do SO, and must abide the con-
sequences.
The U. S. Brig Oregon of the Explo-
ring Expedition arrived at New York on
the Both ult. She left Rio Janeiro on
the 22d of May last. a day or two be-
fore she sailed, two thousand troops left
Rio for the Port of Santo, to suppress a
political disturbance which had broken
out in the province of st. Pauls. A re-
port was current in Rio, that the Buenos
Aryean Admiral, Brown, had deserted
Rosas with his fleet, and gone over to the
Montevidians. There was every reason
TO believe it well founded.
We give below a copy of the Appor-
tionmcnt Bill, (taken from the Missouri
Reporter, as it past the two Houses of

dent has given it his signature, accom-
panied with his reasons for so doing.
This circumstance seems to have created
some excitement in the House, as Mr..
Adams made a motion 10 refer the Mes
sage to a select committee, withp over to
send for per sons and papers.
