N EW.'FORT, (R. I.) Othber 22.
The Hon. the General Affembiv of this
state, in pursuance of their adjournment, con-*
ve- ed at East Greenwich the lad week. Th;3
meeting having taken place for the purpose of
deciding on a bill introduced at the former
fetfion, for suspending the operation of the
tender law, and providing a fubdi.ute for a
more equitable discharge of debts. This bu
finels was taken up soon-aster the two houses
were formed, and was, by the agreement of
all parties, referred to a committee of ten,
appointed for this purpose, and confiding of
members from the different comities The
committee were soon agreed on the principles
of a bill, agreeably to which a draught was
made and reported to the house on Friday
morning—home amendments were then pro
posed and acceded to, and on the quedion for
its palling into a law, the yeas and nays were
taken, and there were
Yeas zt —Nays 13.
The bill having palled in the lower, was
sent to the upper house, and was there con
curred with, there being only one dillimrient
in that house.
This bill repeals so much of the emitting
aft, as makes the paper money a tender ac
par. It directs all judgments to be entered
up in gold or fiiver, and authoiifes a discharge
of them with real eflate, of not less value than
401. or certain enumerated articles of person
al edate, gold or fiiver, or paper money at
the rate of fifteen of paper for one of fiiver.
The articles of country produce are generally
valued, and though it may be considered as
beyond the present calh price, yet he allow
ances are luch as will in many inffances in
duce an amicable accommodation of debts.
In case of any difpuie refpe&ing the quality,
(the ad providing that they mud be good and
merchantable) an infpettor is appointed in
each town tt> decide it, and in tenders of
real edate or articles not valued, in case of a
disagreement as to their value, the parties are
each to appoint one apprailer, and the ne3feft
judge of any of the courts, the third, if ne
cessary.
To remove all ground of future uneafiuefa,
the bill has provided for a discharge of the
mortgages given the date for the money bor
rowed at its firft emission, either with the
bills emitted or gold orlilver, estimating one
fiiver dollar of the'value of fifteen of paper.
This ciaule met with opposition from some
who were in favor of the tender. They also
contended for the insertion of a clause which
would authorife the appraisers to enquire into
the consideration of debts, and give a power
to liquidate the demands, but this was reject
ed by a very large majority—»n the affirma
tive on the bill, were united the late minori
ty and the" mod iuducntial of the late majo
rity—the bufinels was conduced with great
candour and coolness, an .l it is hoped and be
lieved, that ihedecifion will prove highly be
nJficial to the date. —A letter was ieceivecl
from the Prelideut of the United States, in
doling the proposed amendments to the new
conditution—thefe were referred to the house,
to be taken into consideration when they
ihould convene, for the purpose of inftruCf
ing their deputies on the fubjcc't of calling a
convention.
An ad was passed repealing the ad limit
ing the time of commencement of personal
actions.
On Saturday the Assembly finidied their
bnfinefs—the fall fedions will commence on
Monday next, when the new house attends.
