After fomc little altercation, permiiiion was grant ed. In consequence of which, a solemn pro cedi on took place at Port-Royal of the inha bitants, to which the Americans in harbour we:e invited, and requeued to join their flags witii the national one of Frauce.

The rapidity and private manner, in which our beloved President returns to New- York, is another mark of his p otic fling that magnanimity which riles superior to pomp and •fplendour.—Although the tide of gratulatiun which flowed on lnn>* was the pure tide of affectionate gratitude ; and although in the countenance of every one of his icllow-citi zens, ftom Governors, &c. vvho waited at the entrance cf their Hates to meet him, to the humbled citizen, who law him as he pas sed, nothing beamed but love—yet even titefe he hta with as great a degree of delicacy as proj nety would admit, fludiouljy avoided— ati>l in all lus conduit as well as writings, has MKiiicatcd the idea, tint a’l he has dune w~s but a difeh trge of his duty ! 13.

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.
