Hhnrtt Island.
Tho news from Rhode Island yet consists
cnicfly of rumors mid speculations. Hut tlij
aro, if any thing ; less favorable ti the main
tenance uflaw and order tli.ii ypstr-rday. The
correspondent of a morning contemporary, evi
dently n sympathiaitr with tlie revolutionists,
writes ns follows:
; Phovidknce, Aril ?.
'As respects tlio slate of parties here, h looks
vrry dark. There is n guard of thirty men
placed at the arsenal, nnd the military comyia
nies hive been -overhauled by the (lovrnmr.
The question vs put to thern. Vill you
support tho laws of Rhode Island .?" They
wanted it quaiified so ns to pledge them to stip
port nil laws but the ltrtc net, but he would not
vary it. Of flu infantry 17 voted to do it, of
the artillery 11; marieo artillery not known;
Woonsockot Co. none."
"John Whipple has gone 1o Washington lo

on the other side in the Mine car. The free
HifFWigos nre wide awnke ; one nmn lias pro

with one apiece, and ten others 1o-d.iy. They
have great meetings in the peveral words
this evening. There will be fighting if the
JaiulliohU ti attempt to put the obnoxious law

iinliuii, but if elected by a heavy vote, they
xull stand and meet the consequences. The
ieople will shield them irom the treason law,
mid then we idiall come to bloodshed, it there
is any attempt to enforce it. I never know so
much excitement on any subject us there is
here ut present, and in all the north part of the

The 'Constitutional excitement does not
Fcein to abate, but it' any thine, inr rentes.
Meetings v vje held by both parties last night.
Nothing transpired at these meetings that we
tMi "hear of, more than usual. The determina
tion on the one part to carry out the orders of
the Government, is as strong as ever, while
that aulrctii&taiicc, in the ease of an interfer
ence v.ilh the political moveiiit'iitsof the other,
is ho It s decided.
'Wo encounter knots of men at a' most eve
ry corner, some of whom, on both side, say
they will fight ; while others declare they
prefer to do all that business up by proxy.
The ergons of the opposing factians are full
of fire."
We heard a little group of mo:t in conversa
tion lust night, and one was enlightening the
others relative to the necessity of a mob being
i'ully organized. He declared that a thousand
men, without organization, could not success
fully resitt two hundred and fifty properly
drilled. Uk'hearcrs betrayed no hub interest
in his remarks, and one or two on the conclu
sion, we thought, showed, by a change of co'or
jo tbeircheeks, from the rose to the lily, that
they, at a-Uevects, would not mingle in the af
fray should it come.

The attack on Texas was by a band of

The AIKii:Hiirust is hloekuded by the Tex

The New Orlerns I'.oe has a long article on

in which the lollowitig siatement is made :
It isan nsceTtained fact t lint the money (f(i,

upon a mortgage of vhurcli toieny, to carrj

durei the privations of the cump, and meets the
dangtrs ofthe field ; and teds lnuibtlf aulli-
eiently rewarded in the approbation of his own
bosom nnd in the enjoyment of those blessings
w hich his valor contributed to maintain. These
reflections will invigorate tho resolution of the
citizen soldier in the Woody conflict of battle
and even disarm death of its terrors. On that
nronioraWe lay, I had occulur demonstration
of the perfect willingness w ith which the citi
zen, as a volunteer, offered tip his life to pave
his country; not one; proved recreant. War ia
a great evil, and brings with it calamity ot
various kinds. Honored by the suffrages of my
fellow citizens, with a seat in Congress, I voted
iu favor of the declaration of war uguiust Great
Ilritain, in and have never repented of
that vote, nor tlie part I took in that war and
under the same causes I would now give the
same vote ; and my feeble arm, by Divine
Providence invigorated, I would endeavor tj
render the same service.
Having thr.s given sanction to the war, tn

federacy, at a crisis which involved every thing
dear to the citizens of tlte United States.
These were tlie considerations and this the
high reward. I never looked for, nor anticipa
