Massachusetts Legislature.

The business of our Legislature has not yet assumed any particular asperity of party feeling. Excepting the debate on the answers to His Excellency's Speech, there has been very little discussion, or any communications made to awaken a lively controversy.

Yesterday resolutions were offered in Senate, for altering the Senatorial Districts, and for calling on the Executive to point out all such assassins, incendiaries, and other conspirators, whom he may suspect as being instrumental in disturbing the public peace; also for such information as he may have respecting impressed American seamen; and, ALSO, as to the employment of any Ministerial Printers, in destroying our own, & reestablishing over us a British government. This Resolution occasioned considerable conversation, but was finally lost.

The Governor sent to the House a message, recommending the supply of such cloathing, &c. as may be required for an army, if raised for an offensive war. The bill for paying the members of the House, out of the Treasury, passed as follows, viz. Yeas 241, Nays 182. Boston Gazette.
