NEWPORT, July 10.

During the last session of the General Assembly of this state, a tax of 20,000 pounds paper currency, was ordered to be assessed on the polls and estates of the inhabitants, and to be collected and paid into the general treasury on or before the first day of January next. The continental tax the collection of which was suspended last May, was at this session ordered to be collected and paid on or before the last day of October next.

The Legislature have appointed the Honorable Jabez Bowen, Esq. and Col. Samuel Ward, commissioners, who, in a convention of such commissioners as have been or may be appointed by the other states in the union, are "to take into Consideration the trade of the United States, to examine the relative situation and trade of the said States, to consider how far an uniform system in their commercial regulations may be necessary to their common interest, and their permanent harmony, and to report to the several states such an act relative to this great object, as when unanimously ratified by them, will enable the United States in Congress assembled more effectually to provide for the same."
