NEWPORT, June 8.

A correspondent observes, that it is impolitic for a citizen of this State in his travels abroad to acknowledge his country, unless he can prove a uniform and decided opposition to Knor Ye men and measures.--So great disrepute and contempt are we held by our Sister States, that Rhode-Island Faith is become a proverbial term of reproach when one violates his engagements-If a rebel or pirate escapes from justice, it is suggested that he has fled for refuge here---if language fails of odious epithets to portray the finished villain, he is compared to a Knor Ye Judge. Unhappy State! thy government is distracted, thy trade is ruined, and thy character is sullied by merited reproach---if an enemy had brought us to the precipice of annihilation, our innocence would have invigorated the efforts to rise, but when we reflect that the calamities we feel are deliberately introduced by those who ostentatiously profess to relieve the distressed--when poverty advances with rapid strides, in the prosecution of a system, which was to render our country richer than Eldorado---how can we too strongly execrate the policy of such measures----how can we too bitterly curse the men who have dictated them.
