We learn from Newport, Rhode-Island, that the general assembly of that state, in their late session, in consequence of a letter received from Congress, earnestly pressing the state to send on delegates to Congress, had warm debates on this important subject; finally a majority of three negatived sending members.

They passed an act, upon the resolution of Congress, requesting the state to repeal any laws repugnant to the treaty with Great-Britain.

An act passed, granting a tax of thirty thousand pounds, in paper, to be paid into the treasury in January next, to be appropriated towards discharging the state debt.---Also, a curious, apologetical letter to Congress, assigning reasons for not sending delegates to the Convention, a protest of the minority, and a resolution requesting the governor, by letter, to inform the president of Congress, that two delegates were directed to attend their body on the first Monday in November next; that measures were taken by the assembly for having the state duly represented, and that they have not given orders for their delegates going forward previous to that time, under an apprehension, that the states should not generally be represented in Congress, until their meeting for the next year.
