In the General Assembly on Monday, the committee of the whole went into the further consideration of the first and second amendment proposed to be added to the constitution of the United States. A variety of opinions prevailing as to both these articles, it was deemed most proper, that the consideration of them should be postponed, that the members might have further time to reflect on them. The committee therefore rose, reported progress and asked and obtained leave to sit again. As the session is nearly drawing to a close, it is conjectured that nothing will finally be determined in this business, until the House meet again, which will probably be sometime in February next.
