The Crew of the Constitution.--It is stated in the Boston Daily Advertiser of Monday, that on the preceding day, a requisition of 120 men of the Constitution's crew, 6 officers included, was made by the order of government, for the purpose of manning our vessels at Sackett's Harbor. Fifteen Stage Coaches, it is said, were employed to convey them to the place of their destination. Two hundred infantry, it is added, were ordered to the same place. It is no doubt important, that during the approaching summer, we should have skilful and experienced mariners upon the Frontier Lake.
