The first settlements on the Connecticut river were effected by the Dutch; and the imputation of the English settlers that the former were intru- ders, seems to be quite unfounded in justice or truth. The patent obtained from their own govern- ment for aut lands they should discover, included the lands on the Connecticut river, which wes as yet unknown to the English. They traded with the [udians for several years, and purchased from them a tract of land, on which they erected a fort and trading-house at Hartiord, before the English had taken possession of the country. Those who came from Piymouth and Massachusetts colonies, and attempted to drive the Dutch trom their settle- ments, were not poesessed of the smallest title from the Plymouth Company. The prior claim of the Dutch will Sppeee from the acc: unt of this. tra action, given by Governor Bradford ; in which he relates how they eluded the vigilance of the Datch by erait and deceit, and on the pretence of trading with the natives, succeeded in passing their settle- ment, and sailed to about a mile above them, on the Connecticut, where they made a clearing, erected # house, apd fortified the place by pati- sades. The writer continues: ** The Dutch send word home to the Monhates of what was done; and in precess of time they send a band of about seventy men, in warlike manner, with colors die- played, to assault us; but seeing us strengthened, and that it would cost blood, they come toa parley, and return in peace. And this was our entrance there. We did the Dutch no wrong, for we took not a foot ct any land they bought, but went to the place above them, and bought that tract of land which belonged to the Indiaus we carried with us, a our friends, wita whom the butch had nothing to do. In 1634, a number of the inhabitants of Cam- bridge, with the Rev. Mr Hooker at their head, applied to the general court of Massachusetts for permission to remove to the bavks of the Connec- feu‘, on the plea that the number of emigrants did not allow them such a choice of lands as they de- sired. The court was divided on the subject, and ity consideration was postponed fora time. Seve- ral ot the most active of those engaged in the terprise had proceeded so tar in their preparations tor removing, that they would not wail the couit’s consent ; and five ot them set out, aud proceeded to Pyqnag, a beautiful spot on the Connecticut, a few miles below Harttord, where they built huts and paesed the winter. The general court again assembled in May, 1636, and granted permission to Hovker and his company to remove to Counecti- cut, as they desired; stipulating, however, that they should remain under the jurisdiction of Mas- suchusetts. Active preparations for removal were immediately commenced, and small parties were sent out in advance, not only trom Cambridge, bat also from Dorchester aud Waterton. Colonization of Providence and Rhode Island. The founders of Massachusetts having fled from persecution on account of their religious opinions, were chiefly anxious to secure to themselves and their descendants the unmolested enjoyment of these opinions in the country where they had taken refuge. For this purpose they deemed it important to require of all the mesabers of their community, conformity to their religious views, to a certain extent; and this, in a small state, such as they pro- pesed te found, they considered not only practica- ole, but absoiutely essential to the continued exia- tence of the colony. ‘The puritans had not learned to separate moral and religious trom political ques- tions, nor had the governors of any other state or soverignty in the werld, at that period, learned to make this distinction. We must not be surprised, therefore, to find that what was considered heresy by the rulers of Massashusetts, should be regarded as subversive of the very foundations of society, aad that, in accordance with these views, it should receive trom them precisely the same sort of treat- ment which at the same period dissent from the established religioa of the state was receiving from the rulers of the most enlightened nations of Eu- rope. The impracticability of maintaining a uniformi- ty of religious opinion even in a smal! community, most favorably situated for the purpose, soon be- came apparent, Among the emigrants of 1630 was Roger Williams, a puritan minister who officiated for some time as a pastor in New Plymouth; but subsequently obtained leave to resign bis functions at that place, and in 1683 was appointed minister ot Salem. His unflinching asseruon of the rights of conscience, and the new views which he de- veloped of the nature of religious liberty, had early attracted the attention of the leading men of the colony, and excited the hostility of a great por- tion of the people. Indeed there was much in his doctrine to awaken the prejudices and excite the alarm of those who had adopted the exclusive theory of Winthrop and his adherents. He maintained! teat it was not lawful for an unregenerate man to pray, nor for Christians to join in family prayer with those whem they judged ‘Unregenerate: that it was not lawful to take an oath of allegiance, which he had declined himself to take, aud advised his congregation equally to reject: that King Charles had unjustly usurped the power of dispos.ng of the territory of the Indians, and hence the colonial patent was utterly invalid: that the e1vil may te had no right to restrain or direct the consciences of men; and that any thing short of unlimited toleration for all reiigio.s sys- tems was detestable persecution. These opinions, aud others of a kindred nature, enforced with an uncompromising zeal, seon occa- sioned his separation from bis pastoral charge. A few admirers clung to him in his retirement ; and whem he denounced the use ef the cross en the British flag, the fiery and enthesiastic Endicott cut the Popish emblem, ashe styled it,trom the national standard; nor did the censure of this act by the provincial authorities convince the military trained bands of Wiiliam’serror. With them the leaders were obliged to cempromise. While measures is: fer bringing Williams to a judi- ‘otton and other ministers propos ed aconference with him, of the fruitiessness of which the far-sighted Winthrop warned them— “You are deceived in that man, if you think he will condescend to learn of any of you.” Snubse- quent events showed that these two men, the most istinguished in the colony, regarded each ether with mutual respect throughout the whole contro- verey. The conferenee was ineffectual; and een- tence of banishment was pronounced against Wil- liams. This sentence was so unpepular in Salem, that a large proportion of the inhabitants prepared te follow him into exile ; when an earnest remon- stiance from Cotton and the other, ministers of Boston, hardly induced therm to relinquish their purpose. Alarmed at this movement, his enemies determined to send him to England ; but he evaded the Warrant issued for his apprehension, and ma- king his escape in the midst of winter, seught shelter among the recesses of the forest. His suf: ferings should never be forgotten by the friends of religious liberty. For more than three months he was a houseless wanderer in the woods (1635). [t was well for him that his philanthropic spirit had reviously led him to cultivate the friendship of the indians. From Massasoit and Canonicus he re- ceived a cordial welcome ; and he was ever after their advocate and friend Hie first attempt at a settlement was at Seekonk, where pe precered land from Oramaquin, the chiet sachem of Pokaneket, and began to build. Bat a private letter from Goveruor Winthrep brought him information that this place was within the jurisdic- tion of Plymeuth colony,and advised him to remove to the neighborhood of Narragansett Bay. | His friends, Miantonomoh and Canonicus, assured him he ot want land fora settiement in that tha be shale this ammarance, he, with five other Emigration of Hooker and his Company. Price Two Cents. SSS persons,went over Seekonk river toseek a place for that purpose. Descending the stream, as they drew near the little cove, north of Tookwotten, now called Indian Point, they were saluted by the na- tives with the friendly term, ‘What cheer? Pass- ing down to the mouth of the river, and round Fox Point, they proceeded a little way up the river on the other side, to a place called, by the Iudians, Mooshausick, where they landed, and were hos- pitably received. Not far trom the landing, Koger Willams afterwards built his house. Here he, with his companions, began a planteton, which, in acknowledgment ‘of God’s merciful providence to him in his distress,’ he called Providence. In 1638 a deed of Canonicus and Miantonomoh con- firmed his possession ot the land. ‘The exile, per- secuted for his testimony to tbe freedom of con- science, had become the founder of a State. Attack on Fort Stephenson. On the 20th of July, the British and Indians made another attempt on Fort Meigs; but after a siege of eight days they were compelled to abandon it. They thea sailed round to Sandusky Bay, hoping to surprise Fort Stephenson, at that place. This fort was garrisoned by only one hundred and sixty men, uader the command of Major Croghan, ‘Tae force of the enemy was supposed to consist of about five huodred regulars and eight hundred Indians, the whole commanded by General Proctor, On the Ist of Aweust the enemy landed, and imme~ diately opened their fire from the six-pounders of thei gun-boats, and a howitzer, which they landed a short distance below the fort. The only piece of artillery in the possession of the Americans was a six-pounder, which wasgeccasionally fired trom different quarters, to impress the enemy with the belief that there were severai. The fire of the assailants having been principally directed against the nerth-western angle of the fort, with the inten- tion, as it was supposed, of storming it from that quarter, the #1x-pounder was placed in such a posi- tion as to enfilade that angle, and masked, so as to be unperceived. The firing was continued during the next day, and until Jate in the evening, when the sincke and darkness favoring the attempt, the Roger Williams Exiled. Defence of enemy advanced to the assault. Two feints were made, in the direction of the southern angle; and’ at the same time, a column of about three huadred % and fifty proceeded to the attack of that ot thei} north-west. paces of this point, they were discovered, and al heavy fire of musketry opened upon them. — Thei column, however, led by Colonel Short, continued to advance, and leaped into the ditch; but, at this moment, the embrasure was opened, and so weil- directed and raking a fire Was poured in ujon them from the six-pounder, that their commander and many of the men were eu killed; and the remainder made a disorderly and hasty 1etreat. A sunilar tatejattended the other column, commanded by Colouel Warburton. ‘They were received, on their appreach, by eo heavy a fire, that they broke and took refuge in an adjoiaing wood. ‘The total loss of the enemy in kiiled, wounded, and prison- ers, in this affair, was about one hundred aad fitty men, The scene which followed the attack re- flected the greatest credit onthe Americans. Nuim- bers of the enemy's wounded were lett iyingin the dich, to whom water and other necessaries were conveyed by the garrison, during the might, at the risk of their own satety. A communication was cut under the pickeung, through which many were enabled to crawl into the fort, where sursical aid, and all that the mose liberal generosity could dictate, was administered to them, About three o’clock in the m ng after their repulse, the enemy commenced a precipitate retreat, leaving behind them many vaiuable military articles. ‘The defence of Fort Stephenson, achieved as it was by a youth scarcely arrived at inanh od, against a toe distinguished tor his skili and bravery, and that too with so sinall means of deleuce at tie tume subsisting, was Certainly oe of We most brillant achievements of the war. ‘The news of the repulse of the enemy was received with great exultatien throughout the Union. Major Vrognan was promoted to the rank cf Lieutenant Colonel; and, together with his brave cempanious received the thanks of Congress. Crarak or Murper —Yesterday forenoon, Fen- ner Ballou and Dr, Alexander A. Butler were brought up for examination upon a charge of murdering Maria A. Aldrich, whose death is supposed to have bean caused by a successful attomptto procure abortion, ‘The prisoners were arrested in this city on tho 20th ult on which day the case was postponed till yesterday.
