A' CI ST 17 The Military Expedition from the Lakes to the Missis>ipni, consisting of the 5th regiment of Infantry, un der Col. Leavenworth, arrived at Prairie du Chien about the 1st of July, hy the way of the Fox and Ouiscousin rivers, with only a por tage of t v\ h or three miles. A de tachment has also ascended the Mis sissippi from St. Louis, with provi sions, clothing, ordinance, and mu nitions. Our corres|K)iident state?* that Col. L. will have it in his pow er to establish the post at the Falls of St. Anthony this season, should it be deemed advisable to do so. We also learn that the Missouri Expedition, under Cul. Atkinson, was in advance of St. Cbartes on the dlth Jul; , and, notwithstanding the delay occasioned by some de-' fects in the steam boats, there was no doubt the troops would arrive at the Council Bluffs, more than, six hundred miles in advance of St. Louis, this season, well supplied with provisions, clothing, and intini tions of war. The characters of Colonels At kinson and Leavenworth,- warrant the belief that the arrangqpent* of the government i*ill lie carried into full effect .without collision with our ciligeqs or tlu> Indmns. < HI NTSVILLE, JULY 15. The C onvenlum. ? On Tuesday, the 18(1i irist. Mr. Clay, chairman of the committee Appointed on Wednes day last, to draft a constitution for the State of Alabama,, reported that the committee had agreed upon a plan of a constitution which- lie now submit ted to the convention. We have Jiad no opportunity of examining the plan reported hy the committee, so as to give it. iu detail to our readers, but we have such a recollection of its leading features as to fnrnish them fc". with a tolerable idea of the views of P-.. the committee. ( f ..The report provides for the elec tion of a Governor by the |>eople, who *' sholl hold 'iiis office fur the term of two years y he shall be potsesaed of a fire-hold estate to the value of 83000, and after the second election for^^overnor, top person shall he el - igible unless he shall have resided in the state at least four years. The Governor is to have a negative on all bills - passed "' by the legislature, which shall nevertheless become laws provided two thirds of both houses concur. The Legislature is divided into two hritnches, 'viz. a House of Rep resentatives and Senate? the former iff chosen by the people annually, observing the present ratio of repre sentation, except (hat the counties of Marengo and Dal)** are to send each two members, Instead of one, - and Monroe five. This branch of the Legislature is never to exceed 100 members, who are to be appor tioned among the several counties according to the population of the s ime respectively, as ascertained by a census to be taken ifTMhe years 1820, 1828, and 1825, and every five years thereafter. The Senate is to lie composed of 15 members, and is never to exceed one inutl of the whole number of the House of Representatives.? The State is to "be divided into fourteen Senatorial Districts, of which Madi soh county is to form one and send two Senators, Limestone one, &c. This apportionment is subject to al teration as tlie population varies : i Seuators are to be elected fot three years. The Judiciary is to consist of n feuiterior Court, composed of Judges, i and such inferior courts as the Legis " . 8,;all deem expedient to estab lish in the respective counties. ?
