Delegates from all of the seceding Stales were in alien dunce. The deliberations of the Congress hure been principally with closed doors.? Perfect unanimity among its members pre* vail. Telegraphic dispatches in our Charleston exchanges say that on the 7th iiird., the Congress, as the basis of u Provisional jCiovernment, adopted the Constitution of the United States, with the addition of a clause favoring free tra.de with a JI the world. We have received later intelligence under date of the 9tn. by telegraphic despatch forwarded its from Camden, showing the following further particulars of the CoustU ' ^ tution for the Provisional Government. It is to continue in force one year from the inauguration of the President, or until n permanent Constitution is -forpjvd and adopted Tim "7III Section of the 1st Article is as y follows ^ The importation of African Negro* from any foreign country other than the sluvehohling Slatca of the United Stutea ia hereby forbidden, and Congress ia required to pnss huc.Ii la a s as shall effectually prevent the aaino.
