roRTANT.-By pigeon express, which started from
Coney Island, performing the distance in twelve
minutes, 2a seconds, we in receipt OF highly
important intelligence from that region, and of ex-
ceedlng interest at the present time.


II seems that rumor prevailed over Concy Island
on the day before yesterday, that Gov. Dorr who
has filled large space in the eye of a State,
over whose whole extent person might pass in a
pleasant mornings walk, was determined to have
government at some place, arguing very naturally,
that there is no use in being governor, without
something to govern. In short, rumor attributed to
him determination to take possession of Coney
Island, and become sole monarch, law giver, and
protector thereof Sancho Par "a Of the no less
renowned island of Baratara according to the ver-
table narrative. OF the historian Cervantcs. OF
course, a high degree of excitement, and some ex-
gsperation were created among the people; das-
patch was hurried of with the warlike news in all
directions, and the present governor, Gil Davis,
was called by thousand vocferous hroats, to come
and assume the defence OF the common veal TO
which call he answered in person, with extraordi-
nary expedition; summoned his Executive Council,
and all the great officers of state where resolutions
were passed with unsurpassed unanlmity to discoun-


enance and oppose, vi et arms, and with all the
resources of that maritime state, any and every at
tempt OF the said D0rr, to make descent, alias
visit, on the territory OF Coney Island either by sea
or land. One OF the orators, at public Indignation
meeting, declared that although the island had ac
,quired much celebrity for clam bakes he would die
rather than see that ancient and venerated custom
violated by the presiding genius of another dynasty
Another speaker declared that the Empire Club, and
their political fraternities had determined to organ
ize and arm and accompany Gov. Dorr for the ex-
press purpose OF causing commotion and turmoil in
their peaceful quarters, such AS had disturbed Rhode
Island


AS soon as those able speakers laid bare the dark
plans .of the enemy, il resolved at once 10 call
in the waoe military forces Of the Island to dstr-
principally Of CLAIMS, to double seniries on all the
vulnerable points Of the coast TO put the fortfca-
tions in thorough state of defence, and with
trust in Providence, and dry powder, thus await the
coming OF Dor and his hosts, who, it is confidently
expected would disappear as fast as "the leaves OF
the forest when autumn hath blown"
