 DEAR SIR-Lieut. NoIANp arrived in this city, a few minutes ago, with the Coi,s stitution. He brought but single copy of that instrument, and that addressed to the Secretary of State. It $ likely the Secfe- tary will lay it before the President without delay; and think it probable the President may conceive it his daty to lay it before Congress-at-least, hope he will so con- slider it. The Convention probably design ed that l should have nothing to do with the Constitution, and therefore sent me no copy.

 Before his arrival, to-day, (for we had just left the committee-room before he ar rived), we had had the Constitution under considerations bill for our admission vas assented to by a majority, and will be re- ported oh the day after tomorrow. shall draw it up tonight for the committee.

 There was no objection as to the mode of our application for admissionAbut there will be an effort, fear, on the part of some, to revive the slave question. But 1t will be tnavaiIing. We shall come in with our Constitution; but, in regard to the Ordi- nance, can assure you, thus fare in ad- vance, that, upon that, the pruning knife, with heavy hand, will have to be used.- or it will not go through.

 In haste, your friend,

 4. Fl. SEWER.
