Summary
They have been obstructed in presenting the petition of their state (Rhode Island) to the Congress. The obstructions have been the extended delays by the Boards of the Treasury and the Board of War. Now the delegates take this expedient to bring the matter to the attention of Congress, lest the internal destruction of the State render further applications unnecessary.
