Providence, December 6.  The enemy, we learn, have been for
some time, busied in removing the pews and pulpits from
several meeting-houses at Newport, and erecting chimnies
therein, for the reception of troops.  This is not the first
instance of their turning the house of God into dens for
thieves--witness Burgoyne's Riding-Theatre, &c.
