Intelligence from Europe is looked for with con- siderable interest i Our Relations with Brazil, There is every reason to believe, and in fact we have been informed by authority sufficiently good to induce us to place the greatest reliance on it, that Mr. Lisboa, the gentlemanly represen- tative of the Brazilian Empire in this country, is recalled, in consequeace of his having made the concession which our government had rea- son to expect, for the injuries which Lieutenant Davis and other citizens of the United States re- ceived ut the hands of the police of Rio de Ja- neiro. . ‘We do not know in what light to view this proceeding. The Brazilian Empire and the Unit- ed States have always been on the most friendly terms, and it has ever been a part of our policy to preserve the good feeling which hap- pily has existed so long between the two coun- tries. Surely, Brazil cannot expect to gain any thing by subverting a state of affairs 0 agreeable and beneficial to both countries. The only con- cession asked of the Brazilian Minister was a declaration, that in the incarceration of Lieut. Davis and some Uniied States sailors, no insult Was intended to the United States. Such con- cession was immediately made by Mr. Lisboa, after he had investigated the circumstances. ‘Without hesitation, he freely granted all that was asked, and yet we are informed that the Brazilian government has virtually refused to ratify the proceedings of its minister in this matter. We regret very much that matters have taken this course, not because we have anything to fear from Brazil, but because it implies a cen- sure onus. The United States, in that instance, acted on the principle to “ demand nothing that is not right, and to submit to nothing that is wrong.” The demand, if we may use the term, was promptly complied with; but because Mr. Lisboa has been recalled, no matter how hurt- ful it may be to our feelings, we must not suppose that the Brazilian government meditatea anything that will lead to a rup- ture between the two countries. On the con- trary, we have every reason to believe that the Brazilian government is as anxious as we are to perpetuate the friendly relations that have so long existed between us, and which we hope will continue to exist for a century to come. While we regret that Mr. Lisboa is recalled, as we believe he is, we are conscious that our government has not overstepped the bounds of national courtesy in asking what it considered a just and equitable concession in the premises, and we feel authorised to state that Col. Todd, the new minister to Brazil, and who has just sailed in the Ohio for Rio de Janeiro, fwill have everything ainicably arranged. Our merchaats engaged in the Brazil trade may rest assured of this. DG ae sia Ship-Bullding in New York—Another Splendid Launch: The new ship Isaac Wright, intended for the old line of Liverpool packets, will be launched from the ship yard of Mr. W. H. Webb, foot of Seventh street, East River, on Monday morning, at ten o’clock. This splendid ship is 1,200 tons burthen; and in point of strength, beauty of model, and great sailing capacity, is probably unsurpassed by any packet ship ufloat. She has been named the Isaac Wright, in compliment to one of the found- ers of the “Old Line,” and we learn that it is the intention of the present owners to construct another, of still larger size, in a short time, to be called the Jeremiah Thompson, another of the original founders of this line. : It will be worth the attention of any one to at- | VISIT OF THE PRESIDENT | To THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN STATES.

Purtapecrmia, June 24, 1847. Past 12 O’clock—Beautiful Moonlight. } ‘The President has bad a trying day’s work to-day.— Our last despatch brought down his exercises to Inde- pendence Hall, at one o'clock, where he wus welcomed by His Honor the Mayor, Mr. Swift, in a brief, hearty, and whole souled little speech, to which the President replied, touching upon the honor of meeting in this old hall, as the chiet servant of the people, his fellow citizens of Philadelphia—a place consecrated by the Adamses, the Haneocks, the Jeffersons, and all the immortal fathers of our independence, with other remarks upon our happy governmental institutions, Whereupon, tne good old method of salutation, by shaking hands, was commenced, and prosecuted with great vigor till three o'cluck, the hour set apart for the termination of this branch of the days’ proceedings, within the penetralia of the brave old temple of ‘76° Forhere, first of all, decisively, and in a palpable and national form— “ When Freedom from her mountain height, Unfurled her standard to the air.”” Here first it fluttered, broad, open, and high up in the breeze of the summer’s morning, with nationality blaz- ing out among its stars. While in the Hall, the Mayor stood by the side of the President. and the Vice President, and around them might be seen the Attorney Generals of the United States and of the State, the Commissioner of the Patent Office, Mr. Appleton, the chief clerk of the Navy Department, Gen. M. Keim, Judge Kane ofthe Kane letter, Col. Forrey, Gen. Patterson, and » host of other distinguished per- sonages.

M’Clay,W. MoMurray, and D C. Broderick “he deputation was drawn up on the grovein the form of sting, into which the President passed, and was introduced, when Mr. Motlay did the weloome in un enthusiastic speech, which was replied to in the same apirit by the President. ‘The New York deputation, thereupon marched down to the Eureka again, after giving the Presideat a round of chewrs, and shortly after (the majestic teamer Van- derbilt rounding to at the wharf.) the President and all his company resumed thelr seats in the oars, and passed en down to the landing. ‘Atthe landing, iust inside the gate on the wharf, the President was brought to a halt. a sure indication thut there was some speaking yet to be don: : Mr. Oliver, of the board of Aldermen of New York, addressed the [resident, bidding him welcome, thrice welcome, to the great commercial emporium of the Union. Hon Garrett D. Wall next delivered the farewell ad- Louvre of the fine arts, not equal to the Parisian, of course, but «good beginning, with quite a number of choice pieces of painting, some of them equal to the best; and the rooms and pictures arranged to the finest advantage for exhibition. At five o’clock the President dined at the Vice Presi- dent's, with his official suite, and several of the city com- mittees, and others. At half-past seven he visited the Academy offFine Arts, returned tothe Vice President's, ‘and abortly after he was taken away up to the Northern Liberties to a mass meeting of the people; the Vice Pre- sident remaining at home this time. Hon.Charles Brown aeked that his fellow citizens would, after the great labor of the last three days, excuse the President from shuk- ing hands with them all, and thereupon introduced him generally tothe assemblage, who responded by three lusty cheers, From the Northern Liberties, the Executive and party returned, and closed the exercises lof the day at Gen. Patterson’s, where the officers and others of the city military were introduced, and where also a nice colla- tion was set out, and discussed by the company. ‘At midnight, the President and Vice President, at the residence of the latter, were serenaded by several good singers, with a number of gentlemen accompanying them on flutes and other instruments, with a solo and sccom- paniment on the guitar at intervals, the very music to lull a wearied man into the land of dreams— “ Where truth that is and truth that seems Blend in fantastic strife.” It was altogother different from the serenade of the pre- ceding night. Then at least two hundred brass instru- ments united in their spirit-stirring martial music, which rung out through the moonlight, inspiring the listener with military aspirations, and reminding one of the dazzling glories of the military chieftains who havo { ruled empires, ruled out empires, and oppressed the People; but awaking in the mind also a pride in the glory of our arms in Mexico, and a longing desire to hear the music of “ Bragg’s Battery,” and the word “ forward!’ from the old man of the Sierra Madre. But altogether different were the reflections called up by the serenade of the second night, at Mr. Dallas's re- sidence. It came like the memory of days that are gone, pleasant and mournful to the soul. It revived once more, with its low, sweet, lullaby, the recol- lections of the sunny hill side, and the fountain in the woods, and the young bright faces of the past, never to be seen any more. Andjamid green fields, and as if it were the music of the south wind in the pines, the listener in his chamber was soothed to rest, unable to teli at what point, and how and where, the transition from the real to the ideal world took place. It was music like that of the— “Sister Circo, and the syrens three, Who, ’mid the flowery kirtled Naides. Culling their potent herbs and baleful drugs, Would take the prison’d soul, And Isp it in Euysiram. And here, for an hour's repose with these sentimental tend the launch of this noble ship, if for no other impressions upon our mind, we bid you dear reader, purpose than to witness the active operations in ship building, in Webb’s and the neighboring ship yards. The monster steamer United States, building fer C. H. Marshall, Esq., and others, the Lafayette, for the Bremen line, and several sailing packets of the largest class, are all with- in a stone’s throw of the Isaac Wright, and will altogether afford a magnificent sight, worth see- | ing. We take the liberty of suggesting that this willbe an excellent opportunity for the Presi- dent of the United States to pay a visit to our ship yards; and we venture to say thathe, as well as the owners of the Old Line, and the public generally, would be mutually gratified. Mr. Polk will there see some of the practical benefits arising from tree trade, as well as the great improvements which have been made in naval architecture. Such an opportunity as this may never again be offered to the President. Navigation or THE Oronoco Rivar.---We would cull the attention of the public to the ad- vertisement of Mr.*Vespasian Ellis, regarding this matter. It is an enterprise well worthy the attention of capitalists. Fast Saitinc.—The British bark Barbara, of Galway, sailed from that port on the 6th of May, and arrived alongside the dock at Halifax, N: on the 18th. She was ten hours becalmed, and twenty-four hours lying to, ina thick fog. Musical. Pan Tueatae.—The last performance of Bellini's opera ‘ Norma,” went off with the ordinary effect pro. duced by the Italian company ince their appearance in this city. The house was crowded. Tedesco and Rai- nieri bad severul excellent passages in their singing; and the tenore Severi, although not entirely recovered from his indisposition, showed himself under a more favorable -napect : his introductions were better given, his voice more assured, and, in different momenta, as in the trio between Norma, Adalgisa, and folliono, he exhibited the compass of his fine power ro well, that the audience gave bim deserved applause. Shouts, hurrahs and flow- ors were thrown for Tedesco. Such was the end of the opera, This evening, in honor of Mr. Polk, the Presi- dent of the United States, the Italian company will per- form the of “ Hernani,” that admirable partition of Maestr’ Verdi, with Vita, Perelli, Novelli, and ‘Tedesco; there will be an immense attraction.

THE DEPARTURE FROM PHILADELPHIA—THE R¥- CEPTION ALONG THE ROUTE TO AMBOY. Aston Hovse, June 26, 1847. FOURTH DAY OF THE TOUR, “ Behold how brightly breaks the morning.”” Morning clearand breezy, President up early, refresh ed from the night's repose. At seven o'clock, carriages were brought round by the Philadelphis committee to Jones’ Hotel, where the suite of the President were quar- tered; and with Judge Kane, Col. Florence, and others. the officisl company were taken round to the Vice Pre- sident’s. Here's quarter of an hour was spent in the leave-taking with Mr. Dallas and family, The carriages then passed down Walnut street to the ferry. The following gentlemen accompanied the President and his suite from Philadelphia. In behalf of Philadel- | phia, Col. Florence, Col. Christie, Mr. T.3 Stewart, and Col, W. J. Leiper. In behalf of New Jersey, Gen. Gar- rett, D. Wall, Hon. J. R. Thompson, Capt. Edward A. Stovens, James S. Green, Eaq., District Attorney. Col Wm Cook, (brother-in-law of the Secretary of the Trea. sury.) Dr. Arnold, editor of the Trenton Emporium, Mr Louis Perrine, Col. Nelson, and Capt. John W. Mickle. In behalf of the city and State of New York, Aldermen Clarkson Crolins, Geo. H. Purser, and Linus W. Stevens, who came to see that every thing was right. The brave old Com, Stewart also came along. Having crossed the Delaware, the President was salut- ed by a discharge of artillery, met by a large and respec- table assemblage of the councils and people of Camden and vicinity on the platform of the aepot, and in their Debalf, was thus addressed by Capt. John W. Mickle — Mr. President:—I am happy in the unity of welcoming you to tho State of New ener We bid ‘ou weloomie, not only as the President of the United tates, but individually we bid you weloome, We trust, sir, that the prosperity of the country, never greater than at present, may continue, and that the war which has been forced upon us by the enemy, may be ended as it has begun, ina blaze of glory. Aguin, sir, we wel- come you to our State, May your passage over it be ® 1d pleasant, and may you return te your family iu health and happiness. The President returned his thanks—oomplimented the people and State of New Jersey, and congratulated his fellow-citizens on the prosperity of the Union, ‘and the happiness of the people through all its bor- ders. He expressed the hope that on his return an appropriate opportunity fera longer stay with the peo- ple of Camden, might offer itself, and if it did he should apprise them of it,and would be happy to mect them again, (Cheers.) The company passed into the cars, (a special train.) and they were immediately off; and as the train slowly proceeded through the village, some thirty young ladies, tastefully and gracefully dressed, stood along,thesidewalk in a line, waving their white handkerchiefs to the chief servant of the sovereign ‘people, whose daughters they were. They were intended to represent the several States and territories ef the Union,and would have been severally presented as such to the President, had time allowed. The locomotive was dressed off with five flags, whioh made a fine show at full speed. Ran along some twenty miles in thirty-five minutes. Passed the place of Mrs, Biadford, daughter of old Elias Boudinot. Passed the regular train, saw men angling in the river up to their arm-pits in the water; others plough- ing, who stopped to cheer as the cars passed by.

He referred back to the days of the revolution, in proof of the patriotism of the people of New Jersey; and in conclusion, he bade the President a deeply affecting farewell, and & prospe- rous ee, The Pres! lent _was sensibly moved by this cloquent tribute of Gen, Wall, and under deep feeling replied, touching upon the points suggested by the remarks of the General, and reiterating bis grateful thenks for the repeated evidences of respect paid to him on the brief ‘across the State. In reply to Mr. Oliver, the President was alike felicitious and to the purpose, ¢x- expressing that he had long wished to visit the Empire city, and had chosen the first favorable occasion for the journey which had offered since his elevation to the ‘high station to which his countrymen had called him, and congratulated the Committee of New York that their city, amid the general prosperity, was reaping its full and abundant harvest. [During all the time that these speeches were making, the Vanderbilt, close alongside, was letting off steam, rendering it almost impossible to heara word of whut was said at two paces distant from the speakers. We gather what we have given from such as stood immedi- ately about the President and those who addressed him. ‘We could only feel assured from the manner of the speakers, and thelr carnest gesticulations, that they were speaking in a spirit of enthusiasm ‘on the one hand, and of heartfelt gratitude on the other.] ‘And here, with the President and company aboard the Vanderbilt, we transfer the duties of journalist of the expedition to our able associate, giad of the relief from the now overwhelming burden of the task. ‘To our nu- merous acquaintances made and left on the way, we re- turn through this medium our best regards, and a long life to thom, And we have to say that if we e blun- dered in a name or two, or 4 fact, it is entirely attribu- table from the rapid pressure of incidents and events on the route. Respectfully, THE DOCTOR. ARRIVAL AT AMBOY AND THE INTRODUCTION TO THE NBW YORK COMMITTHE. THE TRIP TO NEW YORK—THE APPEARANCE OF THE HARBOR. According to arrangements previously made by the Committee of the Common Council, nd heretofore pub- lished in the Herald, the company, consisting of said committee and about 500 invited guests, assembled at Castle Garden at half-past 8 o'clock, yesterday morning. to embark on board the steamet Cornelius Vanderbilt, which was the boat relected to bring the President from Amboy to this city. Nothing could exceed the com- pleteness of the arrangements on board the Vanderbilt, which came up in the rear, (or rather in front) of Castle Garden. at about balf-past 9 o'clock. She was in charge of Capt. Vanderbilt himself, who performed the double duty of commander and pilot. Every subordinate was in his place, and every waiter punctual in the perform- ance of his duty The most critical could not find room for note of complaint. So much for the steamer, her of- floers and their aids, At about a quarter before ten the company having embarked,the boat mates graceful sweep | in the river, rounded Governor's Island, and came up through Buttermilk channel to the dock, (at the Island) where the United States military band, consisting of about fifteen members, wore received on board and im- mediatoly struck up « stirring air, adding new life to the already joyous occasion. And we were now fairly under way. The morning was more than beautiful—it was brilliant—dolightful. The bay was studded with vessels of all descriptions, which seemed to relieve in a charm- ing dvgree the irlarids and adjacent shores, There was “no breeze the blue waves to curl.” and the colors of the merous craft hung lazily from the gaffs or upright apars of their respective verseln, which were not yet dress- ed in their holliday suits, Onward sped the pride of the rivers, and as she passed down the bay, taking the out- side channel around Staten Island. time was afforded to look around aud observe who were on board. Among the many uniform gentlemen, we recognized Major Gen Gaines and his ald, Major D Calhoun. Adj. Gun. Jones. and Avsistant Adjutaut Geveral Thomas, Colonels Bankhead, Crane, and Totten, Commodore Sloat, Captuins McKeever and Hunter, of the Navy; Majors Grabam, Raina, and Deletield, U. 8. Army, Professor Bart- lett, of West Point, Hon. W. H. Poik, charge d’affuirs to Naples, ex-Governer Polk, Hon. Dixon H. Lewis, and Senator Yulee, of Florida, and many others whose names we did not ascertain. There were also several members of the diplomatic corps, dressed in their respective uni- forms. ‘I'he members of the Common Council were dis- tinguished by appropriate badges, and were untiring in their efforts to keep up the admirable order of their pre- concerted arrangements, The Bench was fully repre- sented, as was also the National and State Legislatures. Many of the ex-Mayors, of all parties, were on board, and emulated each other in their endeavors to sink all ap- peurances of the former party feeling, which have ut times been manifested when political strife was the order of the day; no discordant note was heard to vibrate on this occasion, and the only contest was, to see who should be most urbane ; but this was a matter of real feeling, and caused no ap- parent effort. All knew that In honoring the President of the United States, and the occasion which brought him as a guest to our beloved city, they honored them- selves and praised tacitly but emphatically, in the face of ail the world, those wisely establiabed institutions, created by themselves and their forefathers, to govern & free and intelligent people. May such occasions often recur to cement national friendships, and annul party bickerings. But of the passengers, on board the Vanderbilt. Ac- coupunying the Common Uouncil, were the Sergeants- at-Arms of the Boards of aldermen and Assistants of New York, appeared again, with his still active and hawk-like eye, the respected representative of a faithful American police. George W. Mateell, Chief of Police, aided by Capt. Fairchilds of the 8th ward, and Capt. Middleton of the 10th, with a sufficient number of policemen, were on board, and by the assistance which they rendered in carrying out the arrangements of the committee, demonstrated the value of our excellent corps of well-drilled “ preservers of the peace.”” Minor affairs were no less handsomely attended to than the more important features, The weather was warm, and it was but reasonable to suppos& that in warm weather, cool drinks would be agreeable ;, a table was, therefore, spread on the deck, in a con- venient © way, where all tastes could be suited. Cold water, lemonade, coid punch, and cer- tain significant looking decanters filled with material of different colors, stood there invitingly, appealing to the thirsty, and in their silent ianguage, saying, as General Teylor said to Santa Anna, “Come and take me,” And their appeal was by no means dis- He obey Neither did the 4 store of segars gra- tuitously furnished, beg in vain for customers. The in- vigorating breezes from the salt water braced up the passengers, who were all willing to be cheerful, and » comfortable time, indeed, we had of it. Conversation ofan agreeable character occupied the company, which divided iteelf into small knots, and suited their conver- sation to their various tastes. or the suggestions of sur- rounding circumstances. Without any disagreeable oc- currence to mar the passage, the bout arrived at Am- boy at about noon. The President and suit had already arrived, and as the steamer neared the dock, the distin- guished visiter was easily distinguished from the gentle- men who su rounded him; he was plainly dressed, and stooa uncovered beneath an umbrella, awaiting the ap- h of the committee of recuption. ‘Ihe boat was at Peaches last year, and expects an equal crop this season } : jength made fast, and the committee went on shore to whose fame will endure to eternity.

But xbove ull, he said the crowning monument of our city’s enterprise was the noble aqueduct, which. from a source fifty miles distant brings to us and distributes in our midst the pure water of tte Croton lake, which affords protec:ion in time of danger, and is ut all times @ delightful beverage.

An allusion to hisown official position was made in very well timed phrase. He in- dulged the hope that at the close of his official term of office his successor might find the country in a perous condition, and that the Power above woul’ con- tinue (o smile upon the people. He responded to th sentiment that on such an occusion as the present, par- ty distinctions should be disregarded—for himself he knew no party. His remarks were very brief, and at the conelusion the ceremony of introduction was commenc- ed, Alderman Crolius doing the honors on tbe occasion. ‘rhe members of the Common Council, officers of the Army and Navy, members of the diplomatic corps, mem- bers of Congress, members of the State Legislature, and other distinguished guests were introduced in turn, but before the ceremonies were nearly completed, the Presi- dent, who was quite {ll when he came on d, was obliged to retire to one of the cabins which had been provided for him. After Mr. Polk had retired Mr. At- torney General Clifford became the centre of attraction, and was introduced to the g After the stir incl- dent upon the introductions had subsided , and the President had taken: haif an hour's the guests were invited down to dinner, and proceeded to the dining saloon, inthe same order as that in which they were called upon to receive introductions a short time previously, On entering the dining saloon, we were taked by surprise at the —. arrangements which presented itself. The tables were laid in two rows, throughout the entire length of the saloons, and might be said literally to groan under the weight of their contents. Flesh, fish aud fowl, in all thelr varieties; all the vegetables of the season, substantial and delicate, fruits and confections, pastries, and in short everything. and plenty of it was there; and ample justice was done to the viands, by as ebarp set a multitude as we have for along time fallen in company with, When the com- pany camo up from the dinner table, we had began to near the bay, passing several vessels, steamboats, pilot boats. and others, who saluted us in various ways. ‘The steamboats rang their bells—pilot boat No. 6, fired three guns, and others cheered. At Perth Amboy a large number of people were waiting on the dock, and as we passed they gave us three cheers, fired several guns, and the ladies waved handkerchiefs in profusion, while here and there, groups of children were seen upon the beach,» dancing in very joy, at their good fortune, in being permitted to see the bout which had the President on ‘d. The steamer Eureka, which went down abead of the Vanderbilt, had a gun on board, and fired a salute from her forward deck. She started from Amboy, in company with the Committee’ oat, but ran aground just after getting her steam up; she made the best of her way up, however, and came in before the passengers had landed from the Vanderbilt. ‘The steamer Zephyr, also came aown with a load of pas- sengers, and falling’ in company with the Vanderbilt, salutations were exchanged, and the Zephyr, in compli- ment to the President, slackened her speed, and allowed us to pass her, when after touching her bell, she cracked on, and made some beautiful exhibitions of walking beam gymnastics. The Coney Island boat, American Engle, also camo down te meet us. As we approached the city, the President came upon the forward deck, and the introductions were resumed. His excellency seemed to be in remarkably good spirits, and the greatest goed humor prevailed, jokes were passed, and the fuces of all gave evidence that wit was aseu- ming the sway, when the attention of all hands was arrested by the report of heavy guns, and it was discov- ered that Fort Hamilton bad commenced firing ber Vresidential salute of twenty-one guns. As we came up past Governor's Island the same compliment was ex- pressed by the iron dogs at that place, and now the tiring commenced from on board the revenue cutters in the harbor, the foreign vessels of war, and some of the merchant vessels, and bo m! boom! boom! came the sounds from every side. ‘The artillery on the battery too began to lend their aid, and @ continuous roar of cavnon ushered the President into our harbor. The vessels bad by this time got all their ribbons oP and & magniticent dleptay presented iteelf; flags of all nations were flying from the rigging of hundreds of vessels, und from the va- rious flag stuffs in the neighborhood of the battery. The French steawsbip,Company had @ magnificent national flag made ior the occasion, and displayed it from their head-quarters at the foot of Broadway. Altogether, we have not seen s more brilliant display than was pre- sented ou this occarien It was nearly three o’clock when the Vanderbilt came up tothe place from whence she started. ‘The prome- nude which overhangs the solid work of the castle was radiant with beauty, and, as we came up, thousands of handkerchiefs were waved by the ladies, and # regular democratic cheer, twice repeated, rent the air, Th arrangements for landing being ali completed, the Presi- dent was conducted on shore, and escorted to the stage, inside the garden. APPEARANCE OF THE BATTERY—THR RECEPTION IN CASTLE GARDEN—SCENES AND INCIDENTS. The Battery presented a gorgeous and magnificent spectacle. From one extreme to the other it was literal- ly covered with our citizen soldiery—every man of whom, it appeared to us, gave an extra polish to his boots and his musket, #0 as to add to the interest of the occasion. The artillery corps was stationed near the flugstaff, und the gunners were refreshing themselven under the shade of the nearest tree, and admiring the symmetrical pro- portions of their pieces. Ever und anon their conversa- tion would relate to the President, whem they anxiourly looked for—to the war with Mexico—-to the memories of our gallant heroes who fought our victories in Mexico. but survived not to receive their well earned glories—to our institutions, their simplicity andj aptitude to the ‘American people, and to various other subjects of greater or less importance. About twelve o'clock, this part of our metropolis was actually al ve with human beings, civil and military. In front, and facing the bay. the soldiers were drawn up in military order. their bright uniforms, white pantaloons— the foliage of the trees—the flowing plumes—tho great fing wavin,, from the staff—forming a scene both inte- resting aod beautiful; while in the rear was a great dense masa of civillans, whose metes and bounds were marked out with the greatest precision by the mai shale of the day. The heat was intense—man an horse felt its powerful influence. ‘The question wn: every where asked “ When will Mr, Polk arrive?” while at the samo timethe Lancers were marching and countermarching. and with the assistance of their wen. stragglers.
