We noticed, the other day, a report
which had obtained currency IN this city,
and was generally credited, that the YES
tern Expedition had experienced some III
terruption IN ITS progress, al ST. Louis,
from causes the nature Of which we did
not precisely understand. Nor is il like
ly that We should, If, as at present inform
ed, IT would appear, that the report IL
sell was incorrect. Letters IRON the prln-
cipal oHicer now 18th the expedition, and
81. Louis new spapers, both of the date of
June 2d, received yesterday. make no al
fusion 10 the circumstances winch lave
been reported, and winch, IL is therefore
hoped, are untrue. In any event, we are
persuaded, no long DELAY would have
been permitted. The letters state some
apprehension that the waters will be TOO
low tor steam boat navigation In which
case keel boats will be immediately sub
sti'uted. No other delay or obstruction
appears TO have been anticipated.
Nat. Int.
Among the multitude of eplIemerai ru-
mours which buzz their hour and are for
gotten. has been report in the eastern
states, OF the death of the PRESIDENT.
which is thus noticed in the Boston Cen
tinel OF lie Goth instant:
A report of the death of the Presi-
dent oil the United States, of fever, in
Tennessee, spread a gloom over the pub
lie mind for short time on Wednesday
last. On examination, II was found 10
be incorrect. Wepow lsve advices from
Tennessee TO the Sd inst. when his health
was sound" DC.
We have still later accounts, the reader
will perceive, via Lexington, Ky. which
announce the progress OF the President
III his tour as far westward as Frankfort,
Ky. Ii is not surprising that such re-
port should % spread gloom over the
public mind" We we'll remember the
deep gloom which overspread the COM
munity, and particularly the Congress
then IN session, without distinction of
party al time that party spirit was most
venomous-when, during the late war,
the valuable life of President MADISON
was threatened by a severe illness. The
life OF MIR. MONROE is no less dear to
his country and some of his friends
have doubted whether il ought 10 have
been put to the least hazard by exposure
TO southern sun at this advanced stage
OF summer. The President has vet near
" a thousand miles TO travel by land. be-
fore he reaches the seat of government ::
and, though we are not aware OF any
prejudice which has occurred TO the pub
lice service from his absence, his return
will be looked for with interest. and vel
coined with pl' asure. IH.
