General La Fayete, who is travelling in the Uni

enthusiastic welcome which marked his landing on

TO quote) devote large portion of their columns 10
the details of his interesting journey: and the deep
feeling Of patriotism and joy which his presence in
spires, though to cold observer it may appear
manticay inter Sc, must afford the veean soldier OF
ind, pendence qualification which monarchs might
envy, and is highly honorable 10 American charac.

that could forget the services Of carly and disnte
rested friend and he,too foreigner: and we should,
perhaps, better compliment free people by consid-
ering such demonstration Of national gratitude as
a matter OF course, than holding it up exam
pie of patriotic virtue. liverpool Mercury
