LAFAYETTE.-.ifter a residence of
nearly twelve months in the United States,
General Lafayette has at last returned to
Europe. Hitherto We have, somehow, ao-
stained from saying a single word on the ex-
traordinary spectacle by which his visit has
been throughout distinguished. We have,
like all mankind, been struck mute, as 1t
were, by each successive gushing out of the
spontaneous and unpurchased homage of ten
millions Of free people. We have stood by,
in almost stupid wonder. while so many
more than classic triumphs-so much high
er than classic feelings, were performing and
bursting around US: hardly knowing, indeed,
whether we had to deal vita the honest ex-
citcment of real and gallant people, or
we're cheated by the solem fantasies Of a
race of Bedlamites. 1t was not, in fact, till
after the binding pageant had passed away,
that VIC could bring ourselves to talk soberly
either of its fitness or its reality. At last,
/ however, the question docs rush upon oui
\ minds-Why have all these things been;

have heard of nothing but professions, feast

The following is the letter of General
Washington to the Emperor of Austria, on
the confinement of Lafayette in the dungeon
of Olmutz. 1t bears the strongest marks OF

and love recently paid to the latter testify.

private letter to your Majesty, being per-
suaded that my motives will also be my
apology for it. In common with the peo-
pie OF this country, ] retain a strong and
cordial sense OF esteem for the services
rendered to them by the Marquis de Lafay-
cite, and my friendship for him has been
constant and sincere. It is natural, there
fore, that should sympathisc with him, and
his family in their misfortunes, and endeavor
to mitigate the calanitics they experience,
among which his present confinement is not
the least distressing.
