completed the taking of the testimony, in rela-
ton TO tue removal Of William and Mary

the petition for removal, reasonable, by vote

is considered very doubtful, though we are in
ciIDed TO think that in consequence of the late
ness OF TIE session, and the great mass of cyi-
dence, that the proposition to remove will be
scarcely adopted at this session.

Prlatlng $4,000 to defray the expenditures for

sPonsible in the reception of Gen. LAFAYETTE
at York Town, passed the House of Delegates

presence Of Gen. Lafayette will revive among

Whilst we are pleased that the conduct of the

the noble reception given to Lafayette at York
