'GENEaALLAFAyETTE, with his Son and
Secretary, sat out last evening on his
tour TO the Southern andWestern states.
He left here in the steamboat Potomac,
for Norfolk, whence he will proceed
through the Carolinas, Georgia, and Al
ALBANIA, to New-Orleans; thence, up the
Mississippi, as far as st. Louis, visiting
the Seats of Government of the States
On its banks; then those of the Western
and Northwestern States, and returning
to the Atlantic via Pittsburg, &c. Being
under an engagement to be at Boston on
the anniversary ofthe Battle ofBunker's
Hill, which is the 18th ofJune, the Cen
eral has a journey before him of about
five thousand miles, to be performed in
something less than four months. The
greater part of the vast and fertile re-
gions which he is about to visit-now
tsemihg with population, and abound
ing all the arts and comforts of civiliza-
tion-has been reclaimed from the sa-
wage and the wilderness since Lafay-
cite last left our shores for his own
country. His eye will dwell with de-
light on the uninterrupted prospect of
plenty and happiness which will every
where greet his sight; and he will ex-
ult while he sees all these blessings
crowded with the enjoyment of institu-
tons SO dear to his generous heart. Ibid.
