LAFAYETTE.
The following are extracts from q
letter received by a GENTLEMAN in New
York from Gen. LAFAYETTE. Though
IN substance what we have already in
serted from other letters, it is . plea.
sure even to repeat any thing from his
pen.

republic; but not without great di-
Vision of opinion. nor without danger,

Duke Of Orleans was chosen by the
Chamber Of Deputies in the name of

EMIGRATION.
We have frequently spoken Of the
extensive emigration from ireland and
England to the Csnsdas and America.
Germany also furnishes each year its
contingent Of emigraHis tn tho United
States, as appears from the following
letter from Darmstadt:--" The em,.
grafton mania is increasing rather than
diminishing in the province of Stark
enburg. On the 9Th Of the month. 90
emigrants from Bergtrasse passed thro'
