Count De Leon, and retinue, consist
ing of forty five persons, arrived recent
ly in this country, from Germany. 1t
is said he intends to settle in the neigh

Copitol.-The Senate Chamber has
been very much enlarged and improved
under an act of the last General Assem-
bly,. The former gallery has been taken
up and the lobby has been thrown into
the Chamber itself. The lobby and gal

ofthe Delegate Hall have also been new
