The military, consisting Of the Horse

Mr.. PREsIDENT-Ii gives me peculiar
pleasure, in the name of the Corpora
'iion, Faculty, aud Undergraduates of
Brown University, 10 welcome To this
ancient seat Of learning, the Chief
Magistrate Of The United States. |, has
not escaped the observations Of your
fellow citizens, that, while disciarsing
the duties Of laborious profession, and
londcd with all the honors which your
country has it in her power to bestow,
you have yet found lciZmrc to cultivate
The liberal sciences, and, with parental
care, to watch over The interests ef the
Colleges and University Of your native

august spectacle than that Of a mind

present energies Of mighty people,
and yet, with patriotic torc,hought,
guiding the dcstincs of the future into
the channels Of Intelligence and virtue.

I,y and constitutional laws We shall
he aratlied with the opportunity of cx-
hibI'ing To you the means by which pri-
vate huniticenco has enabled us 10 ac-
compllsh The oh cct or our foundation,
and to receive the benefit of your large
experience and mature wisdom. Allow

After which, President Tyler replied
in an exceedingly neat and pleasant
speech, expressive Of his qualification
at the ia,tcring manner in which he had
been received by the University, highly
complimentary both to the President
and the Institution over which he pre-
sides; then, turning to the young gen
l!emen, he spoke of the value Of public
education, expressed the hope that the
classes as they went forth would do
honor to the principles, TO the dissent
nation of which the College had been
consecrated.
About five o'clock, the President and
Suite, together with several invited
guests, sat down to a splendid dinner at
the Franklin House, which was served
up in Whitcomb' : very best style. lie
remained in the city that night, and left
early the next morning for Boston.
At the dinner, among other toas,s, the
following was given by the Mayor,
"We heath Of Me President of the
United .Sintcs."
lhc PRESIDENT, IN reply, proposed a.
toast,
"IHe State Of Rhode Island and
Providence Plantations independent,
from The frst-indcpendcm 10 Me iqsi-'
sorereism and independent Jorcrer."
1t appears to us that this toast was
rather iar-ietchcd, inasmuch as his Ac-
cidency did not consider tho little State
of Rhode Island hardly worthy Of his
notice last summer, when we applied
for assistance from The General Govern
ment.
