The PREsIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, &C
companied by several members of his family,
arrived in Washington this morning.
The PRESIDENT was detained several days al
Old Point Comfort in consequence Of the dan
gerous illness Of his grand child, and the indis-
position OF one of his daughters, whom he de-
sired to conduct in person TO the White Sulphur
Springs.
During the detention Of the PRESIDENT from
the city, by the serious illness in his family, an
i~,.,snsr amour, or letters. &c have aoonmu
lated on his hands, to which he will doubtless
devote his constant attention for several days.
We would respectfully suggest to the citizens
from distance, now in the city, who are de-
sirous of having their business with the PREsI-
DENT promptly despatched, to submit to him 10
writing, whatever they may desire of him, ac-
companied with such memorials, testimonials,
and other document, as they intended to pre-
sent in person. BY such means their matters
will surely be attended to promptly; whereas il,
may be some days before audiences can be OBJ
tanned by those having business to transact Of a
personal or private nature.

Five Democrats aud four Wings. In the last Con-
gress, the State was represented by five Democrats
and eight Wings. And yet this is trumpeted forth as
Wing victory The only drawback TO their exul-
tation seems the political martyrdom Of the gallant
Stany, who had promised TO conquer" his district
He has been defeated in his own native county, and
IN section, too, where his eminent father once pos
sessed irresistible influence, and from which he
was successfully returned for number of years.

an interesting account of his descent of the river ST.
Lawrence, from Kingston to Montreal, in a small
steam schooner on the Ericsson principle He de-
scribes the scenery the route the most beautiful
that the imagination can depict. At one place in the
Cedar rapids, the water said to run at the rate of

Mr. Potestad gave notice Of his arrival on the Itb
and on the 18th delivered his credentials to the Min
istcr Of Foreign Affairs, and on the next day was
presented to his Excellency, the President, who re-
ceived him with the frankness and kind beneyoenoe
due TO Minister Of our ancient mother country and
to person as frank and estlmable as he whom the
Spanish Cabinet with so much prudence, have Sc
lected.
The good dispositions Of our Government, and the
symPathies which form his personal character, Mr..
Po,esiad has already begun to merit, presage happy
advancement to the Spanish legation, and promise
that the relations Of two nations, who had common
origin, will be each day more aud more extended for
their benefit and happiness.
