ROMANCE OF THE HISTORY OF LOUISIANA
Mr. Gayarre, the author, has kindly presented us
a copy of his new work by the above title Judging
from the very hasty glance we have as yet been
enabled to bestow.upon it, we should imagine 1t 10
be book of great literary merit. No one under
stands the history of Louisiana better than Mr'
Gayarre, and we know none more capable OF elu-
cdatng the subject in all its various aspects. Not
having as yet given that attention to the book
which deserves, will not at present enter into
an elaborate review of it; but when we have read
it, we shall take great pleasure in again recurring

There was immense concourse of people out,

Philadel phia on the afternoon of the 18th. He was
received by the City authorities in manner worthy
of his services in the cause of his country. The
military turned out in large numbers on the occa-
sion. We have seldom, says the Pennsylvania,
seen fuller or more spirited parade. The General
looks sunburnt and somewhat older than when he
left the ease of Philadelphia life for the rough

that they could do without New York, if they dared
to abandon the democratic party. Mr.. Morse, Of
