From the Baltimore Patriot Of
March 9nd:

mdfCu Suus
Yesterday both Houses Of Con-
gress adjourned over 10 Wednesday,
to enable members to visit the ship
this day. A great crowd Of ladies
and gentlemen went on board, inclu-
ding the President, Heads Of Depart
ment, and members OF Congress, to
the number Of six or seven hundred.
Although much crowded, / UNDER
stand, they had fine time, and re-
turned at an early hour.
The ship was to depart from New
York on Wednesday morning, but
it is rumored that the Postmaster
General has consented to allow the
mail to leave New York for Liver
pool on Monday, instead Of SaIur-
day next, and that consequently,
she NAV remain here a day or two
longer than was anticipated II so,
every body will have an opportunity
TO visit her.
The rumor, that Louis Napoleon
had made some rash demands on
our government, is still uppermosi
here, and creates great sensation. il
is said that a Cabinet Council was
convened on Sunday, on the event.
and that Mr.. Webster has been sent
for, to New York, and that he is
expected tomorrow. do not give
much credit TO it, but still il attracts
great attention, and is the topic ol
conversation in all circles. II there
is anv truth in it, the more OF such
warlike steamers we can mus.
ter, the better. II we are TO have a
war with France. let US be prepared
to enter the contest fully armed
with efficient sea steamers. They
will prove our most formidable cas-
ties of defence and offence. We
must be prepared to meet Monsieur
Louis Napoleon, not only on the
high seas, but at the cannon's mouth
at the entrance of his sea ports--a'
Toulon, at Rochambeau, al Marseil-
les, at Havre and at Brest, and we
must salute him with shOtled guns,
