vcyor Andrews was cordially greeted by the General,
when spirited and cheerful conversation took place
General Scott expressed the hope and also the oonvic
tion that speedy and honorable end would soon be
made to the present difficulties betyeen England and
the United States.
When the steamship arrived pier 81 North river il
was quite dark; but, notwithstanding, there was quite
large crowd Of persons assembled, anxious to bcetow
cordial greeting their returning avorte neither did
the bitter ccid prevent them from waiting upon the pier
for the space OF two throc hours. good deal of
Speculation was ndulgcd in by those persons the
probable for the sudden return Of General Scott
and the most ridiculous and pAposterous ideas put for

Others agreed that he back for the purpose Or
again Offering his services the government in minor
capacity in this her hour Of deepest trouble Whatever
the cause may be for return, the former conclusion
seems, at present, to be the moro correct one.

the lanterns which suspended from the gangway
the crowd at once recognized the General when cheer
