The minister Of the interior has been deputed to
reply to the resolution in favor of peace. The
minister says that the king, in his reply, reue-
family perceyes in these addresses an absence of
that devotion which characterized the Breslau ad-

majesty replied to it as fitting answer to all the
addresses.
The king, adds the minister, expects, in view OF
growing dangers, the unconditional devotion of
his people.

PETERSBURG A SUBURB. The great city
of Alexandria, in this State, reioiccs in the
possession of suburb named Petersburg" -
probably so called in honor Of the gallant Cock
ade. Feeling a natural interest in regard to
the history, condition, prospects, Nc, of cur
namesakes wherever located we invite some
information concerning this suburb from our
friend Of the Gazette.-RtersJug Express.
Petersburg is a collection Of shanties,
erected during the war, on the ground between
the northern end Of this city and the canal
locks, and is inhabited b. negroes, who having
ran away from their masters, focked here
from all quarters Of the South. It is a disrep
utable place, and reflects 20 credit upon its
prototype, delightful little Petersburg"

WASHINGTON This day sixty-seven years ago
General George Washington, the commander
of the Rebel insurgents in America, having
achieved the great object of his lie, died, at
his home, Mount Vernon, honored and re-
