THE RIVER. The river is still blockaded,
and this morning persons walked across it to the
Opposite shore--ice having formed on the track
made by the Aqua Greek steamers Of sufficient
thickness to bear them. The New York
steamer John Gibson, which was aground on
Port Tobacco shoals for some days, was got
off on Saturday last, and arrived up late that
evening She will discharge her cargo tor the
District of Columbia here. Two steam-tugs,
the Potomac and Katie Wise, left here this
morning, and made their way slowly down the
river through the ice, for the purpose of tow
ing up some vessels which were caught in
Washington's Reach. The Keyport, of the
Aqua Greek line, passed by here yesterday
morning, but had not returned when this arti-
Gle was written. The schooner Constitution,
which was caught near the bluff, aoated up
with the ice on Saturday night, and is now on
the fats opposite this city. Her crew were in
an uncomfortable condition-having neither
iuel nor provisions, and unable to reach the
shore-unti this morning, when one OF them
risked, and successfully made trip to this city.
The Kennebec on Friday, and the Columbia
on Saturday, cleared at Baltimore for this
port, but neither have as yet arrived.
