The favorable reports recently received
from the upper rivers have dwindled
down again to q decline. The river here
has risen in the last As hours TX inches,
and from the pleasing intelligence the
packets bring in, we should judge that
the river, generally, was in q better con-
dition. They report no boats aground
landing was lively all day. The arrivals
and departures were liberal, and should
the river rise only q few inches, business
would open very active.
