[undecipherable] It was whispered yesterday that [undecipherable] the President had left town after maturely deli-[undecipherable]berating with his two favorite Councillors. They [undecipherable] in my sagacious opinion [undecipherable] Councillors. They [undecipherable] Where did they advise him to go, if one may ask? To Northampton, Montgomery — [undecipherable] to [undecipherable] County, he visit [undecipherable], or [undecipherable] or [undecipherable]. No. To see Doctor Logan. Beyond hope — purhaps. Did the Blues parade? The President dislikes [strikethrough: the military, volunteers, the volunteer corps]. Did, the Republican militia, parade? The militia dislike the President. [strikethrough: X] Did any of the new army parade? The Generals have [strikethrough: arisen] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] consulting the President. Worse and [strikethrough: went] without [undecipherable] him. What does all this mean. Surely the [undecipherable] cannot [undecipherable] — to the [undecipherable] of [undecipherable] cannot have [undecipherable] the confidence of [undecipherable] and [undecipherable]; see how it [undecipherable] of the Federalists. We shall [undecipherable] by and bye! But will not his two councillors bring him [undecipherable] him right? Perhaps, they are very [undecipherable] — wise, wise, wise, deep deep deep! He is gone to the Seat of Government. Is he to remain there? Don't ask — I know too much. I suppose he will visit Mrs Washington at [undecipherable]. It would very surprising if [undecipherable] — [undecipherable] and very surprising [undecipherable] — to some persons. When [undecipherable] road [undecipherable] [undecipherable] goes by way of Lancaster [undecipherable] [undecipherable]sylvania and Frederick town in [undecipherable], where is [undecipherable] [undecipherable] miles about — and then he may return by the way of Annapolis and Baltimore, and [undecipherable] which is little less than another 50 miles out of the straight course, and do more than General Washington ever did when President, render himself quite at home at all the gentlemens houses in his route. Does he intend to come back? This [undecipherable] visit, at this particular [undecipherable], must be very gratifying to the people of Maryland. I hope he [undecipherable] horseback. No, but the blues and [undecipherable] of his [undecipherable] will be kept down, that the poor good people [undecipherable] in praises; in any age, as the poet has [undecipherable] it, [undecipherable] son deruteta, et ses grandes yeux. --- [docket] Propositions by the Secy of Treasury for a discussion of the Naval business. --- Navy Department 1^st.
