[undecipherable] It was [undecipherable: whispered?] yesterday that the President had left town after [matturely?] deliberating upon the measure with his two favorite [Counsellors?]. They [undecipherable] [undecipherable] Councillors. Where did [they?] advise him to go, if one may ask? To Northampton, [Montgomery?] in [undecipherable] County, he visit [Dives?], or [Hasney?] or [Getman?]. No. To see Doctor Logan. Beyond [hops?] — [undecipherable]. Did the Blues parade? The President dislikes the military [undecipherable] his volunteer corps. Did, the Republican militia, parade? The militia dislike the President. [undecipherable] Did any of the new army parade? The [Generals?] have [orders?] [undecipherable] without consulting the President. Worse and [undecipherable] without [undecipherable]. What does all this mean. Surely the [undecipherable] [undecipherable] to [the rest?] of [undecipherable] [Prince?] cannot have [lost?] the confidence of [undecipherable] and [undecipherable]; see how [it?] of the Federalists. We [shall?] [just?] buy and bye. But will not his two counsellors bring him [right?]. Perhaps, They are very [undecipherable] — 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] [undecipherable] causes [to?] go by way of [Lancaster?], [undecipherable]sylvania and [Frederick?] town in [undecipherable]found, which is [somewhat?] [closer?] than [undecipherable] 0 miles about — and then he may return by the way of Annapolis and Baltimore, and [undecipherable] [receive?] with 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 [undecipherable] [undecipherable] back? This [undecipherable] visit, at this particular moment, must be very gratifying to the people of [Maryland?]. I hope he [intends?] [undecipherable] horse-back. No, but the blues and [classes?], of his chance will be kept down, that the [for?] good people as are [folded?] in any age, as the Poet has [undecipherable] it, 'son [dur?]tete, et ses grandes yeux.'
