General Lafayette,—Copy of a letter of Gen. Lafayette, under date of 29th of March, 1826. at Paris, to a gentleman of Washington:—
"We are anxiously waiting for the arrival of two New-York packets: I hope they will bring me something from you. At all events, I will know what is going on at Washington, and other parts of the United States: it is food to my mind, a consolation to my heart, which has become more than ever necessary to me. I am happy to think the Panama Mission is now on its way. I believe it of high moment for the welfare of South America and Mexico, for the prospect of mankind, and for the dignity of the people of the United States, that they may preserve and exert the moral influence to which they are so justly entitled."
