The following is Secretary Woodbury's letter to a gentleman in Portland, announcing the President's change of purpose. We like Major Downing the best. By the way, Major D. says there are so many thick, black-whiskered, full-faced fellows about the country, stealing his name, that he only knows himself by a scar on his left arm:-
"Concord, 30th June, 1833.—Dear Sir—I regret to inform you that the ill-health of the President is such, connected with other causes, as to induce him to return immediately to Washington."
[Signed] LEVI WOODBURY.
