By A VISITER.— The memory of Napoleon. His 

 misfortunes are proofs, that public opinion must triumph. 



The General and suite reluctantly parted from the 

 agreeable State in Schuylkill, and its happy population, 

 but not until the sun had long sunk in the West. 



Copy of a letter of invitation to General Lafayette, sent 

 pursuant to instruction, the day preceding his visit. 



" Dear Sir, 



" The Governor, Council and Citizens of the State 

 in Schuylkill, understanding that yourself and suite pro- 

 pose to favor them with a visit at their Castle to-morrow, 

 have requested me officially to express to you the high 

 gratification your presence will afford them. 



"As Caterer of the day, I have the honor to bid you 

 all a most hearty welcome to our ancient establishment. 



With the highest respect. 



Your obedient Servant, 



WILLIAM MILNOR, Jr. 



Sec'ry. of State.'" 



GENERAL LAFAYETTE, 



July 20th, 1825.
