At last our military proceedings against Ave move with more

activity. General Godwin is carried up the river, that he may dignify with his presence those energetic measures which, it seems, Captain Tarleton would have effected before if he had not been pre- vented. It is to be hoped that the countenance of the General will lend a venerable splendour to the glory that might have been taken at an earlier day and without so much ceremony. The final re- sult probably will be the same. Routine, however, will have been preserved. As a man cannot receive certain titular distinctions without having attained a proper rank in the army, so now, it appears, he cannot venture upon an achievement without he holds a commission of a very ancient date.
