BALTIMORE, July, l846.-The undersigned have been
appointed committee to return the thanks OF the In
dependent Greys 10 the Citizens and Military of Phil
adepha, for the many acts of kindness and courtesy
shown them on their recent visit TO that city. In
saying to perform that duty, they must at once confess
uer utter inability to speak in terms sufficiently strong
| of the deep and lasting obligation under which the
corps they represent feel themselves indebted to their
friends there-language, if they attempted it, would
tal them and they must therefore content themselves
with mere acknowledgment of the cviliues, hoping
that an opportunity will soon be afforded them ofshew
ing their sense oil gratitude in substantial
| ner than in n mere expression of words.

tempt to parcularize any actOf courtesy; and it will
be sufficient for us to say that we will ever recur TO

cold, indeed If their efforts had not proved successful
We come now to home Our old friend, Capt. FL

To Lieut.. Luchesi commanding, and the lndepen-
dent Blues, are'our most sincere thanks due for the
handsome escort furnished on our return home.

the commencement of those civilities which ought TO

are aware that the duty has bcen very imperfncty
done. 1t is not strong as it might be, attribute it
not to ant of proper appreciation of the courtesies
conferred upon US, but want oflanguage to give
preston TO our true feelings.
