| took great pleasure in communicating to you,
a few hours ago, the fact that VIM. Fl. Polk, Esq,
brother TO the President, on hearing Of the land
ing of Paroles, instantly resigned his commission
as Charge d Afaires to Naples-the most agree
able chargeshp in all Europe-in order to solicit
military appointment at the hand of the President


The latter appointed him Major of Dragons,
and on Thursday, the I'd of September, Mr. Polk
will start to join Gen. Patterson for the seat Of
war. On the lst of September he was to sail
with his bride-a rich heiress-to France, but he
elected TO serve his country in the capacity of a
soldier; preferrng the post of honor to the atrac
tons of one of the most brilliant courts of Europe
This is an example worthy of imitation, and may
well serve as lesson TO that throng of empty
hearted "patriots" who nre always ready to serve
the countrY-in a ciuik capacity. IL
