Is sorry for anxiety caused over the "Affair on the Battery." A meeting of
the officers of the brigade was held on the proposed nomination of persons to captains'
commissions who are now in the ranks. The measure to appoint a committee to remonstrate
to the Council of Appointment was opposed as being an interference with the authority of
the governor. A company of Democrats is forming in the sixth Ward and now numbers about
40. The old Regiment has less than 1/3 its complement because it is commanded by
Jacobinical officers. Peter was yesterday admitted as an attorney of the Supreme Court;
the examination for the Mayor's Court might interfere with his plans to go to
Albany.
