Our knowledge of the geography and topography of the American continent has been rapidly extended by the labor and science 6f the officers of the United States army, and discoveries of much interest in distant seas have resulted tho  terprise tf the ilsvy. ; In 1807 a survey of the coast of the United t-'tates was commenced, which at that time it was supposed no American was competent to direct.

A feeling of delicacy seemed for a moment to have arrested her steps—a consciousness that she had now no right to enter the chamber of Napoleon; but in another moment, all tlio pent-up love of her heart burst forth, am), fafgetting every thing in the fullness of her anguish, she threw herself upon the bed, cldsped Napoleon's neck in her arms, and exclaiming, "My husband* my husband !" subbed as though ller heart was breaking. T|io jrnpoiiul spirit of Napoleon was for tlio moment entirely vanquished, and ho also wejit almost convulsively. He assured Josephine of his love —of his ardent and tindying love. In every way ho tried to sooth o and comfort her, and. for some time they remained locked ,in each other's embrace. The attendant was dismissed, and for an hour they continued together in this last privato interview.

While the country has beon expanding in dimensions, in numbers, and in wealth, the Government haar applied a wise forecast in the adoption of measures necessary, when the world shall no longer be at peace, to maintain the national honor, whether by appropriate displays of vigor abroad, or by well-adapted means ofdefence at home. A navy, which has so often illustrated our history by heroic achievements, though restrained in peaceful times in its operations to narrow limits, possesses *) its admirable elements tho means of great and sudden expansion, and is justly looked upon by the nation as the right arm of its power.
