Extract of a letter from Strathspy, in Scotland.
The spirit of emigration has reached this country; for on
Tuesday se'night about 200 persons rendezvoused at Aviemore,
and marched off for Greenock, where they are to embark for
America. Among these unfortunate persons was a woman of 83
years of age, on foot, with her son before her, playing
Tullichgorum, on his bagpipes; Some of them had children of
a month old, which the fathers carried on their back in a
skull or wooden basket.
