THE NATIONS GUEST IN PHILADELPHIA. At 15 minutes past 10 o’clock, the approach of Gen. La Fayette was an nounced by the acclamation and huz zas o SJifty thousand freemen and a grand salute of one hundred guns. The venerable Judge Peteis, who had ac companied the Barouche from frank ford, gave place on entering the field to Gov. Shultze, as commander in chief of the Military. This change having taken place, Gen. La Fayette entered the field, in his elegant Barouche dra wn by six cream coloured horses; and ! proceeded to the centre, where a num- j ber of invited guests awaited him. Soon after his arrival the General > proceeded to review the troops, accom panied by Major Gen. # Catlwalader, Gov. Snultae, and one or two other offi- ‘ cers, Gen. La Fayette leaning upon the , arm of Gen. Cadwalader. When the General had passed in front of the whole line,receiving the usual sa- ‘ lutesfi 8c nishing the review by noticing ! a neat company of Riflemen, the gen- , tlemen with him returned in order to j re-conduct him to the centre, hut be-: tween the extreme right and left some paces back, (we have already stated that the line was nearly a square,) of the soldiery, there was a deep line of citezens anxiously awaiting the com ing of the General, and loudly cheering him as he approached. The oppertu- j nity of conferring a favor, has seldom been omited by this good man, he there fore instead of returning; pressed for ward with eagerness, towards the citi zens, bowing and smiling in the most conciliating manner to their continued cheeis At length he discovered in the crowd, the gray hairs of a veteran La FAyette pressed towards him with eagerness—the people gave way, and the iranger, whose name we could not learn, enjoyed a hearty shake of the good mans hand, worth a seven years campaign As the General passed,j l continued cheers and huzzas were ut tered, good wishes and benedictions were poured forth by gratified thou sands. After the ceremony of the Review, with the usual military accompani ments, about 1 o’clock, P. M. the military took the line of march, recei ving, a: Kensington, its right resting on the bridge. The following, a3 ne.u as we can recollect, was the order of the procession. The advance was formed by major Gen. Cadwalader and bis staff—major Gamble, of the marine corps—the offi cers (mounted) of the Ist division, and others from the neighboring counties, among whom were distingushed the grey hairs and cocked hats of a tew se venty-sixers. Brigadier Gen. Patterson and staff, then headed the Ist division of Pensyl vania volunteers. It is impossible to do justice to the neat and soldier-like appearance of the troops on this occa sion—we heard several gentlemen of military experience assert, that they had never in Europe or America, ob served more precision in manoeuvres, or more imposing and martial appear ance in any equal number of soldiers. Next to the soldiery were three or four carriages, containing the Com mittee of arrangements, Sic. Then the “observed of all observers” the Nation’s Guest, in his Barouche, already mentioned, accompanied by Judge Peters. Several carriages followed,containing the Governor ot Pensylvania, Gover nor Williamson, of New Jersey, and Mr. G. W. La Fayette, and the Gen eral’s Secretary iti a baroUche and four. We understand the first troop and Har risburg cAvalrv forrttecl the guard. Following these were Upwards of one hundred old revolutionary soldiers, be longing to the Northern Liberties sea ted in three carriages; with appropria te motto’s and devices. —The interest excited by these veterans may be easi ly conceh ed. Then followed the civic procession headed by John Swift, Esq. Chief .Mar shall, with his aids. The first society was the Redmen, with their pecuher badges, banners, mottos, Bcc. about two hundred. The Printers, having in front a carriage han dsomely ornamented, in which were several of the craft at work, striking off impressions of an ode, written by James N. Barker, Esq. and distributing them to the spectatois. I"hen followed the Umbrella makers, the La Fayette Association, the Young Men of the Ci ty and county, the Cbrdwainers, the weavers, the Young men of the city be tween 16 and 20 years of age, the True Republican Society of the city and county, the Washington and Fayet te Society, the Rope makers, the You ng men of Southwark, ‘he Shipwrights ot Kensington and Southwark, the Young men mechanics, the painters, the German American Beneficial So ciety, the Coopers, the Butchers, on horse back, the Waggoners, Carters & Draymen on Horses, the citizens and Farmers generally, all in the order ori ginally designed, formed in line and re ■ viewed as he passed—ail were variou sly adorned with mottos and devices, j and provided with banners most appro priate for the occasion. To these succeeded the 2d Brigade, the Montgomery St Chester county , Volunteeis, and some companies pre j viously mentioned.-Several Rifle com panies and the elegant company of ca : valry from Salem, New Jersey, all on ! white hoises. The whole under Gen. Castor. In this order they moved for- I ward towards the city. In Kensington there was an elegant Arch erected with a lesser arch on ea ch side, the upper patt of the whole ’ was painted a deep green, and suppor ted upon handsme marbled columns. The whole was most tastefully decor ated, doing credit to the judgement St ; patriotism of our brethren in that sec tion: on the north front of the Arch, in letters gracefully anayed, were these words, “Welcome La Fayette”, and over the side arche9, a portrait of Washington and of Fi anklin. The east front exhibited these words— “ln Honour of La Fayette,” and over the side arches, the arms of the United States, and those of Penn sylvania, the whole surmounted by an; elegant eagle. Proceeding along front Street, another Aren was passed at the unction of Front and G reen Streets, with this motto, “May the star spangle banner of Columbia ever shield La Fay ette and welcome him to our shores.” When the procession turned from Green into Fourth street, the General was presented with a view of a tnagni ficient Civic arch, erected by the c.or poiationof the Northern Liberties.— This handsome specimen of the taste of the people like that at Keningston, con sisted of one main, and two collateral arches, the design of our ingenious fel low citizen, Mr. Strickland. The upper pat t of the arch bore in imposing characters. “A Nation's welcome to Freedom's Friend.” This Arch was mostly richly orna mented, and deserves a higher com mendation and a more particular des cription, than we can this morning give. Mean time it shall not be lost sight of. In Fourth street, at the junctioti of Vine, there was another handsome Arch, sprung across the street. This Arch was divided on both sides into 13 equal squares each, excepting the cen tre bearing the name of one of the ori ginal States. The centre, represen ting the key stone, had the Jnns of Pennsylvania handsomely painted up on it. Over the centre, on the north front was the likeness of Washington; on the south that of La Fayette, from which on each side was displayed me stan dard of the Union, the whole surmoun ted by the American Eagle. From the west side of the arch, waved the flag of France, and from the east that of the United States. Around the Arch, and over the names of tlie States was the following motto; — “7 'he sons of Freemen Welcome the Hero who burned to shed his best blood in the Glorious cause of Liberty."* The Arch lested upon two hand somely ornamemed pillais. That on the East bore upon its north front, a hand some figure with suitable emblems re presenting, plenty with the motto pros perity the result of industry. The Western pillar bore upon its noith front, a representation of Liberty, with the motto Liberty the result of Indus try. The South side ofthe pillars were ornamented with the names of the hei oes and statesmen of our Revolu tion. South of the Arch and adjoining it were two stages, one on each side, that on the east contained 24 lads, that on west 24 young girls, Each corresponding to the present number of States Wlien the procession first reached the Arch these children commencing singing “see the Conquering Hero comes.” And as the Barouche arrived the girls sung, an ode to ih<* tune of “strike the Cympala,” which with that prepar ed for the lads,shall be given tomoi row. As the Barouche passed, a salute was fired li om the U. S. ship John Adams, which had hauled opposite Vine street. At the corner of Fourth and Race streets another arch, neatly and tasteful.y decorated, was passed. This arch bore appropriate mottos. The Rrighls of Man, 1776. The Brave 8c Virtuous,such as welcome to the Na tion’s Guest; we delight to honor. This arch was surmounted by a living Eagle who seemed to survey die work below him as if he was conscious that he occupied a significant station. From Fourth the procession turned up Arch sheet. Here as betore eveiy window was filled and evei y eminence gained; Beauty, and goouness, ail join ed the welcome. * From Atch street the procession turned to eleventh, down Eleventh to Chesnutjon passing the house of Mrs. Robert Morris t e General rose and bowed towards the window of his early fiiend;do\vn chesuut io Eight down Eight to Spruce, down Spruce to Se cond, through the whole of which the same assembage of beauty, and fash ion cheered its progress; in pro ceeding up second and Chesnut streets, the ladies From the windows and balco nies renewed the goods mans’ w elcome. From observation we can say, that lit erally “Matrons flung their gloves, Ladies and maids their scarfs and handkerchiefs, Upon him as he passed *A pan of this motto was taken from a letter from the General to Do* H ouse of Representatives of the United States. And the commons made A shower and thunder, with their capSj and shouts: I never saw the like.’ 4 In front of the United States Bank were arranged the veterans of’ 76, be* longing to the city; in the rear of w hicly was a company of Mariners, with a band ot Music. When the Barouche arrived here, General arose ancj addressed a few words to his old com panions in arms, who stood uncovered and in the eyes of some. “The teat was seen to gather.” It was a most affecting view, ono that the pen is in adequate to describe. Passing the Bank, the General arri ved as the superb arch in Chesnut stieet We have already mentioned this example of our city’s taste in terms of commendation. We propose to morrow to give a handsome view of the arch, accompaned with a suitable des cription. Here the General alighted amidst the cheers of tl A t thousands assembled,, and passed through the lateral arch to the carpeted staging in front of the State House, thence into the Hall of Independence splendedly fitted up for the occasion. Here he was inttoduV ced to the Mayor by Mr. Lewis, Chair man of the Committee of Arrange* ments. The following is the address of the Mayor to the General. “General: The citizens of Philadel phia welcome to their homes the pa triot who lus long been dear to their heaits. Grateful at all times for the enjoy ment of a tree government, they arej on this occasion, peculiarly anxious 8 but unaide io express a deeep felt sen timent of pure affection towards thos© venerable men whose martial and civil virtues, under Providence have con ferred upon themselves and their des cendants this mighty blessing. Forty eight yeais ago, in this City, and in mis hallowed hall, which may emphatical ! iy lie called the Birth filace of Inde fiendence a convfemion of men, such as the world has lately seen, pre-emin ent for talents and patriotism, solemnly deflated their detet initiation to assume lot themselves the right of selt govern ment, and that they and their pos terity should thenceforth assert their just tank among the nations ofthe earth, a small but cherished band of those who breasted the storm and sustained the principles thus promulgated to the world still remain. In the front rank ofthese worthies, history will find, and we now delight to honor General La Fayette, whose whole life has been de voted to the cause of freeedom and to the support of the unalienable rights of man. General many of your compatriot* have passed a>’ ay, but the remem brance of their virtues and their servi ces shall nevei pass from the minds of this people; theirs is an imperishable lame, the pi operty of ages yet to come. But we turn frbm the fond recollection of the illusti ions dead to hail with heart felt joy the illustrious living, and again bid welcome, most kindly and affec tionately welcome, to the guest of the nation,the patriot La Fayette.
