Those who know the Vo lunteer companies of Savannah, will know this is no hollow compliment. As the boat reached the shore, the ex citement on every feature increased. A line was then formed from the landing place on tho wharf, fac ing inwards, composed of| the Mayor and Aldermen of the city, the i Clergy, the Judges and Officers of the Dis trict Court, the Superior Court, and the Court of Oyer and Terminer of the State, the Union Society, Deputations from the Hi bernian Society, with their badges and ban ner, from the St. Andrew Society, with their badges, and from'the Agricultural So ciety, with their badges, an ear of rice in the button hole, and citizens. As the steam boat passed Fort Jackson, she was boarded by the deputation from the Committee of Arrangements, who continued on board.— Tho boat now came up in gallant style, fir and gentlemen who accompanied the Gen eral to the city (the Governor being prevented from accompanying them by its constitution) were Col.

As the time of the expected arrival approached, the in terest proportionably increased. The sta ges and packets, particularly from the South, were crowded with passengers We have before noticed the arrival of the Cavalry from Darien and Liberty. On Friday evening all appeared tu be in a buzz of expectation, and numerous parties were collected in almost every spot on tho Bay and elsewhere, every one with n face of pleasure and expectation. Tho General was expected at seven uext morning—and the city, at an unusually early hour, was hushed, all apparently having gone to rest betimes.to be ready to receive him betimes. At half past live o’clock on Saturday morn ing by a signal from the Chatham Artillery, Lhu military wore warned to repair to their several parade grounds. The battalion line wss formed ut if o’clock, soon after which,-there being no appearance a f the iong’d-for Boat, the troops piled their arms, and were dismissed, until the arrival. At daylight the French and American Hags were hoisted on the Exchange steeple.— The Revenue Cutter Gallatin, Capt. Mat thews, in the course of the morning was also decorated with flags. The merchant vessels were decorated in the same mannor. On the Bay. on eacli side of tho entrance to the City from under the Bluff' were pine ed two French brass pieces, one of n liicli, we are told, was received in this country by the same vessel which brought over Lafa- yet'te—they wore manned by a company of masters of vessels and others who volun teered solely for the occasion.

These were followed by the different socie ties and citizens us we have enumerated them in the reception nt the wharf—after these caine oilier detachments ofthe Ca valry corps—Field officers of the regiments —officers of the army and navy—company officers of the first and other regiments, followed by the United States’ troops of this station, under Lieut. Monroe, & the mi litary of the city, under their several com manders, and closed by a uniformed corps of boys. When the procession commenc ed moving, a third salute was fired by the marine corps which we have heretofore mentioned. We should not forget to men tion, that the seamen who rowed the boats in which tile General landed, accompanied the carriage in which he was seated, with the flags of their boats.

They wero immediately re ceived by the General, to whom the follow ing address was delivered by the Mayor: “ General— “ The citizens of Savannah receive you with the most grateful emotions.

But ] ^11 to the cuuso ot an inlant and an ahen j°y enough. Welcome, General—Welcome— thrice welcome—to the State of Georgia.” To this address, the General in a low voice, evidently affected by his feelings, de livered the following reply, slightly marked by the French accent “ The kind invitation I first received from your Excellency, and which, on the meet ing of the General Assembly, was bestowed on me by both houses, in terms most grati- fying^ould not but confirm my eager re solution to visit the state of Georgia. This state, sir, I bad not the good fortune to serve on its own soil; but, while our more northern movements were not unconnected with its safety and rescue, I have long been attached to it by my sense of its patriotism, suffering and exertions, by personal obliga tion, and private affections. Permit me here to express a regret at the rapidity of my happy visit through the several states. The celebration ofthe greatest of all birth days at the seat ot the general government, could not he omitted ; and although I have been obliged to sacrifice the motives of pro priety, and the feelings of personal friend ships, which culled ine to witness the i people, resisting oppression in a most uue qual and fearful conflict. “Iu the history ofthe war of the revolution, your arrival upon our shores, constitutes a highly important, era.

The diuner of the citizens, which was prepared at four o’clock, owing to the late hour nt which General Lafayette arrived, was necessarily delayed. It however took place at seven o’clock, when the company sat down in the Council Chamber, which wus prepared for the occasion, with arches, branches, &c. of which we shall have occa sion to speak hereafter. It comprised t profusion of substantial fare, and every del icacy of the season. The company, inclu ding the guests, were at least three hun dred in number. The Mayor presided, as sisted by six Vice Presidents. Among the guests were General Lafayette, Col. Francis Huger, George Washington La fayette, Monsieur Le Vassier, and the officers who accompanied the General, viz. Major Generul Youngblood, General Ged<les.,Cols. Keith, Butler,Chesnut, Brown, Clounie, Fitzsimnis, and Taylor, Majors Hamilton and Warley, Capt. Moses, ami Messrs. Bee nnd M’Chord ; there were also present Col. Murat, General Stewart, and Capt. Rees. In the centre window back of the seats ofthe Mayor and General Lafay ette, appear'd a transparency, representing General Lafayrftte, over which was a scroll inscribed “ He fought, for us.” In the op posite window Washington, inscribed in like manner, “ The Father of his Country.” The centre window in front, presented an allegorical transparency representing monument, surmounted by a bust of Lafay ette, on one side Liberty, on the other His tory, presenting a tablet inscribed with the dates of the arrival in America of Lafayette, of his appointment as Major General, of his being wounded nt Brandywine, and that of the surrender at Yorktown.

Lafayette expressed his acknowledg ments, for the affectionate welcome lie had the happiness to receive front the citizens of Savannah, aud particularly for their honor able and so very gratifying toast; after which he begged leave to offer the following sen timent. “ The City of Savannah—Aifd may her young prosperity more and more show lo the old world, the superiority of Republican Institutions and self—government.” 5th.
