Hundred* of boats and wherrys surrounded
the Battery, and the General, with several
officers, left the Chancellor in a barge com
mantled by Cap'ain Rogers, of the navy,
ami l.mded it Caatle-Gaiden The shouts
ofthe multitude reverbe *ted along shore;
the artillery fired a salute.; the band- struck
op a lively air; and with much difficulty,
the General found his way into the center
of,the fortification. Here he remained
some tiipe, and from the pressure, we could
not wjtness the ceremonies; but ‘saw him
subsequently in a barouche, escorted by m
squadron of horse, go up Broadrtay to the

in all this fatiguing ceremony, General

asjie must have been, at a reception sponta

general holiday than the. Fourth of July
Business was suspended,stores were closed,
and the streets thronged with well dress
ed people. ■ <
[’he Corporation had chartered the
.Chancellor Livingston steam boar to re
ceive the Getter^, together with the Bel
Ions, Connecticut, and Uiiver Ellswurlh.
These steam boats, deem ed elegantly with
fl,tgsa <d streamers, were joined by the
Nautilus and Olive Branch, thus inak ng
an elegant aqu itic escort, as they were all
filled with ladies and gentlemen,'and each
boat had a fine band of music on bnatd.
The day was clear, cool and pleasant, and
about ten o’clock the ^tearn’ Boats left the
North River,and sailed round'the Battery
to the Navy Yard, where they were joined
by the splendid steam ship Robert Fulton,
dressed with the flags of different nations
—her yards were manned with about 200
seamen of the Constitution, who made an
etgeant appearance—a battalion of marines,
under the command of. Major Smith was
on board, with a baud of music, together
with several NavaJ Officers, and the whole
escort moved majestically down the river
and Bay. The Chancellor came to6 at the
wharf on Staten Island to receive the Gen.
Ob board the Chancellor was tb* superior
Baud from West Foint, which Capt. Center
brought- down early yesterday morning.
The village of Castleton was Crowded
with persons,?nd in a short times bar iuohe,
containing the General, his sun, and the
Vice President, drove to the landing The
spectators formed a line opening to the
eight and left, the veteran General march
ed d>'W» with .his hat in hand amidst the
cheera of spectators—and passing under a
triumphal arch formed by the American
and French fltgs he entered on board (he
stearnTmat.Chancellor Livingston, and was
received by'the Marines of the U. States
with military honors. The Band, ,on his
arrival on board, struck ! u,u the popular
French air of "Ou peut on t>tre mieuat.” to
gether with "pee the conquering Hero
comesy the”Mursdlais Hymn,"one!•* Hail
'Columbia.” Heie he was presented to the
Members of the Corpo ation, and several
Naval and Military Officers, and intny
ladies. The stekm'sbip fi ed a salute, aod
the whole got under way for the city. A
more noble and ga'lant sight was neve
seen; the Bellonu and Olive.Branch, fasten
ed each aide to the Cadmus, the ship which
brought the General from France,the whole
decorated with fla<pi and filed with passen
gers moved,up tlie Bay—the Robert Ful
ton leading tne way followed by the Chan
celior, the Oliver Ellstvorth, the Nautilus,
and the Connecticut—the sea sm oth and
placid, and the air pool and agreeable.
The most interesting sight was the re
ception of the General by his old compan
ions in arms? Colonel Marinos Willett,
emments, and all. who, aid in establishing
and perpetuating ihe rights of man.
It will isquire several days for the Ger^
eral to sea every thing with the delibera
tion necessary, and without tatigue. <
The amusements wilt, df course; be vari
ous. The Park Theatre "Will open some
nighjj this week; and we learnMhat it is
contemplated to give the General's splen

the lashmn of the Greek Ball, jvhicjr will
rive time for the ladies to reach the city
born: the springs and watering places.

The day w.is closed by a pleasing., vari
ety pf exhibitions in the evening at our
places of.public resort,,and judging front
the preparationa made for the occasion, we
have no doubt ot the eclat with which each
were expended. It was only .in our power
,4o visit a single place of amusement—Cas-
tle Garden. Here we were delighted with
the company of thousands, composed, of
the beauty and fashion of tho city. The
rockeia and music were various and plea
sing, such as were due to the occasion, and
which' reflected credit op the proprietors.

The windows of the second story exhibited

crowds of gay and joyous citizens to the

Among the omens auspicious of the arrival
ofthe revered La Fayette was'that of a
rainbow formed subsequent to'the shower
of Sunday the base of which rested on Fort
La Fayette, and completely enveloped it
in a most brilliant effulgence. The Gener

E.MBARKATIOM OF OEM. LAFAYETTE
AT. HAVRE.
By the Don Quixote, which arrived here
yesterday, we received the following ac
count, from an eye-witness, of the arrival of
Gen. La Fayette at Havre, and hi* embark
ation onboard of tlie Cadmus. How mean
were the, vexations thrown in the way of
the old veteran, and those who wished to
do him hortor, by the little .tyrants of the
Police. And what a proud contrast do ihe
events of the. present week in New York,
afford, when compared'with the former.
In the one place, the patriotic herq is al.
lowed only to quit the country of his birth,
and for which he' has so of'ett bled, amid
contqniely anJ insult, because through evil
and through good, report, be has shown
himself the firm, consent and unwaveiv,
ing friend of rational freedom. In the
other, fin-: those very qualities, he is receiv
ed amid the joyous shouts hnd aCclama
lions of one hundred. thousand freemen,
wnich are responded by ten millions more
—all striving toriyal each other in testimo
nials of affection, gratitude and-esteem!
••'As it was expected,that the General
would arrive early hi the [afternoon qf the

And hearts that beat in bosoms free, .
(Gems by unerring wisdom set,)
The living monument shall be ;
Of freedom’s champion-La
