O i ai riving "ff the Baltery,tbe scene be- ga>eil description. The military, making a noble appearance, foi med-the line with a heavy battering train. The ramparts and parapettif the Castle were fined' with spec tators—the -Flagstaff and evpry eminence arid place filled with well-dressed per»ons. 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 City Hall. Tho stores were, all .closed, and the streets filled to overflowing; the windows Were gfaced withthe beauty of the ci’y, ing their handkerchiefs as the Vener- able suldier, passed, AfteYthO ceremonies, the Gmera.l, to gether with the Corporation and Cincinnat-. fi, dined at the City Hotel. ■ in all this fatiguing ceremony, General La Fayette sustained himself with the most amiablir and'corui.d frankness, delighted, asjie must have been, at a reception sponta neous ;u<d hearty on all sides ;.a reception 1,1 which speaks voiufries in favor of free gov Count Mt>den, bearer of despatches in the R ssi i)i <;flvrnment arrived in the ftjfctew ai Wifw Y-urb. ETTE It was truly a jubilee—a more 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 did Ball in the Thsa'tre next^week, after the lashmn of the Greek Ball, jvhicjr will rive time for the ladies to reach the city born: the springs and watering places. * • [From the Gazette.] 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. At sun8et.M,'Gunther-8cqtupfroii) CaS' tle G tiden his balloon, representing the famous ho'ge Eclipse, mounted by an an cient knight in armor, and the, effect upon the assembled thousands was announced by general and animating huzzas, Among other dernonatrations of public joy. we were particularly struck with the un-Ypected illumination of the £ity Hotel Mi Jennings is entitled to very great cred it—u is another instance of the spoptane ous expression of veneration and respect The windows of the second story exhibited the well kno.wn name in variegated lamps, and attracted^, during the. whole evening crowds of gay and joyous citizens to the . contemplation of this animated spectacle. 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 al wak at the moment on the piazzi' of the Vice Presidents house, and this singulai coincidence being remarked to him, he ob, served, ” this day has been Tull “of happy omens to me in arriving among those who have-treated me with so much unmerited kindness.” v AUGUST 18 [From the Mat.

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 12th, 86'eral merchants, and a great num ber ofyouftgnien left this 2 P.'M. in car riages, gigs, and on horseback, to go out ana meet Monsieur La Fayette at Harfleur, {6 miles from Havre.) and accompany him into town. The Amei i«in Consul, and all the American gentlemen, and captains of ships in the harbor, intended also, paying that compliment to the General: but the Sans Prefet notified to the Consul, that the Americans must not do so. ^ “ Tne road for two miles out of town continued crowded from ,3 in the afternoon till dark, when no tidings of the General having come, the .people returned into town, where they remained in groups all the eve ning.
