FROM ENGLAND.+‘-'-By ‘an arrival at
N. York, on the 1st inst. London papers to
the 26th July are received. .

Advices from Madrid were to the l4_th Ju-
d’Oubriel, Minister front B05513, 31"
rived there on the 10th, said to be the bearer
of iiistrtictions which will establish perfect
harmony between alltlle Foreign Ambassa-
dors, on all the impoi'tant.questtons to which
the sittiation of_'Spain has given rise. It was ex-
pected the Spanish war and Finance minis-
ters would be immediately dismissed. A mes-
senger had just reached Llondon from Mad-
rid, with important despatclics.

Despatches frotii Cape Coast to May 12th,
had reached England. The Ashatitees had
ptished their successes nearly to the Gardens,
four miles from the Castle, but no apprehen-
sions were entertained of an attack. Some
further reinforcenients were expected, when
it was intended to give battle to the natives.

The Paris Constitutional states that the
Coiiimissioiiers from Hayti are only two in
number, onea mulatto and the other a black.
M.~Esm-.iu ard has been appointed to nogo-
tiale wllll tiem. -

'1‘heFrench government demand ofHayti an
ackiiowledgnient oftlieir own supremacy, and
the possession of Turtle Island and Fort St.
Nicholas, with twelve leagues of territory, in
return for the zfcknowledgnient of the inde-
pcndence of Ilayri, besides the payment of
1,300,000 franks for those who suffered by the
tevolution.—Etoile.

The Medical Adviser attributes the death of
the king and queen of the Sandwicli Islands,
to the prevalence of wet weutlier, and the
moist atmosphere acting ifpon their ltings.

Government has given orders for every at-
tention and respect being shown to the re-
mains of the late,K'ing and Queen in their
conveyance to Owyhee, for which purpose
the Bloritle frigate, Lord Byron, is ordered to
receive them, together with the Admiral and
suite, and proceed to that Island.

The King of Portugal cotitiiities to act with
moderation. The Queen gave a grand hall
where more thati 800 of her own atid her son’s
friends were assembled. It is said this fete
was given to brave the atitliority of Govern-
ment ; but the day following all those who
in ere present were temporarily exiled from
Lisbon. The King has issued a ‘circular to
all the Portuguese ministers at the difi'erent
courts of Europe, announcing his intention to
give a constitution to his subjects.

CAPE Cossr, AFRICA, Harcli 31.
‘life are in a coiisidemble state of alarm
here. and do not know at what lioitr we. tnay
not be attacked and all butchered. Our a-
larm is necessarily great when we reflect on
the disaffected state of our army. An officer

. arrived here at head quarters from the camp

at Derraboassey, with despatches from Capt.
Blenkarne, (who is in command of our allied
forces) stating that Appra, the principal tia-
tive cliief,in whom we have hitherto had the
greatest confidence, had left him with all his
forces, (of whom the greater part ofour army
consisted) and crossed the_Boosiimpra in ad-
vance, although Capt. Bleiikarue has had pos-
itive ordcrs not to cross, the Ashantee force
being by far to'o great. He lius also beaten
Capt. Blenkarne’s messengers, who were sent
to reuionstrate. We cannot therefore expect
much from such an army.

On the 29th, Lietit. Erskine arrived here
from thecauip, having been wotiiidcd in the
thigh tlierday before in a partial engagement
with the etiemy across the river; there were
also two privates wounded.

lVe learn from an intelligent officer, who
lateiy arrived from the cauip, that the move-
ments of the Asliaiitees are conducted in the
most masterly manner, and Capt._Blenkar_ne,
although aware that they are within 25 miles
ofhim, has no conception of their exact posi-
tiou or oftheir force; in fact, it is not unlike-
ly to presume that the enemy are keeping a
division oftlieir army on the opposite border
ofthe Boostinipra merely as a feiiit to draw
the attention ofthe whole of otir forces, who
are there encamped, and in the mean time
the greater part of their army are making
some counter inovetneiit to fall upon some
defenceless part ofthe colony; atid it is now
confidently reported, that. they are meditating
an attack on Accra or Auamaboe, both of
which places are at present capable ofinaking
little or no resistance. -

Mr. Williams, the Colonial Secretary, is
the only survivor of those who were missing
after the battle of Assainakou, where Sir C.
M’Carthy was killed; he has been brought to
Eluiina Castle, and given tip to the Dutch
Governor. He is recovering fast after his
many sufferings.

LONDON, July E‘.0.—Letters front‘ Mexico
to the .°27th of.\Iay have been received. .The
loan was unhesitatingly confirmed by the Ex-
extitive Power. On the 14th May two ban-
(litti were executed at Mexico, one of whom
acknowl-edged that he was the man who inur-

’ dered Mr. Crawford. -

At Brussels, on the 16th July the Ther-
mometer stood: at 94.

The Government of Cochin China has
made a great step in the progress of intelli-
gence, by opening to the commerce oflltrrope
its principal ports, which have hitherto been
closed to strangers. The customs and duties
are fixed at a very moderate rate. The French
have profited by this opportunity, to introduce
into that country a great quantity of arms.-
Cocbiu China carries on a considerable coin-
iuerce with China and other cotititries ofthe
East. Europeans, who are not in direct rela-
tion with China, may now receive thence all
the productions and mercliandize ofChina.

’ [London paper, July 12.

LONDON, July 9.3.-—We were glad to learn
yesterday from a sotirce on which we cati con-
fidently rely, that Ministers do not entertain
the slightest apprehensioii of the occurrence
of any circumstances which would impose on
them the necessity of abandon-‘rug their pres-
ent pacific policy. There are, no doubt, dis-
cussions now pending respecting South Amer-
ica, but it is expected they will terminate in
an arrangeirient which all the powers will a-
dopt, Er_i_g»land as welias the Holy Alliance.
If Haiioverians be sent to Portugal, they are
to be on the usual footing of Swiss o_r German
capitulation troops, and England is not to be
in any manner responsible for the cost oftlieni.

A new Company, to be called the “Cana-
dian Compaiiy," is now being establislied, to
possess a capital of £1,000,000, in 10,000
shares of £100 each. The committee state
that a charter will be granted, and that gov-

liament for an act,ofincor'poi'atiorl. The fol-
lowing are the objects of the’ Confpaiiy, as
stated in the prospectus :— - '

I. To piirchase portions ofthe Crown and

ployment to etnigrants on their arrival in Ca-
nada. 3. To prepare, byblearing the lands
and by btiilding houses, &.c. for the settlement
of persons and Eauiilies to whom the lands may
be sold or let,- as may be agreed on. 4. To
make advances ofcapital, in small sums (un-
der superintendence, at the legal rate of in-
terest in the colony, which is six per cent.) to
such settlers on the lands ofthe company, as
may require it, withholding the titles till the
advances are repaid, as well as the price of
the latids. 5. 'I‘o give iti this country,to per-
sons intending to emigrate, information re-
garding the lantls ofthe company, and to fa-
cilitate the transmission of their lunds,but not
to interfere with the conveyance ofemigrants.
6. To promote the general improvement of
the colony, whether it be in making inland
communications, connected with the lands 8:.
interests ofthe company, or in extending the
cultivation of articles ofexport, such as flax,
hemp, tobacco, écc.

Mrs. Hannah Moore, it is said, is in a very
declining state ofliealtli.

Madatne Catalani has concluded an en-
gageuierit at Drury lane. She stitig 3 songs
per night for 6 iiights, and received frotn Mr.
Elliston £800 or about £44 per song !

The Pope has proclaiiued to the people of
Spain a year of clemency for spiritual offen-
ces. He cotnpliiiients the Spanish Clergy-
although they are not all equally entitled to
that notice. .

On the 27th May,the Pope caused the gen-
eral Jubilee for 1825 to be proclaiuied. It will
coinnience on Christmas eve, this year and
continue lfimontlis. This event is of every
925 years recurrence, btit political circumstan-
ces prevented its general celebration in I800.

GRBECI-2.—-Tile Greek government has de-
creed that none ofthe loan obtained in Eng-
land shall be eriiployed to cover former ex-
pences or accounts of whatever nature they
may be; but that the whole amount of the
loan shall‘ be exclusively dedicated to the ad
vaiicemeiit ofthe nation, and be employed in
part to supply its future wants. The Ionian
government has prohibited the landing ofthe
money on any part ofits territories.

It is stated that the divisions among the
Chiefs in the Morea, have been altiiost entire-
ly healed, private feelings and interests being
nobly suspended or stifled by the patriotic nio-
tive ofnniting. for tliedefence of the country,
against the common cnetiiy. ,

A letter from ’I‘ripoliza, dated June 6,says.
“I am just setting out with M. ,—,—-, who‘ is
the bearer of letters from Colocotroni to his
son at Napoli de Romania‘ containing positive
injuiictiotis to deliver up that place to the
Grcekgovernnietit.——Coloco‘troni hiuiself,Pic-
tro Boy, and a few others, leave this place oti
the 12th, for Missbloughi, to make their peace
with the governuient, and offer a cordial co-
operation for the couiinon cause.”

Advices from Alexandria assert that no pre-
parations whatever are making for’the embar-
kation o'ft'he threatened Egyptian expedition ;
that the corps which Could be embarked does
not exceed 8000 men, and that, besides, it was
never really intended to send this force to the
IVIrirea, but to Candia, which the Paclia of.E-
grypt is endear.-orit_1g do conquer for himself.

A letter from Zante ofJune 16th, after sta-
ting that the Turks had succeeded in throw-
ing a reinforcement into the Isle of Eubtea,
and in re-victualling Negropont; and that an
Austrian brig was to sail frotn Leghorn ladeti
with provisions for the Turks at Patras, and
70,000 double piastres for the Paclia ofEgypt,
which was destined to corrupt Coloctroni and
some other Greek Chiefs, adds, that the latter
notice “ afforded a clue to a conspiracy hatch-
ed at Missolonghi by Caralcysos, who coin-
uianded part of the garrison of that place. A
seizure was made ofa correspondence which
he kept up with Jussuff Paclia, in virtue of
which 3000 Turks were to make a sortie froui
Lepantn, and take possession of Missolonghi,
which the traitor would have surrendered to
them. The day was fixed, and advice thereof
had already reached Patras, when a post of
300 Greeks, stationed at the defile of Mount
_'I‘apliias or Kaki Scala, seized the despatches
of Caralcysos, which were iniinediately sent
to Mavrocordaso. The latter dispatched forth-
with reinforcements towards Kaki Scala,lcav-
ing Caralcysos, who never suspected that his
letters had been read, to make a favorable re-
ply to Jussufi'Pacha. Three thousand Turks

they were assailed with. such iuipetuosity that
very few ofthem regained Lepanto. Cara!-
cysos is in-prison. M. Blaquiers has received
advice front the Comuiittee of Phil-l-Iellenist
Society ofLondon, of the early arrival ofa
frigate destined to set on fire the Turkish fleet
which is expected upon the coasts ofthe Mo-
rea. The vessels of Hydra, Ipsara, and Spam-
zia, are ready to put to sea. The intrepid
Constantine Canaris is on board the Admiral’s
ship. Forty thousand Greeks in the ,Morca
are preparing to oppose themselves to the Ot-
toman forces, whose object is to make them-
selves masters of Navarin in order to winter
there.”

Latefrom Gibraltur.—Capt. Gifford, ofthe
brig Minerva, left Gibraltar on the 22d July.
He brought no loose papers. He reports that
2 Spanish merchant ships arrived on the 20th
from Havaiia. They had an engagement
near Gibraltar, with a Buenos.Ayrean priva-
teer, which they beat ofi", with very little dani-
age to tlieniselves. A U. S. schr. hadjust at.
at Gibraltar-—ner name we did not learn.-—
Capt. G was inforuied by intelligent persons
at Gibraltar, that Spain was in a very unsettled
state, and news ofa revolution in that country
was daily expected.——-Mere. fldv.

Mr:xico.——-The government of Mexico was
apprized of the conspiracy in behalf of flur-
bide, early in May. On the night ofthe 18th
ofthat month, the autl'rorit'ies entered a house
and took into custody twenty-two individuals
who were holding a secret meeting, ‘and in a
manner so effectual that ‘not one escaped.-—
All their papers, documents, proclamations,
£'.\*.c. were at once taken possession of. The
individuals taken wcrel brigadier general, 8
colonels, several otlier military officers, and 6
civilians. The examination of these led to
the arrest of Don J. Antonio Auidrade, Gen.
of Division—‘C'ount del Valle, and a clerk in
the Post Office, through whose agency a cor-
rcspondence was carried on tliro’out Mexico.

out in open rebellion, but were general y sub-
dued in tlielnontliofJuue, and the leaders
imprisoned at Mexico. _ .
It was on the faith and promises of tlielse
conspirators, ii’o doubt, that Iturbide was in‘-
duced to return _to Mexico in the manner that
has been related ; and it seems that he must
have landed at Soto la Marina in total ignor-
ance ofthe downfall of his friends. The result
has been fortunate for the peace of Mexico.

The National Gazette states that the Mex-
ican Cougress have decreeda pension to the
wife and family oflturbide of‘ 88000 peryear,
but forbidden them_ to reside in the republic.

A letter from an intelligent geutlem’an,da-
ted Alvarado, 1st August, says-

“ We received yesterday the news that I-
turbide wasshot on the 19th ultin‘io—-‘-a'ii' event
which has gratified every well-wisher to this
country. You may judge by this how far the
spirit ofrepublicanisin has taken root. Crown-
ed lieads may maintain themselves in Europe
by tneans of bayonets, but here in the New
World they arejustly consigned to the worms.
This happy event, and the total destrtiction of
the factiosos, in the province ofGttad‘a“laxara,
where all the ringleaders have been shot, as
you will have seen by the papers, (among them
a German Baron Von Roscniberg,) will insure
internal tranquility. Generals Bustaniante
and Quintaner are prisoners in Mexico,await-
ing their trial; they no" doubt have misled I-
ttirbide to this foolish step, and will meet with
their reward. General Bravo (who really has
proved himself a second Washington) will
take the Presidential chair on the 1st ofnext
month. 'I‘lie law made, as to elec ion, and
time ofa President, has just been cq ied from
that of the United States.

By a passenger in the schr. Dorotliy,(ivliich
arrived at quarantine a few days since) from
Tanipico, we are informed‘ that letters from
Ca'tnpeacby had been received there stating
that thetraitor Santana, who had been sent
by the tV_IexicanGovernment to take command
of the Province ofYucatan, had secedcd from
the Mexican Union and had made an arrange-
uieiit with the Spaniards by whicli the trade
with Havana was again opened.—Lou. fldv.

Successful Cruizc.—-Tlie Colombian Na-
tional schr. Gen. Santander, Capt. Northrup,
arrived in the Chesapeake on Saturday, in
Q6 days from Porto Cavello, and last from a
cruize of29. days on the Cuba coast. Capt. N.
and his piirser, Mr. J. D. Quincey, have arri-
ved at Norfolk, and fuiiiistied the following
particulars of her fortunate cruize :-

“ Oti the 10th Aug. in the Florida channel,
fell in with a fleet of four vessels under con-
voy of the French brig of war.Genie, Capt.
Botirdais, of 18 guns. Capt. Northrup had
previous ititiniation of a fleet of Spanish ves-
scls being out, and from circumstances sus-
pected this to be the same. He accordingly
hoisted a flag for a negotiation with Captain
Bourdais, and sent his first officer oti board
the G. to ascertain the character of the fleet
as well as to learn front Capt. B. ifit was his
intention to protect thcui—the officer return-
ed with Capt. B.’s answer that “they were
French.” Capt. N. however, still having his
donbts,run along side ofone oftlicm and ask-
ed what flag she was under? who returned for
answer, “Spanish,” which was accordingly
run up, and then struck at the comtnaiid of
Capt. N. who immediately took possession of
the vessel, which proved to be the Barbaretta.
This happened about 22 o’clock, P. M. and the

fere, Capt. N. next manned his boats in pur-
suitof another of the fleet, a sclir. formerly
the Tom ofBaltimore, which they captured :
at 6 o’ciock he came up with the Spanish brig
Noticioso, of 10 guns and 45 men, which also
surrendered. These prizes Capt. N. manned
and ordered for Porto Cavello. The approach
of night prevented his capturing the fourth
vessel. On the afternoon ofthe next day the
Gen. Snntander captured the Spanish felucca
Ligero, from Matiinzas bound to Cadiz, with
a cargo of coffee. The stem of the Gen. S.
being very loose, having also carried away
her fore and fore topsail yards; her sails like-

froui proceeding with the fleet, and he was
therefore compelled to bear away for this port
to repair his vessel.

During this short crtiize the Gen. S. has
captured 15 guns, (mounting only 5 herself,)
with 3 fine vessels, (2 ofwliicli were Guinea-
men bound to the Coast of Africa,) and made
1920 prisouers.——.Merc. ./Jdv.

Haaoic AFFAIR.-—Tlle following account
of the re-capture of the brig Frederick, of
Stonington, from the Pirates of the Pacific,
exhibits one of the most brilliant feats we ever
heard of. We understaudthat when the Fred-
erick arrived at Callao, the owners -were so
tiiucli pleased with the gallant conduct of
Capt. Burrows,that they immediately presen-
ted him with the suiii of 35000-—Merc. fldv.

The Frederick, Capt. A. H. Burrows, was
captured on the 20th Dec. near the port of
Quilca, where she was bound, with a cargo of
dry goods. Capt. B. relates the circutnstance
as follows :—At 10 P. M. the Frederick was
fired into by an armed brig, and I ordered on
board with my papers. After getting on board
and being closely examined respecting my
vessel and cargo, they took possession of my
vessel and transferred the crew to the priva-

southward for Moulaendo, where they inten-
ded discharging tnycargo ; but the next mor-
ning, when nearly abreast ofthe port, saw a
ship standing in which they took for a man of
war, when the privateer and brig hauled off
frotii the shore.-—Tlie_ captain of the privateer
then told me that he should send my brig to
the island of Chiloe, and ifI chose to go in
her, and she arrived safe, that after discharg-
ing my cargo,lie would give tiie up my vessel.
Thinking there might be some chance of’ re-
covering her, and knowing that if llcft her
[should not get her again, I chose to remain
by her, and after much persuasion I prevailed
on him to let tiie take my son with me——but
he would not consent to my taking any uiore
of my crew. After plundering my vessel of
about $12,000 worth ofdry goods, rice, rig-
ging, and such other articles as they were
then in want of, they put a prize master and
nine men on board, and ordered us to make
sail for the island of Chiloe. Sootgafter leav-
ingthe privateer, I learned that her name was
the Kintanealia, capt. Mattalena, from the isl-

taken several English and Patriot vessels,
some of which they had burnt, and sent the

' in the middle of the day, atid then ordered

.1" alsti learned that capt. Mattaléna had forni-
erly been an officer under Beiiavides, and had
lie,‘-Idfgl a gang in taking the American brig
,H§|'§'l|3p at the island of St. Marys. From
this information, and his conduct in plunder-
;_Itig my vessel, I had no -reasonto expect get-
ting her again, unless I took her by force,
‘lrlilcll 1 determined to do whenever a favora-
ble opportunity should offer. I then loaded
my pistols, also tli_ose oftlte mate which Iliad
taken care to stow away on my first arrival on
board, from the privateer. Ithen informed
my son_ of my intention, and ordered him to
hold htniself in readiness. After being in
possession of the captors 7 days, we succeeded
in re-taking her, drove the Spaniards below

thetii on deck one at a time, and tied their
hands behind theni,asI had noirous on board
to secure them with. I then shaped my course
for Callao. The next day I put seven of the
prisoners in a whale boat, with provisions and
water to last them to the land——the other 3
I took with me to Callao, where I arrived two
days afterwards, and delivered the balance of
'17)’ “"30 to the former owners. Two days
all!" my arrival, the privateer appeared ofi‘
the harbor ol'Ca‘llao, and the U. S. schr. Dol-
Pllm. Capt. Cotinor, and the Dr. frigate Tar-
lafi Cfll-it. Brown, made sail in pursuit of her,
but night coming on, she made her escape. A
short time after that, the crew of a oFren'cli
ship arrived in their boats, having been cap-
tured a little to the leeward by the privateer,
who had taken from the ship 860,000, inan-
ned and ordered her for Chiloe. On the 24th
0f M‘*)’s_8 few days before the Frankliii left
V?lP*‘-'3'-S0. the. Kintanealia arrived there a
P7120 to a, French sloop of war, who had cap-
tured her ofi"Qitilc"a,. She had‘ been to Chiloe,

had l“"d‘3il,l‘€|' lltobpy, and was then on her
second crmze.

(PE:-Z-d_LA FAYETTE AT CAMBRIDGE.

_ itor ofthe N.Y.Statesman, who was
Presetit at t,‘ e anniversary of the Phi Beta
Kappa Society of Harvard‘University, held
on the sort: tilt. gives the following interest-
tug sketch ofthe proceedings orvtliat day :

At about P2 o’ciock La'Fayette’s arrival at
the seat of the Moses was announbed by the
shoots of congratulation which aftend him
wherever he goes. The procession consisting
of between S.’ and S00 brethren from the Al-
phas at Harvard, Dartinotith, Yale, and Uti-
‘lOl‘l, being the largest number ever convened
on any occasion, fortned at the Society’s Hall
and moved to the church. Gen. La Fayette
occupied a conspicuous place upon the stage,
surrotinded by some ofthe most distinguished
men _in our country. In the absence of Dr.
P‘"’F'V3li Who Was appointed the poet ofthis
anniversary, lint was tinable to perform, the
Rev. Henry Ware, of Boston, on a notice of
only a few days, voltiiiteered a poem, which
was received with much applause. It was in
the form ofa dream; among the other visions
ofglory which flitted before the eye ofthe
seer and enkindled the enthusiasm of his gen-
itis and fancy, was Gen. La Fayette, forming
one ofthe principal characters in the great
drama of the revolution. The oration. of
Professor Everett, an the peculiar motives to
literary eflort in" this country, was a brilliant
perforniance, being about two hours long, atid
embracing a wide range of thought. His great
object was toiirovc by_ argument and by facts
drawn from history, that free governments are
in all respects most favourable to the devel-
opement and patronage of intellect, genius
and taste. The concluding part of the ora-
tion, adapfed to the occasion, and addressed
to Gen. La Fayette, appeared to us a master
piece of eloquence and pathos. There was
not an utitnoistetied eye. in the liotise, if our
own were not too much diniuied to see others
distinctly. The General himself was melted
into tears, atitl his feelings were entirely o-
verpowered. At the close ofthe exercises,
the company returned to the Hall and sat
down to the Society’s dinner, at which Judge
Story presided, with La Fayette on his riglit,
and a host of great men around him. For
two or three hotirs the corrtiscations of senti-
ment and wit flashed through the hall, and
kept the table in a constant roar. '. The Gen-
eral gave several sentiments, one of which
was a quotation of a line or two frotii Cicero,
applied to the orator ofthe day. This prompt
quotation from a Latin author proves that the
General, among his other attainiiients, isa
classical scholar. The following are_selectcd
from the toasts given on this occasion.

By Judge Story. Our distinguislied guest
La Fayette. He reads his history inpa na-
tion’s eyes. _

By General La Fayette.—Tlie Holy Alli-,
ancc of virtue,’ literature and patriotism, is
more than a match for any coalition against
the rights ofmankind.

By Governor Eustis. Literature, the gem
that decks otir civil Instittitioiis.

By the late Govertior Brooks. Letters ;—
the Alpha and Otiiega of humati excellence.
Education makes the man.

By Judge Story. The Orator ofthe day.
A proud example ofthe art he teaches “ Insig-
nis spotiis opimis iitg-redifur ./l!arc_etlus.”

By Mr. George Washington La Fayette.-—
Tlie happiness I feel in being in a free country,
where great recollections and great examples
remind me ofthe duty ofa patriot’s son. .~
By the Mpyor.-—-Genius. Whose dreams
by night are real visions of glory by day.

By Mr. Wallenstein. One heart and one
voice to bless the benefactors, to wliotn we are
indebted for the pleasures ofthis day.

By Hon. W. Sullivan. Minerva, Apollo,
and the Muses, who have done themselves this
day so mticb honor in their homage to Mars.

The absent Dr.Percival. He has put poems,
but to day he has put a poet,——to press.

American Poetry. None the worse for Ware.

La Fayette. Thrice welcome to the scene
ofhis early glory: May he now say,

“ Where Liberty dwells, there is my
country.”

Mr. Webster gave a sentiment from Burke,
prefaced by some remarks of his own, which
was received with bursts ofapplause.

. BOSTON, AUG. 80.

The reception of General La Fayette, on
the heights of Charlestown, on Friday last,
was peculiarly impressive. No one could re-
sist the feelings excited by the spot, where the
first regular anti decided resistance to the Br.
power was made by our Fathers, and where
so much noble blood wasso gallatitly shed.-—
These feelings appeared to be shared‘, in a high
degree, bytlie General. This procession nio-
ved tlirotigli Salem and High streets to the

mount of niouey on board, taken frcltii them.‘

Dr. A. R. Tliompfon, of the Coniminee of
A_rrange_trients, delivered an appropyiaté ad.-
dress to "the distinguished Guest.

Tothis address the General replied in this’
following words :

holy ground where the blood of American
ptitriots-—tlie blood of Warren andbis com-
panions, early and gloriously spilled, aroused
the energy oftliree millions, and secured the
ha_ppiness often uiillions, and ~ofman._v_ other»
millions ofnien in times to come. That blood
has called both American continents to .re-_

Such have been the effects of a resistance to
oppression which was, by many pretended‘
wise men ofthe times, called rasliness:-' while
it was dnty,—virtue ;—‘and has been a signal
for the emancipation of mankind. ‘. '

‘After the. review, Gov. Brooks, President

ofthe Bunker Hill Monument Association,
introduced it rleputatiou of the Board ofDi-
rectors to the General. On- being informed
that it was intended to connnemorate the Fif-
(ieth Anniversary, (next June) of Bunker Hili
Battle in a manner worthy ofthat great event,
the General was pleased to say that ifhe
then should be in the United States, it would
be his earnest desire to be present, and to
uianifestvthe sentiments which he should feel
on that interesting occasion. '
Yesterday Gen. La FAYETTE attended tit"-
vine service at Brattle-square Meeting house,
where he heard a sermon from Rev. Mr. Pal-
frey. He then went to Quincy to dine with
the venerable anrf patriarchal John Adams.‘
The meeting between him and Mr. Adatns
was interesting beyond description. The iii-
terest excited among the people of Quincy
was intense. They crowded in numbers to
witness the interview between one of the fa-
thers of the Revolution and one ofits best
Soldiers.

Grand Jllilitary .S'pcctacIe.—0ii Monday,
the 50th, all the troops of Boston and the ad-
jacent towns were paraded on Boston Coin-
tnon for review : the imposing sceiie'exhibit-
ed mi the occasion is tluis described by the
correspondent ofthe N. Y. Dai. Advertiser :
I “ my ft)ic.t_id led nl1((3fllllYOllgl(; tbq] Cl'0\|\'(l,
cou not ' ut reiiiar ie oo or er tiar-
prevailed among a great paigt of tlie;asseui-
blage. 'Whenever I looked lliro’ the ‘shore-'
less sea of human heads’ I saw ten thousand
chosen robes and glittering gems that had”
been obtained an‘,t_i,-‘treasured up for such it
bright summer day as this. And when I had
passed the line of sentincls by which the un-
privileged crowds were kept at the very bor-
der of the Hall, and the long row oftents pre-'
pared for feasting the six thousand troops, on
parade ;. ttie wl(;o[le scene 0p_el)((; I atfiogce up}-I
on my sig it,an was surprise \to n it so
more brilliant than I had before imagined.—--
The undulating ground afforded various points.
ofview, and sometiuies elevated us considera-
bly above the ordinary levcl. The line of
tentsstretched far away on both sides, and

their equipments, seemed to have increased
four-fold. The throng ofspectators also were
now seen to occupy many a distant space I
had not noticed before ; and as I followed the
more distant objects with my eyes, new groups
of gazers appeared on house tops and balcon-
ies, and in choice and commanding situations
I had never dreamt of.

The State House had assumed an appear-
ance of unwanted gaiety; fortlie portico and
windows were clustering with ladies, and the
broad steps, the court yard and the descent of
the hill presented-at that distance a confusion
ofbright hues like a bed of party colored,flow—
ers. The weather was deliglitful’hot a single
cloud to be seen, and the air was warm and
pleasant. The sound of bells, the frequent:
vollies ofsniall arms, now near and now dis-
tant, with occasimial pcals of artillery, produce
a bewildering effect on the mind, well accord-

there was a never ceasing, restless flitting of
gay colours and happy faces tlirottghont the

green spread out ininiediately around us.-—.
Glytiipses of the distant landscape were ‘here
and there caught above-—but nearer objects
claimed our immediate attention, and I soon
found tiiyselfin the Governor’s marque, in the

tinguislied men, among a crowd ofahovc 19.00
persons,just sitting down to table to the music
ofa fine band. ,
The tables were repeatedly cleared and fill-
ed again, till it was estimated that no'less a
ntiinber than six thousand persons had parta-
keii ofthe repast. Slialll venture to repeat
the estimate I have heard ofthe whof-e iiuinb-
ers assembled to witness the parade ? One
hundred thousand! Icannot credit it; and
et they say that more than that ntitiiber,
which is double the amount ofthe population
of Boston, were assembled in the city the day
ofthe Geueral’s arrival.
Military tnanozuvres were renewed on the
Couimon in the afternoon with rerloubled ac-
tivity; and certainly the display ofgood dril-
ling and habitual discipline spoke uiticli in fa-
vor of both ofiicers and soldiers. ‘They went?
thro’ all the difficult and couiplicitted move-
ments in the field book with readiness and ac-
curacy ; and often showing their lines in very
striking positions, as they advanced to ‘the
mock battle at quick step : maintained the
fight awhile,and then retreated, dispersed,ral-

marched, wlieeledand showed their nodding
plumes in one compact mass as they retired.
Gen. La Fayette overlooked this scene of
gaiety from the corrimanding situation ofthe
Subscription House, where, 2151 have men-
tioned before, are the lodgings prepared for
him by the Corporation of Boston.

Such is the feeling which pervades all clas-
ses, that it has become a. post of no small con-
sequence and respectability, to drive the Gen-,
eral’s carriage. Tliat- office has been perfor-
med ever since his arrival here,by Mr. Homer,
a man ofgreat respectability,-— and in possess-
ion of an estate of40,000 dollars. -
