M r. fAdpms, then, with much dignity, but [with evident emotion, delivered, in a [clear, distinct, and very impresgive man- faer, the following : ADDRES^. , ^G fner . - al L. a PAVETTh: It pas been jibe good fortune of many o f raiy distin- Iguished fellow-citizens, during the course of the vear now elapsed, upon yiour arri- va! at their respective places of pbode, to ,reet you with the w-elcome o f the nation. The fess pleasing task notv devolves upon Be, of bidding you, in the* name of the lA'ation, .Adieu, It were no longer seasonable, and IvoiiM be superfluous, to recapitulate the Ir.’ma’-kable incidents of your early life— Ikculents which associated your pame, for- Lc^, and reputation, in imperishable con- (neaon with the fhdependtfice tod Histo- jrv of the N o r t h A m e r ic a n U n io n . The part which you performed at that I important juneturp, was m atted with ebaracters so peculiar, that, realizing th^- fa res! fable ofantiquity, ite parallel could scarcely he found in the anlhenlfsc records {2/hng»\ \\ •-.•■■ I You deliberately and perSeveribgly pr^ ^erred toil, danger th ^ endurance of every irddiip, anJtlie privation of etfery com- brt, in defence of a holy cause, to inglo- ^ous ease, and the allurements,of rank, affluence-and unrestrained youth, at the hOr welfare. By him the servjces o f a national ship’were placed at your ^spo- sal. Your delicacy preferred* a more pri vate conveyance, and a year has elapsed since you landed upon our shores. It were scarcely an exaggeration to say. that it has been, to the people o f this Union, a year o f uninterrupted festivity and epjoyni®iit» it|gpired by your presence. You have traversed the twenty-four states of this great Confederacy. You have been received with rapture by the sund- vnrs of your earMest companions in arms. You have been hailed as a long absen* parent by their children, the men and tlv women o f the present age. And a rising generation, the hope of future time, in number surpassing the whole population of that day when yon fought at the head- and by the side of their fathers, have vied with the scanty remnants o f that hour o. tilaM n acclamations of joy in beholdin}.* ♦he mce of him whom they feel to be tht common benefactor of all. You haw heard the mingled voices of the past, the present, and the future age, joining in one universal-choriis of delight at your ap proach ; and the shouts o f unbidden thou sands, which greeted your landing on the soil e f freedom, have followed every stei of your, way, and still resound like tl*. pushing of many waters, from every cw- ner of our land. ^ You are now about to return to the country, o f your birth, of your ancestor? of your posterity. The Executive Gov- erirraent of the Union, stim u lated by th* sam e feeling which had prompted th( Congress to the designation of a nationa' ship for your accommodation in cornin' hither, has detained the first service of a frigate, recently launched at this Metrop olis, to the less welcome, but equally dis tinguished trust of carrying yon home.— The name of the ship has added one mor<- memorial to distant regions and to futun ages, of a stream already memorable, at once in the story o f your sufierings and oi our independence. The ship is now prepared for your re ception, and equipped for sea. From tht moment of her departure, the prayers o: millions will ascend to Heaven that her passage may be prosperous, and your re turn to the bosom of your family as pro pitious to your happiness as your visit to this scene o f you*r youthful glory has been to that of the American People. Go, then, our beloved friend— return to th|e land o f brilliant genius, of generous sentiment, of heroic valor; to that beau- tifh l F ranO e , th e n u r s in g m o th e r o f tht. Twelfth Louis, and the Fourth H enry: to the native soil of Bayard and Coligm, of Fenelon and D ’Agoesseau. In that illustrious catalcume o f name^ which sht- claims as her dmdren, and with honest pii«?e up to the adnuratron o other nations, the name o f L \ F ai FTTF. has alrtadyTor centuries been en rolled. And it shall henceforth burnisi. into brighter fam e; for if, in after dayt,' a Frenchm a n shall be called to indicat- the character of his nation by that one in most splendid and fascinating Court of dividual, during the age in which we live delight, have most satisfactorily evinced the concurrence o f the people in the kind testimonies, in the immense favorft bestow ed on me by the several branches of their represehtatives^in every part, and at the central seat o f the confederacy. Yet gratifications stftl higher awaited me— in the wonders of creation and im provement that have ipet my enchanted \ye ; in the onparafleled and self-felt hap piness of the people, i^ their prosperity and insured security, public and private ; in a practice o f good prder, the append age of true freedom; ahd a national good -ense the final arbiter o f all difficulties ; I have had proudly to recognize a result of ♦he republican, principles for vtluch we liave fought, and a glhrlotis*5demonstra- 'ion t o the most timid, and prejudiced minds o f the superiority,, over degrading aristocracy or despotism,fof popular insti tutions, founded on tne plain rights of man, where the local rights of every sec- ' ion are preseryed under a constitution al bond of union. The cherishing ’of hat union between the states, as it has been the farewell entreaty of our great paternal W ashington . , and will ever have he dying prayer of evpry American Pat riot, so it has become the sacred pledge of the emancipation of the world— an ob ject in which I am happy to observe that The American people, while they give the animating example of successful free in- jatitutions, in retura for an evil entailed ipon them by Europe, and of which a lib- ■ral and enlightened sense is every where more and more generally felt, show them* elves every day more anxiously interes- :ed. And now sir, how can I do justice to my deep and lively feelings for the assur ances most peculiarly valued of your es- eem and friendship; for your so very kind references to old times, to my belov ed associates, to the vicissitudes of my iiie ; lor your affecting picture o f the bles- -ings poured by the several generations uf the American people on the remaining -lays of a delighted veteran ; for your al- iectionate remark?, on this sad hour o f reparation, on the ri'utitry of my birth— .uli, I, can say, of American sympathies of the hope so necessary to me of seeing a- gain the country that jhas deigned, near •naif a century ago to c|aD me hers. I shall content myself, refraining from superflu ous repetitions at once before you, sir, and this respected circle, to proclaim my cor dial confirmation o f evyry one of the sen timents which I have idaily opportunities aitillory, surrouflded by many citizen&rall eager to catch the last lohk as could, press on the large wharfy and at 4 o ’clock, thih great and gdod, and extraordinary man trod for the last time ibhe soil of America followed by the.blessings o f every patriot- heart t b it livek bn it. As the v essel moved offi and for a short time after, the, deepest silence was obser ved by the whole of the vast multitude that lined the .shore. The feeling that pervaded them was that o f children bid- ding’a f i i ^ farewell to a venerated pa- rent.

Gen Jarvis, an American, a young man of 28 who has been in Greece over three )’ears. is the Gen. whom I am with, in the capa city of Aid de Camp. Jarvis is a man of principle, and as brave as a lion. W e have been under marching orders for at tacking the Castle o f Lepant, nearly three w e e k s; bat the delay of the ‘payment of the troops; has detained us, till I have the satisfaction to see an American ship an chor in the harbor, the Romp, of Boston, Capt.

Ours by that long series o f years in which you have cherished us in your regard.— Ours by that unshaken sentiipent of grati tude for your services which is a precioo- portion of our inheritance. Ours by tiia,' tie of love, stronger than death, which has linked your name, for the endles age? of time, with the name o f W ashington -. At this painful moment of parting from you, we takecomtbrl in the thought, that wherever you may be, to the last pulsa tion of your heart, our country will be ever present to your affections; and a cheerful consolation-assures us, that we are not called to sorrow most of all, that we shall see .your face no more. W e shall indulge the pleasing anticipation of beholding our friend again. In the mean time, speaking in the name of the whole People o f the United States, and at a loss only, for language to give utterance to that feeling of attachment with which the heart of the nation beats as the heart of one man, I bid you a reluctant and affec tionate farew ell! ^ T h e General listened with deep atten- tipUi and at the close o f the Address, em braced the President in his arms, saluting him m French manner, on each cheek.— H e then replied in the following term s: Amidst all my obligations to the Gene ral Government, and particularly to you sir, its respected Chief Magistrate, I have most thankfully to acknowledge - the op- portiinity given me, at this solemn and painful moment, to present to the people o f the United States with a parting tri bute of profound, inexpressible gratitude.

It vasa scene at Once solemn and moving ; .s the sighs and stealing tears of many who witnessed it bore testimony. Having recovered his self-possession, the General stretched out his hand$, and was in a mo ment surrounded by the greetings of the w hole assembly, who pressed upon him, each eager to seize, perhaps for the last time, that beloved haqd which was open ed so freely for our aid, when aid was so orecious, and which Wasped, with firm and, undeviating hold, the steel which so bravely helped to achieve our deUver- anc6. The expression which now beam- fed from the face of thi$ exalted man was o f the finest and most touching kind»— The hero was lost in tfiefather and friend; dignity melted into subdued affection, and ;he friend of W ashington seemed to lin ger with a mournful delight among thq sons of his adopted cot)ntry* A consider able period was then occupied in convers ing with various indjividuals, while re freshments were presented to the compa ny. The moment oLdepature at length arrived, and having once more pressed the hand of Mr. Adapis, he entered the barouche, accompanieid by the Secreta ries of State, of the Treasury, and of the Navy. Thef carriage o f the , General, preceded by the Cavalry, the Marine* Corps, and daptain Edward’s Rifle Corps, and follow ed by the carriages containing the ewpo- rate authorities of the cities of the Dis trict, and numerous military and high civil officers p f the governmrat, moved forward, followed by the remaining military com panies. In taking up tne escort the whole column moved tfifoUgh the court in front of the President’s Mansion, and paid him the passing salute, as n e stood in front to receive it. The whole scene—the peals of artillery, the lanimating sounds of nu merous military band's, vthe presence of the vast concourse of people, and the oc casion that assembled them, altogether produced emotions n(|)t easily described/ but which every Anojerican \will readily conceive- human appearance I must have been a lost man. if I had not found in Jarvis a countryman andfriend. He speaks French Italian, German and Greek, and bos wit nessed all the transactions of foreigners in Greece for three yearsr. He left New- York at ten years of\~age and his father now resides in Germany. 1“ entered the army immediately as a volunteer under bis command, and I have now served in it more than three months. I have travel led over two hundred miles in Roineli, and the Mfirea, and by the. help of Jarvis' and an English missionary, whom I es corted through the Morea, have been a - ■ ble to converse with many people in re- ous and political con- On reaching the bank of the iPotomac, near where the Mount Vernon steam ves sel was in waiting, alj. the carriages in the procession, except thh General’s wheeled off, and the citizem; in them assembled on foot, around that o f the General. The whole military body then passed him in review, as he stood inthebatbuche o f the President, attended, by the: Secretaries of State, o f the Treasure and o f t h e N a y y . After the review the General proceeded corns of the country. They are all ea.ger for instruction, and are transported at .the sight of a tract «u^a bible. The peasant ry are virtuous'dnd ipodest, the merchants canning, deceiptful and intrig.iling, the- soldiers are brave, patiept, and strongly attached to liberty. 'I have given away several thousand of tractsl which I re ceived of Mr. Temple, at Malta, to citi zens officers and soldiers- They are much pleased with reading these feathers, as they caD them ; and I have frequently passed thfough^he camp and seen one of the soldiers reading a tract, with ten or twelve others listening to hear him. Superstitioq^ is loosing ground in Greece, hiany of the Priests are begin ning to preach on the Sa|)bath, and many of the people to eat tneat in Lent. The Priests, as far as I have been, able to learn are generally mpral, but devoted to the dogmas of their church. “ The Greek women are modest, hand some, and virtuDusi The estonishing e x amples exhibited here of the morms by those Pranks who have come from Prance, Italy and Germany, have led the Greek females to shun a foreigner, while in his Frank ccJstuihe, almost as much as a Turk. Schools are beginning to be established in all the principal towns and villages. A Mr. Edward Masson, a gentlem an, from Scotland, whose classical and religious character is of the highest cast, has devo ted himself to the service of Greece. He is accompanied by a Greek, who has been two years in England, learning the Lan castrian system of Education, and who, by the grace of God, has become experi mentally acquainted with the truths o f the goSpel. Mas.son does wonders; he al ready talks with the priests, and will soon, if Providence permit, establish a school for the study of ancient Greek and Philo sophy at Tripolizza. Dr. Howe, from Boston does honor to his country, family and friends. His standard of morality is high. W e all love him dearly;. He has done much to relieve the sufferings o f the wounded already. The civil dissensions have all been ♦he nations o f the earth as a free tod en- ightened repu.bfic.

In short, I have wad ed through rivers, climbed mountains a- mid the snows with ray feet to the ground oeen exposed to the Turks, and was once very near being cut up by those mobsters, whose tender mercies are cruelty. I have fared like a Greek and with the Greeks I am willing to suffer for the cause of reli gion and freedom.

On board o f the 37 Turk ish vessels brought into Hydra,, were 45 Austrian oIBcers, who it is said were put to death. The other ves sels, nearly 60, were burnt or driven on shore. In those, taken were bund immense quantities of provis ions, ammunition and clothing).
