r I'rom the Port m lot of ti. RC:CEPTpx\' OF LA FAVETTE. Ypsiefdity die contemplated ,arrange ments lor Thu reception of L a F axette were carried into efi’ect. At an early hour our streets began to assume the appearance of a general holl- day. Thiey tvere filled citizens, either preparing to join in the procession that <v?as t | welcome La Fayette, or else repairing to places favorably situated for t, view of the NATfON’s G uest , The cavalcade-of citizens having been arranged by the Marshals under the di rection of Colonel H arris , proceeded to the Seat of Governor E ustis , where tliey received L a F ayette and con ducted him to the City lines where the City authorities were awaiting to receive him. At l i o^clock General La Fayette reached the city lines, when a national salute was fired by that escellent corps, the Boston Sea Fencibles, stationed .on Soutb Boston Heights. Civilities hav ing been interchanged between General La Fayette and the city authorities, the order of escort was immediately arrang- ■ ed and he commenced his progress , through (lie city. T h e streets through which the processron passed were liters oily thronged with well dressed people, W'ho manifested' the most lively enthu siasm. Every window in the course of the procession w'as filled with ladies, anxious to obtain a view of this early friend of Ameriqan freedom, The appearance of the escort was ve-r ry fij|>.e. T h e battalion of Light Infant ry made a very splendid appearance.^—^ The Corps-of dragoons lookvery well and aided' much, to relieve the Oniformi- ty of a mere civic piocession. The number of citizens, who joined the cav alcade was umisaaliy great and they were all'well, mounted. The streets through which the precession passed,, were orna mented with National Flags, which gave them- a very animating appearance.— Every thing in fiict indicated that patriot- .K feeling which love, and gratitude .de mand- America’s earliest benefactor. Upon hh arrival at the head of the Mall, thecivic part of the escort was dis cussed,. when General La Fayette,* ac companied by the Mayor, and conducted by Marshall Harris, passed in review the scholars of our pablic- schools drawn Ujj in a line on the Common, The schol ars all wore La Fayette badges. He ex pressed himself very deeply gratified by this exhibition. He then rapaired to the Senate Chamber, where he paid his res pects to His Excellency the Governor, and was introduced to the Honorable Council and many citizens. His manner is affable and pleasing and he appears much affected by the warm and cordial welcome, with which he is greeted, Ahoot ^ o’'clock he took his leave of the-Governor, and rapaired to the resi dence prepared fi>r him at the head of Park'-streefi During the whole of his progress through oar City, the enthusi asm of our citizens has been very great. The air was filledtevith their huzzas, and at times the pressure was so great, as ac tually to stop the- carriage in which he rode. In his passage fronr the State Rouse, to hfe own- residence, he was re peatedly and toudly cheered, and was ac companied by a crowd of enthusiastic citizens, A very handsome arch was thrown across Washington street at the site of the old fortifications, now occupied by the Green Stores. Upon this arch there was the following inscription : WELCOME, LA FAYETTE,” The fathers in glory shall sleep, That* gather’d With thee tw the fight, EiW the sons wilt eternally keep The tablet of gratitude bright, • We bow not-th^i neck, and ive bend not the knee,—. But our hearts, LA FAYETTE, we surren der to thee. Another beautiful arch was thrown across the same street at the site of the old Liberty Stump, opposite Boylston Market. There were also on this ailch appropflate mottos. Nothing occurred to mar the festivity of this occasion. Although' the throng of people Oft foot, in carriages and on horseback was very great , no accident oc curred. The weather was unusually fine, being cool and refreshing, in conse quence of which; those exposed to the weather suffered less than is usual on such occasions. Ea Fayette-rode uncov ered and consteintly returned by bowing, the loud greetings with which lie was welcomed.- About five o’clock Fa Fay ette repaired to the Exchange, where he dined with the Mayor and city aathori- ties. He v?as loudly and repeatedly • cheered on entering the Exchange. Tile following is the address- of the Mayor of Boston to General La Payette : Sir—The Citizens ot Boston welcome you on your return to the United States : tpindful of yoiir early zeal in the cause of American Independence,, grateful fer your distinguished share in the perils and glories of its achievetneiit. When urged by a generous- sympathy, you first landed on these shores, you found a peo ple engaged in an ardous and eventful struggle for liberty, with apparently in adequate means, and amidst dubious omens.- After the lapse of nearly half § centuiy, you find the same people pros perous beyond all' hope and all prece- dent-T—their liberty secure ; sitting in its strength-—without fear and without re proach. In your youth you joined the stan.. dard of three millions of people, raised in an unequal and uncertain edniict. In your advanced age you return and are inethy ten millionsrof people, their de scendants, whose hearts throng Ifither td greet youFapproach and to rejoice in it. This is not the movement of a- turbu lent populace excited by the fre$h lau rels of soine recent conqueror, fit is a grave, moral, intellectual impulse. A whole people in the enjoyment of freedom as peHeqtas the condition of our nature permits, recur with gratitude, in creasing with- the daily increasing sense of their ' blevssings,. to the memory of those, who, hy their labors, and in their blood, laid the foundations of our liber ties. Yoiir name, S ir ,— the name of L a F ayette , is associated with the most perilous, and most glorious periods of our Revolution ;—^^\vitb= the imperisha ble names of W ashington , and of that numerous host of Heroes which adorn the proudest archives of American his tory, and are engraven in indelible tra ces on the hearts of the whole Ameri can people. Acceptj then. Sir, in the sincere spirit in which it is offered, this simple tri bute to your virtues. ^ Again, Sir, the Citizens of Boston bid you welcome to the cradle of American Independence, and to scenes consecrated with tlfe blood shed by the earliest mar tyrs in its cause. The following is General La Fayette’s' answer to the aildress.of the Mayor : » To' the Mayor and People of Bos- foti—The emotions of love and gratitude which I have been accustomed to feel on entering this city, have ever mingled with a sense of religious reverence for the cradle of American, and let us hhpe it will be hereafter said, of universal li berty. “ What must be. Sir, my feelings at the blessed moment, when, after so long an absence, I find myself [again sur rounded by the good'eitizeni of Boston, where* I am so affectionately qnd so hon orably welcomed not only by|ofd friends, but by several successive generations— where I can witness the -prosperity, the immense improvements that have been the reward ofa noble Struggle,, virtu ous morals, and truly republican institu tions. “ I beg of you Mr,-Mayor, .Gentlemen of the City Council, and all of you, be loved citizens of Boston, to accept the warm thanks o f a heart which has for nearly half a century been devoted to your illustrious city.” The General gave the following Toast, at the public dinner. “ The Cityf of Bostoa, the Cradle of Liberty,—May Fanueil Hall'6ver stand a monument to teach the world that resis tance to aggression is a duty ; and will, under true republican institutions become a blessing.” f III— — — Ifc FO R E IG N . ___ N ew -Y ork , Aag. 27\. llatest fpxmh Et^landi —-The firitisb Packet Zephyr, arrived below yesterday from Falmouth and Halifax, with the Ju ly mail, Capt.

The sad event took' place yesterday morning at four o’clock. Poki, the Governor, and the rest of the suite, were supporting their Royal Mas ter’s legs at the foot of the- bed. At two o’clock he became alarmingly worse, and he seemed then hot to know imy person ; the Admiral was brought fnto the room, and was affected to clears. The King took.no notice of him, nor any other per son about him. From that time till four o’clock, he kept continually- saying, “ I shall lose my tongue,” nnd just before be breathed his last, his Majesty faintly said, “ Farewell to you all 1—I am- dead !-^I am happy I”* After uttering these words he expired in the arms of Madame Poki5^ It is impossible to describe the- sensa- fioa the distressing event has caused throughout'the whole of the King’s suite. Madame Poki, the moment the- breath left herKoyal Master’s body, was carried to her chamber in a very desponding state. As His Majesty perceived the hour of his dissolution to approach, he request ed the French gentlemen who accompan ied him to this country to express his his earnest desire that his remains, togeth er with those of his late beloved wife, should be removed to his native island, as soon as the Governor and his attend ants were suffibifentTy recovered to see that melancholy duty performed. His Majesty also gave* directions, leaving all his effects in this country to'the Govern or for his use, as well as that of his other attendants. His Majesty w<»s partlcular- .Jy attached to Capt. Starbuck, and on a recent occasion ei^pressed his .determina tion not to* return to- his own country without him. No final decision v/e understand has yet been come to by His Majesty’s Gov ernment upon the subject, of the appltca- lion of the King of Portugal for military aid. The-question, although one of con siderable difficulty and’ great delicacy, has lost tnoch of its political importance by the declaration of France, that she has no intentFon. of interfering in the af fairs of Portugal, and that her'Ambassa- dor, Hyde de Neuville, exceeded bis in structions in offering military assistance to the King. But arthough no decision has actually been pronounced by Minis ters, it is well known that preparations on a certain scale are ‘going on, which seem to indicate compliance with the King of Portugal’s wishes, should the necessi ty of his affifirs contifiue to require our , ron off?3'egropcmt.

The appearance of a Spanish force on the other eoast has prevented the arrival of some troops here destined for that country j but, notwithstanding this cir- ciimstance, I am not apprehensive of the issue of the campaigns.

Another objection is, the danger of confmumg to elect men from the Gabi- ‘ net—that the secretary of state will be come heir presumptive to the Presidency -r-that the president will virtually have the power tu appoint his successor.— this is . one of those political bug-bears that are continually rising up in minds which are too weak to keep them down.

Fnr if they had not been the favourites of the nation—if they had not been'ablev patriotic and true, in a pre-eminent degree, why did the nation elect them ? The fact of their being Sec retaries of State did not compel the peo- dle to vote for them. It has been said that all the Presidents have beeq taken from the department of state except Washington,and the wisdom of Washing ton’s administration is attributed to this circumstance ! Would Washington not have been equally as wise, patriotic aud true if he had been a Secretary of State ? If the being a Secretary of State has any effect at all on the candidate for thePres- dency it most certainly has a good one, for it initiates him into the science of government. But whatever merit there may have-been in Washington’s no* be ing a Secretary of State, it was not Ifis; for this o^ce did nt>t exist till after Washington’s- election'. Xt is clear then • that as long as the people have the pow er to elect the President there can be no danger of the Secretary of State be coming heir presumptive to the Presi- dency, and that so- long as the people continue to elect the'Secretary of state to the oflSce of President,, so long the proofwHlbe conchisive, that the prece ding President has consuled the wishes of the people, and made a wise choice, in the a-ppointment ofthe Secretary.
