men. Detachments from the Liberty and M’Intosli troops preceded the carriages.— These were followed by the different societies and citizens us we have enumerated them in the reception nt the wharf—after these cnme other detachments of the Cavalry corps—Field officers of the regiments —officers of the army and navy—company officers of the first and other regiments, followed by the United States’ troops of this station, under Lieut. Monroe, the military of the city, under their several commanders, and closed by a uniformed corps of boys. When the procession commenced moving, u third salute was tired by the marine corps which we have heretofore mentioned. We should not forget to mention, that the seamen who rowed the boats in which the General landed, ac.companied the carriage in which he was seated, with the flags of their boats. The procession moved as prescribed in the arrangements of the clay, and about half past five o’clock in : the afrernoo , he arrived at the lodgings appropriated for him at Mrs. Maxwell’s, the same in which Governor Troup resides.—r , The time of his landing was at 3 o’clock—! so that the reception and procession took ! up about two hours and a half. The tamps then filed off’to the south common and tired u salute, after which they returned to the quarters of the General, to whom they paid the marching salute. During the passage of the procession, the windows and doors, as well as the spacious streets through which he passed, were crowded to excess— the expression of enthusiastic feeling was repeatedly displayed by all, from highest to the lowest. He was saluted by the ladies who appeared to have arrayed ail their charms to bid him welcome,from every place affording a view of the procession by the waving of handkerchiefs, and other demonstrations of joy, which he returned by repeated and continued inclination of the head bowing in acknowledgment. Indeed, all his acknowledgments were returned with that easy politeness and complusent smile which we have before witnessed. At sendown, another salute was fired by the marine volunteer corps.
