These distinguished personagcs have cross
cd the atlantic, for the purpose OF visiting
the country, ia the establishment Of whose
independence the father was a Jealous, ac-
tive, and efficient agent, whose welfare has
ever been an object of most earnest solctnde,
and whose progress in national slrength,
wealth, and general prosperity, lie has long
had an ardent desire personally to witncsst
We can scarcely imagine person to be i'll Il
more Interesting situation than the Marquis is
now placed Since he left the United States,
they have passed from the feeble and dis
iointetl condition in which they stood at the
close of the war of independence, andI when
he left our shores, to a firm, compact. and
hourshing republic, rapidly advancing under
a free, Just, and we'll regulated government,
i'll numbers, in strength, in responsibility,
and in power, enjoying peace, freedom, and
almost all the political blessings which can
be expected in this turbulent and imperfect
state of existence. The comparison Which
his mind must make between what We were

might seem to him like dream, that his
great military pattern, friend, and comman-

tcresting, to see such universal manifesto
tons of 10y and gratitude, as will be shcwn
to this friend OF our country, upon his arrival
and throughout his residence, i'll the United
States. This is not the cold and formal cx-
hibiton OF courtly rejoicing and government

vduul as we'll as general feeling--it is the
heartfelt pleasure which is cordially cXper-
fenced, and honesty expressed, by a nation OF
freemen, to an ILLUSTRlOuS BENE-
FACTOR. [N Y. Daily .4drertlSer.

City Hall.

cockaae.
