LAFAYETTE.--This distinguished per-
sonagc has at length arrived in our country.
He sailed from Havre, in company with his
son, Geo. Washington La Fayette, on board
the ship Cadmus, Capt. Allyn, and after a
| pleasant passage Of 81 days, arrived at New
York on Saturday last, welcomed by the
hearty greetings of the citizens of that place.
An article under the New York head states
that the telegraph, at an early hour announ-
ced the fact of his arrival, which spread
through the city with electric rapdity.
Broadway was soon throngctl, and the Bat
terry covered with people who sailed forth
with the expectation that the hcroand vete-
ran of two revolutions might come directly
to the city. The arrangements o. the city
authorities having been scasonably oommu


nicatcd to him, he landed at Staten Island,
and was conducted to the scat Of the Vice
President, where he remained through the
day and passed the night Fort La Fayette
fired a salute as the ship passed, and hand
some salute was fired, as the General landed'
from the ship Importer, Captain Kcan, from
Canton, lying at the Quarantine.-In the ci-
ty the national flag was displayed at all the
public places during the day. About noon
Gen. Morton and several members of the
Common Council, proceeded in steam boat
to Staten Island, to greet lis arrival and
communicate the arrangements that had been
Jn E,J lntt ,hf,1 tic emit ri
ring the Revolution, officiated to receive and
introduce visitors, but in many instances the
General, unrcatraincd by the ordinary rules
of etiquette, was as anxious as his vistcrs
were, to press forward and grasp it.


The arrangements in the city were as fol
lows: The military would parade at an car
ly hour, and be in readiness at the Battery to
receive the General, who would be waited
upon at Staten Island, and accompanied up
to the city by a committee of the corporation.
For the accommodation OF the committee,
the Chancellor Livingston steam boat had
been volunteered by the North River Com
pany, and would be accompanied by four
other steam boats, all richly decorated. From
the Battery, at which place it was expect
cd the General would land, he would be cs-
cortcd to the City Hall, where he would be
formally received by the Mayor and Coun-
Gil, and receive the marching salute of the
troops in front of the Hall: after which he
would be conducted to the apartments pre-
pared for his reception at the City Hotel
