; From tie Nelc ToTt .4nericaa. : The compliments paid yesterday by the !, Fafioas arns-napal, military and militia were well devised and well carried out. At II o'clock, General Bertrand. fe,oetber with Gov. Bouek, the Mayor and Common , Council of the city, the Committee of French residents, and various invited guests, assem-

 bled on board the Hercules steamboat. lyino : at the Castle Garden

 The Battery was alive with spectators, and indeed Broadway, as the procession passed down from the City Hall, had the appearance of national holiday.

 The officers of the various uniform corps and of the infantry, in full uniform and to the number perhaps of 250, formed not the least striking part of the company.

 When the Hercules put of for tic U. s. ship INDEPENDENCE lying off the Battery, the yards of the ship were manned, and when the General left the steamboat and mounted the deck-being received at the gangway by Commodore Stewart and Capt. Mckeever-- the band struck up Hail Columbia, which was followed by the Marseilles Hymn. The steamboat having dropt clear of the ship, q salute of l7 guns was fired. The veteran General, escorted by the veteran Commo- dore, examined all parts of the ship, and then proceeded To the cabin, where he was intro duecd 10 some ladies assembled, and with the other guests partoolS of the refreshments l lberally provided by the Commodore

 On leaving tho ship, the yards were again manned, and when the steafi5sat had receiv- ed her passengers and shot ahead, another sa- lute was Gred and three hearty cheers were given and returned

 The Hercules then proceeded to the North Cfoftna, where the same reception and the same compliments awaited ths distinguished visitor. Alter passing half an hour on board, the party again re-embarled and proceeded to Governors Isand-enlivened by the band of the North Carolina, which Commander WETMoRE detailed for the purpose.

 Al the wharf, the visitors were receivedby Col. BANKnEAn and his staff in full uniform, and under salute from the fort.

 l The General and Governor, and the Com manders of the different militia corps, accom- panied Col. Bankhead to the parade, where the garrison was diawnu up, and received them with presented arms, then gave the march,, ing salute, and again marched past in quick time-all ia very soldierly style

 The parade was then dismissed, and the officers were respectively presented 10 Gene ral Bertrand, after which they proceeded to the Colonel's quarters, where many ladies were assembled, who claimed their share in welcoming the hero of fidelity, not less on his own account than on that of the devoted wife who eheenully shared his voluntary exile, as she had his days of sunshine.

 Having made the tour of the fort, examin- cd the barracks, and the ordnance stores, the General again took the boat for the Navy

 Yard.

 On approaching the landing, the crowd

 there being no marines in the yard to keep

 the ground--was great, but the General and

 Governor got ashore without any inconven-

 fence, and were received by Capt Strngham and his officers under a salute from the guard-4 ship and escorted throughout the Yard, the ship houses, the Lyeeum, and finally to the I Commodore's house, where coffee was serv- ed, and where again ladies honoged the occa- sion with their presence.

 After brief interval, the visitors returned to the steamboat and about o'clock were reIanded at Castle Gartlen-a bright sun gild-. ing the close of an honorable and gratifying day,-honorable and gratifying, because spent in doing homage io the virtue that pros l perity did not corrupt, and diversity could

 not undermine.

 Not the least striking of the compliments of the day was that reserved for its eiose.-s 2 When the steamboat reached the wharf at T Castle Garden, the municipal and the various

 officers took then departure leaving General : Bertrand in the hands of the committee of

 his countrymen-carr arriages being in waiting | to receive them at the Battery. - When, however, the General and his corfl- panions came forth from the Castle, they a found ranged on the bridge the whole array . of olfieers--in two ranks faced inward with

 heads uncoyered--and between them the 9 General passed-not, we think without q , paipitating heart and tear Inostened eye. It was a compliment well imagined, and | we hazard little in saying. deeply felt.

 It was the companion of the fallen fortunes

 of the great Soldier, even more than the Ge- s neral, brilliant on the field and humane iii

 victory, that the city and all the arms of the national defence, and the people, meant to :! honor.

 This morning General Bertrand visits the ,, various institutions connected with the city g government. In the afternoon he will dine $ at the Astor House with his countrymen and 4 their descendants settled here, and to-mofTow

 go to Philadelphia. His visits are necessa-

 rly short in each city, as he desires to see 3, Baltimore and Washington-and to be back d here to embark for France on the Filth No e vember.
