GEORGE WASHINGTON, President of the United States.
PORTSMOUTH, November 5.
ARRIVAL of his Excellency the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES.
On Saturday last, arrived in this Metropolis, his Excellency GEORGE WASHINGTON, Esq. President of the United States of America.
His Excellency was met at the line by the President and Council of this State—several members of the Hon. House of Representatives—the Honorable Messieurs Langdon and Wingate, Senators for this State—the Hon. Nicholas Gilman, Esq. the Treasurer of this State—the Loan-Officer—the Marshal and Attorney of this District, the Hon. Consul of France, the Secretary of this State, several General Officers, attended by Col. Cogswell, with his regiment of Light-Horse, in complete uniform—a respectable number of officers in the Civil Department, and private gentlemen.
The President was escorted to the line by a party of horse from our sister state, and was there introduced, in form, to the several gentlemen of distinction who were waiting his arrival. He then passed
the troops drawn up to receive him; who severally vied with each other, who could pay the most respect to the man whom Heaven approves, and Americans delight to honour. The President then dismounted from his horse, took his carriage and was escorted to Greenland. The way, for the most part, being lined with spectators of all ranks. At Greenland he was met by Colonel Wentworth's corps of Independent Horse (in complete uniform, having their standard displayed, as were the standards of the several corps) many more officers of the militia, and several gentlemen from this and the neighbouring towns. The President after a short tarry at Greenland, remounted his horse, and passed the officers who were drawn up near the Globe Tavern, under the command of the Hon. Major-General Cilley, to salute him as he passed.
At his entrance into this town he was saluted by thirteen cannon from three companies of Artillery, in complete uniform, under the command of Col. Hackett. The street through which he passed (Congress Street) was lined by the citizens of the town, all the crafts being ranged alphabetically; the Bells rang a joyful peal, and repeated shouts from grateful thousands, hail'd their Deliverer welcome to the Metropolis of New-Hampshire.
Then did the people's just applause rise, And the loud shout ran echoing thro' the states.
A federal Salute was fired from the Castle, the ships in the harbour were dressed, and the windows and doors of every house were crowded with ladies, anxious to see and bless the man to whom America stands so much indebted.
On his arrival at the State-House, he was conducted to the Senate Chamber, by the President and Council of this State, and took his station in the balcony, when in a stage erected for the purpose, the following Odes, composed by a gentleman in this town, were sung by a number of gentlemen, accompanied by the band:
ODE FIRST. FULL CHORUS.
BEHOLD he comes! Columbia's pride, And Nature's boast—her fav'rite Son, Of valour—wisdom—truth—well try'd— Hail, Matchless WASHINGTON.
RECITATIVE.
'Tis gratitude that prompts the humble lay, Accept great Chief what Gratitude can pay.
AIR.
Let old and young—let rich and poor, Their voices raise, To sing his praise, And bid him welcome o'er and o'er.
CHORUS.
Welcome matchless WASHINGTON! Matchless as the deeds you've done.
RECITATIVE.
From North to South, from East to West His Fame unrivall'd stands confest.
AIR.
This, this is he—by Heaven design'd, The pride and wonder of mankind. United then your voices raise, And all united sing his praise.
CHORUS.
Welcome matchless WASHINGTON! Matchless as the deeds you've done.
ODE SECOND.
Tune—"He comes"
HE comes! he comes! your songs prepare, The matchless Chief approaches near, Each heart exults! each tongue proclaims, He's welcome to Hantonia's plains.
CHORUS.
Welcome! welcome! welcome! welcome! Welcome to Hantonia's plains.
Those shouts ascending to the sky, Proclaim great WASHINGTON is nigh! Hail nature's boast—Columbia's Son, Welcome! welcome WASHINGTON.
Welcome! &c.
Let strains harmonious rend the air. For see the Godlike hero's here! Thrice hail—Columbia's fav'rite Son, Thrice welcome matchless WASHINGTON.
Welcome, &c.
ODE THIRD.
Tune—"God save the King." LONG may thy Trumpet, Fame,
Let echo waft the Name, Of WASHINGTON: O'er all the world around, Far as earth's utmost bound, Thy equal is not found, Columbia's Son.
II.
Ye blest of Human kind, Columbians, call to mind, Th' deeds he's done:
Hark! hark! those shouts declare, That "Heaven's peculiar care," The matchless Hero's here, Great WASHINGTON.
III.
Hantonia's sons rejoice, Welcome with heart and voice, Your country's pride: On this auspicious day, Drive sorrow far away, And sing in rapt'rous lay, "Let joy preside."
IV.
Rejoice—let all rejoice, And with united voice,
The HERO hail;
He stem'd oppression's tide, And humbled Britain's pride, Is still your matchless guide That will not fail.
Then the whole of the troops, under the command of Major-General Cilley, passed him in the review, Horse, Foot and Artillery, and the line of Officers, every Officer saluting as he passed. The Troops then retired, and the President was conducted to his lodgings, at Col. Brewster's, by the President and Council of this State, the Hon. Mr. Langdon and the Marshal of this district, escorted by a company under arms, and in complete uniform.
Every thing was conducted with the greatest possible order and regularity, each countenance beamed with lively joy—sorrow was banished far away, and each heart beat grateful to the name of WASHINGTON.
In the evening, the State-House was beautifully illuminated—thirteen rockets were let off the balcony—mutual congratulations took place, and the day concluded without any unlucky occurrence to mar the pleasure excited by so auspicious an event. Thus far for the day—we flatter ourselves it will be remembered so long as patriotism continues to be a virtue, and the name of WASHINGTON to sound grateful to American ears.
On Sunday last, the illustrious President of the United States, accompanied by his Excellency President Sullivan, and the Hon. Mr. Langdon, together with his two Secretaries—attended divine service at the Queen's Chapel in the morning, and at the first Congregational Church in the afternoon. The President was then conducted to his pew, attended by the Marshal of this district, and two Church Wardens with their staffs.—On this uncommon occasion, both houses of worship were crowded with spectators, among whom were a brilliant concourse of the fair daughters of Hantonia, whose lovely countenances testified the heart-felt joy, the presence of their illustrious countryman inspired.
The Rev. Messrs Ogden and Buckingham, in their well adapted discourses, paid a just and beautiful eulogium, on the numerous virtues of this dignified personage, whose appearance diffused such general joy, and awakened in every breast the most grateful sensations.—Felicitating their numerous hearers on the happy occasion which called them together, to offer up their unfeigned thanks to the Supreme Ruler of the world, for all his mercies, and to implore a continuance of his divine and gracious benediction on the head of their beloved chief.
At the Queen's Chapel, several pieces of sacred musick, were performed, suited to the above occasion.
THE PRESIDENT'S EXCURSION DOWN THE RIVER.
On Monday morning the President of the United States (accompanied by President Sullivan, the Hon. Mr. Langdon, the Marshal of this District, the Consul of France) and his two Secretaries, took an excursion down the harbour. The barge which contained the President, was rowed by seamen dressed in white
frocks, having for its Coxswain, Captain Hopley Yeaton, of this town.
The barge which contained the Consul of France and the President's two Secretaries, was rowed by seamen, dressed in round blue jackets, with round hats decorated with blue ribbons and wavers.
The President was landed and made a short tarry at Kittery, in the Province of Main.
A number of young gentlemen who compose the band in this town, anxious to afford our illustrious and beloved President, all the entertainment in their power, followed him in a barge, and performed several pieces of music on the water, we hope to his acceptance. His Excellency was landed at Col. Wentworth's seat, from thence proceeded to town by land, when he was again saluted by a discharge of artillery from Churchill: Then the President and suit, with a number of gentlemen of distinction, dined with the Hon. Mr. Langdon.
The committee of this town appointed for the purpose, presented The PRESIDENT of the United States, with the following
A D D R E S S. To GEORGE WASHINGTON, PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.
SIR, SENSIBLE of the honor done them by this visit from your Excellency, the inhabitants of Portsmouth improve this first opportunity of bidding you welcome to New-Hampshire; and beg leave to mingle their warmest congratulations with those of their brethren throughout the Union upon your election to the high and important office of President of the United States.
We attempt not to recount the number, variety and merit, of your services to our common country—these are already written in indelible characters on the heart of every true American, which the faithful page of history will transmit to generations yet unborn—but to express our gratitude to him, who with a magnanimity peculiar to himself under the smiles of heaven, defended the rights and gave birth to the empire of America. Permit us to add, the grateful sense we entertain of our high obligations to you Sir, as a town, for our security from that devastation which was the fate of many other sea port towns in the Union, and would probably have been ours, had not the enemy, by your wise and spirited exertions, been driven from the capital of a neighbouring state, and compelled to seek an asylum, for a while, within their own dominions.
Our happy escape from this calamity, while it demands our devout ascriptions of praise to the great Ruler of all events, consoles us under the many heavy losses we have sustained in our navigation and commerce during the war—the distressing effects of which we still but too sensibly feel.
It is with pleasing emotions, we recognize the dispensations of divine providence towards the United States, in placing the Deliverer of his country at the head of the General Government by the unanimous suffrages of a free and grateful people, at a crisis when none but the man who has long enjoyed, and richly merited, the confidence of America, and the plaudits of an enlightened world, could be found equal to the arduous task.
We felicitate you, and these states on your speedy recovery from your late sickness, and ardently wish your life may be continued a blessing to yourself, and your country, and that at some far distant period—full of years, and the most benevolent and glorious achievements—embalmed with the tears of grateful millions—you may be called to inherit an incorruptible crown in the realms of glory.
JOHN PICKERING, for the Inhabitants, Portsmouth, Nov. 2, 1789.
The committee were politely received by the President, who was pleased to return the following affectionate
ANSWER.
To the inhabitants of the town of Portsmouth. GENTLEMEN,
I AM sensibly impressed with your friendly welcome to the metropolis of

New-Hampshire and have a grateful heart for your kind and flattering congratulations on my election to the Presidency of these United States.
I fear the fond partiality of my countrymen has too highly appreciated my past exertions, and formed too sanguine anticipations of my future services.—If the former have been successful, much of the success should be ascribed to those who laboured with me in the common cause—and the glory of the event should be given to the great Disposer of events.—If an unremitting attention to the duties of my office, and the zeal of an honest heart can promote the public good, my fellow citizens may be assured that these will not be wanting in my present station.
I can claim no particular merit Gentlemen, for the preservation of your town from the devastation of the enemy. I am happy, if by any event of the war, your property has been preserved from that destruction which fell but too heavily on your neighbours; and I sincerely condole with you for the loss which you have sustained in navigation and commerce; but I trust that industry and economy, those fruitful and never-failing sources of private and public opulence, will, under our present system of government, restore you to your former flourishing state.
The interest which you take in my personal happiness, and the kind felicitations which you express on the recovery of my health, are peculiarly grateful to me; and I earnestly pray that the great Ruler of the Universe may smile upon your honest exertions here, and reward your well-doings with future-happiness.
G. WASHINGTON.
On Tuesday an elegant entertainment was given by the President and Council of this State to the President of the United States; at which were present most of the principal officers of Government, the bar, clergy and many other gentlemen of distinction to the number of one hundred;—after dinner the following toasts were drank, viz. —

The President being seated, an excellent song was sung accompanied by the band; after which the dances began and the evening passed away with all the joy and good humour which the occasion naturally inspired.
Yesterday morning at half past seven the President left this town, on his return to New-York, and will take the western parts of this State in his tour.
