and pleasure that we announce the arri-
val in this city off the PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES. On his entrance, he
was met by troop of cavalry and citi-
zens on horseback, and escorted to the
Fountain Inn. Had the intelligence of

souls-and who has since, by his emf

to this nation, the people cannot permit
to pass among them without evidencing
to him those marks of gratitude and es-
TEEN, winch are due, not more to his sta
ton as Chief Magistrate of the ONLY real
ly independent republic on earth, than TO
The important benefits he has rendered
his country.
On his arrival, several of the aged and
most respectable citizens attended the
President, and welcomed his appearance
in Baltimore. In the afternoon he at
