the dusk of the evening. During these
excursions he often encountered perilons
adventures but at last, at a convenient
opportunity, still attired in his female

due precauiion. he took his passage on

Such was the life which the common

PHILADELPHIA, June 6.
THE ARRIVAL OF THE PREST-
DENT

About O'Clock yesterday, the Presi-
dent of the United States was received at
Port Mifflin, under federal salute. A
quarter before four, he landed at Grav's
Ferry Bridge, where he was received by
three troops of CITY Cavalry, and a
large concourse Of citizens. who had gone
thus far TO be the first, with loud huzzas,
TO greet his arrival. The sixteen cared
barge, i'll which the President came up
from Fort Nliffiin, was rowed by expert
oarsmen, dressed i'm scarlet vests, white
sleeves and trOwsers. Among those i'll
uniform who accompanied the Presid MT,
we noticed Generals Swift, Porter and
Cadwailader, Commodore Murray, and
Captain Stewart of the United States Ma
w.
The President was dressed in dark
blue coat buff, vest, doe skin, buh-cOlored
breeches and top boots he wore a mill
fary cooked hat, of the fashion which
was worn in the revolutionary war, and
a black bowed ribbon, of the same fashi-
on. as a cockade. 1t is fact that this
hat and cockade were objects of great
interest from an association of ideas.
Who that viewed them but remembered.
that the wearer was soldier Of the re-
voIution, and had pToIuSely she'd his blood
more than 40 years ago, to establish the
independence of that country over which
ne now has the honor 10 preside2 His
horse, which was, with his servant, in wait
ing, at Grav's Ferry. was a roam; buff
saddle and leopard skin.
The President attended by The caval-
nv and a great many citizens OH horse
back, proceeded from the Ferry, on the
west side of SchuylkiIl, 70 the permanent
Bridge. His arrival at the bridge was an
nounced bv a federal salute from the vo-
lunteer artillery stationed on the hill s. f.
Of the bridge near which the brigade OF
uniformed volunteer corps Of cavalry, arr
tillery and infantry had been under arms
for three hours. The sEonts of Joy which
rent the air as the president descended
from the bridge and as he entered upon
the review ground were true and heartfelt
EXPIRE ssions Of public respect. 1t was
gratifying TO mark the eagerness with
which all classes pressed forward on this
interesting occasion. The most natural

FROM GUADALUPE.

We learn by the arrival yesterday NOR
ming of the sch. Portumus, in 10 days
from Point Petre, Guadalupe, that the
governor of that Island had issued a pro-
clamation, prohibiting, after the 18th of
September next, the expectation of sugar
in exchange for bread stuffs.
We learn from the Halifax papers, thai
accounts received from all parts of that
Province, represent the Spring as ex-
tremely suspicious.
These papers also state that procla-
nation is said to have been issued by His
Excellency the Governor of Dominica,
opening that port TO the importation of
-four, bread, &c. in foreign vessels for a
limited period.
The Bermuda Gazette of the oath ult
gives a splendid account of Ball given
at the Town Hall, in honor of Admiral
Milne, commander of that station. A

WEST-TNDIES.

We have received intelligence from Pc
ton. One of our cOuntrymen who has
gone OH board of privateer under the
flag of Buenos Ayres, writes to his cor
respondent in this city, that after cruize
of five months they bad been very sue
cessfnl in their captures, which were sent
into Port-au-Prince for condemnation.
He further states, that the privateer at
forwards put into the same port, with all
the hands on board i'm high spirits, in an
ticipation of the prize money that would
fall to their share this, according TO
their calculation, would amount TO the
sum of nine hundred dollars per man.
They entered the port full of these joy
Gus anticipations, changed their apparel
to make as respectable an appearance as
possible, furled up their sails, and were
preparing peaceably TO go TO shore. He
states further, that while himself and his
comrades were enjoying these golden
dreams, the vessel was boarded and taken
possession of by the blacks, who plumber
ed them of all their wearing apparel, took
their watches from their tobs, the money
from their pockets, and finally commit
ted them TO prison on charge Of piracy.
They were finally suffered to regain their
liberty, but were sent on shore without
any means of obtaining subsistence. In
their distress they applied TO the Ameri-
can consul, who administered relief from
his own private funds. He further adds,
that the consul took down his flag, declar
ing that he would no longer act as an A
merican agent under so tyrannical a gov
eminent, and that he shortly afterw ards
embarked for the United States, TO repre-
sent the wrongs they had suffered to the
American government. He states that
all the prizes which they have sent i'll, TO
the amount of at least twenty-five thou
sand dollars, have been confiscated, and
that the privateer itself is already con-
demned and sold as vessel that has been
employed in committing acts of piracy,
instead Of making captures. He further
states that admiral Taylor was off the
mouth of the barbor with his squadron,
and had given notice to president Potion,
that he would capture every vessel under
his colors, until lie had obtained two mil
lion of dolIars-that being the amount of
the property captured and sent in by the
admiral, and which has been cOnfiscated
and condemned OH the charge of piracy.
He further states, that the navy of the
ebony president consists of one frigate,
two briggs, and slOop of war, which it is
deemed imprudent TO send out They
look magnificent while riding in port, and
possess character truly grand and i'm
posing. This property is too valuable TO
trust to the sea, for there it would stand
