ARRIVAL OF TIE PRESIDENT.

a, June u.
ARRIVAL OF TIE PRESIDENT,
Yesterday, the President of the Uni
ted States, after inspecting Fort Miff.n,
proceeded up the Schuylkill in barge
of the Franklin "a. and was landed at
Gray's Ferry. He was then met by the
cavalry attached TO Gen. Cadw ailadef's
brigade OF volunteers, and large con
course of citizens on horseback, by whom
he was escorted TO the open ground on
the south side ofHigh street near Schuyi-
kill, where the brigade was formed, and
waiting to receive him. He reviewed
them, and then at their head proceeded
down High TO Ninth street, down Ninth
to Cnesnut street, down Chestnut TO Fourth
down Spruce TO Third street, and from
thence to The Mansion House Hotel
The concourse of spectators was i'm
mense; by whom he was cheered al
most continually during his passage
through the streets.
1t must be highly gratifying TO the feel
lngs OF the president of the United States,
to observe with what lively emotions Of
Joy he Is greeted by ali descriptions Of
his fellow citizens, and 10 perceive the u
lacrIty with which the volunteer troops
turn out 10 receive the commander in
CHI ct OF the union. But one sentiment
appeared to pervadc the citizens; all were
equally anxious TO see and show marks of
respect to the chief magistrate OF the on
ly free and independent nation in the
world.
The officers of the first brigade of mi
litla waited upon the president al the WASH
ington Hotel, Immediately on his arrival :;
and we learn that the civil officers of the
general and state governments intend 10
pay their respects TO him this day.
What will eventually be done by the
mayor and councils of our corporation
isyet unknown. Many rumors are aaoat,
respecting their proceedings, which, for
the present, we deem il improper to pub
lish, in the hope that the reception the
president met with from the constituents
oil the councils, may induce them to re-
consider their proceedings.
