The president reviewed the brigade.
and we learned expressed himself highly
gratlficd at their appearance and military
department. When it is considered that
The brigade had been under arms on Fri
day last, and that no orders for their as
sembling yesterday had issued before
O'Clock the preceding evening, their
promptitude will be duly appreciated.
The review being over, the line of
March was taken up to escort the Presi-
dent to his quarters. The rout was
down Market to Ninth, down Ninth TO
Chestnut, down Chestnut to Fourth. down
Fourth to Pine. down Pine to Third, IN
Third to the Washington Hall Hotel. 1t
would crafty our feelings TO detail, and
IT would crafty those of every good cit-
zen to read, minute account of the
various demonstrations of respect and
attachment which were manifested i'm
this city, but it would occupy so
large portion of our sheet and would
ook SO like fattery that it must be a
oided. Let us briefly saw that every
streetwas thronged, every window, even
the roofs of houses in some places were
crowded, and every corner gave occasi-
on TO new greetings. 1t is satisfactory to
know that the President is deeply inn
pressed with the manner of his receipt
on. In the evening the Militia Officers
of the First Brigade, many civil officers
and private citizens personally rendered
the homage of their high consideration.
This morning before six o'clock the
President went TO the Academy of Fine
Arts, then TO the Museum of Mr.. Peale;
he afterwards visited Mr.. SulIy's Gallery
of Paintings, the Philadelphia prison
and the Pennsy ivania Hospital. I'm the
course OF the forenoon we understand he
will inspect the Navy Yard, the Frank
lin "a, &c. &c. 1t is not yet determin-
ed whether the President will leave this
city on Saturday OF Monday, or whether,
when ne does depart, lie will GO To New
York IN the Steam Boat or By land
