This distinguished patriot it will be seen has
left the city of New-iork, and it is pleasing to
hear, that his reception and entertainment therc
has been such us to afford him the greatest
satisfaction. lie is now OH his way for Boston,
ana the country papers from that quarter, are
alive with accounts Of the ringing OF bells, inc
firing Of canon, and every possible demonstration
of rcspcct, prnutously offered in every turn and
qiLage between New-York and Boston. The AZ
engagements for his reception in the latter place
arc given in the Boston newspapers but at too
great length for us to publish. His reception
,ncrc however, we think, will not be less SPLEEN
did than that given him at NewYork. He is to
be in philadelphia by the 9TH Or 0th OF septem-
Der, where it is thought lie will remain some days,
as the most extensive and splendid preparations
are making there for his reception. From thence
he will proceed to Baltimore, which place 1t IS
expected he will reach by the 18th. We 10 not
know whether to hope or not hope, that he will
take this place in his routc--we would certainly
be highly gra,ificd by Il sight of the venerable
patriot, as who would nots-but his reception,
We fear, would not be the most hattcrng. We
do not know of any arrangements having been
made 10 receive Or entertain him-thcrc IS nc
miEicrY, we belcyc-or it there u.s. they arC
dumb on the subject of escorting him n--alic
unless ------- should get wind Of tilc general
arrival, and voluntarily give the bell pull, it IL
not impossible but that he might pass through
the town, unknown even to the citizens. W.
sincerely hope there may be some arrangement
made, TO receive him with that respect 10 whicl
he is so Justly entitled. For once then let u
throw oil that apathy and Indifference, for wlIcl
We have been SO long remarkable, and do no
lct it be said, that the whole town assemble
at the town-hall, with their hands in their pock
ets--cxccpt the ladies', whom We will place !,
the windows Of their respective M,bitations-t
stare at the marquis, and max remarks on hi
mouth, nose, &c. US he passes i'll silence tlroug
ourstr.ctsl!
