Departure Of La Fayette.
New York, August 20.
| At an carly hour this morning, the city a.
gain presented il scene of hustle and activity,
preparatory to the departure of General La
Fayette, and suite At seven O'Clock, the
Horse Artillery, commanded by Colonel Ar
cularius, paraded in Broadway, i'll front of
Washington Hall; and at O'Clock, they
took up their line of march to llarlrm, where
they will supercedesthe escort which accom-
panied him to that place. This escort con-
sisted Of a squadron Of cavalry; the corpo-
ration in carriages; the Fayettc Guards the
General, Field, and Staff Officers of the Ar
tillcry and Infantry Of the city; and Il num-
ber OF citizens mounted. The General break
tasted with Philip Hone, Esq. at half past z,
and repaired Immediately afterwards to his
lodgings 1T the City Hotel, whence the whole
cavacadc moved up Broadway, to Bond
street, and thence up the Third Avenue.
The streets were throngcd with people, and
the General, who rode uncovered, repeatedly
returned their expressions Of kindness and
attachment, by bowing. Thus, for the pre-
sent have closed the attentions of our citi-
zens to this excellent man. The arrange
ments Of our civil and military officers were
ludicious and well executed; and We are
told that the General has not only been nigh
lv gratihcd, but greatly disappointed III the
reception with which lie has met.
Mr.. Jennings, ef the City Hotel, also de-
serves to come in for a large share OF praise
for tic style in which our National Guest has
been accommodated, and the great variety,
excellence and elegance of the entertain
ments he has served up.

NEW YORK.
! The New York Legislature adjourned on
/ FRIDAY last, after session Of five days, hav-
I Ing dol.e nothing except to decide that the
reasons assigned bv the Governor for calling
them together, did not constitute one of those
c:igcncies, which, i'll the meaning OF the con
stitation, confer on the executive the power
OF appointing an extra session. This result,
although it has disappointed some persons,
is perhaps such an ono as might have been
fairly expected. emergency, instead
OF being a new and unforeseen ono, against
4 which the legislature could not have proyit-
ed at the time of their previous adjourn
/ mcnt, # they had seen fit, must have been
fully anticipated, and the measures proposed
/ rthcir adoption were precisely those which
they had had under deliberate considera-
tion, and had determined, by the negative of
a large majority Of one branch Of the legisla-
/ turc, not 70 adopt. However reasonable it
might be that the Senate should have come
toa different decision, it was hardly rcasona-
bic to expect that the decision once made
would be changed, merely, upon the new ar
gumcnt offered by the Governor.
Accordingly, we find that the Senate, on
the second day Of the session, after Il short
debate, and as soon as the forms of proceed
ing could be gone through, adopted Il rcsou-
ton declaring, that the call OF the legislature
by the Governor, was not warranted by the
constitution, and voted, by majority Of II
to 4, for an immediate adjournment. The
Assembly was a little more dilatory in COM
ing to the same result. They had at the for
mer session passed the electors law, which
had been rejected by the Senate, and which
it was the object Of the present session to re-
vivc and Carry into effect.-Thcy were
therefore less prompt in ccnsuring the mea-
surcs which had brought them together.
, The resolution from the Senate proposing an
immediate adjournment, after an animated
debate was laid on the table, by vote Of SO
to ~. a resolution Was then offered, that if
