accompanied by the Committee: lie paused for
some minutes under a tIec, on the other side and
recei we'd the congratulations of the residents of
Nlorrissania; among whom observed several
ladies', on horseback, tastcfully mounted, who
paid their respects with a grace, elegance, and

PROGRESS oFLA rAYErTE.

Extract off letter from young lady, now IN
Greenwich, Conn. dated Friday evening Au-
gust 90.
.The news that the Marquis dc La Fayctte
was to pass through this town to-day, was re-
ccived yesterday afternoon. Nothing however
was done, and 1 began TO fear That old Cenaec-
tcut would disgrace itself; but this morning,
the spirit of '76 appeared to animate ell ranks
and descriptions. Orders were given for the
troop to proceed to Byrarn, and escort the Ge-
neral to NorvallS, where, il was understood, the
New Haven troop would be in waiting. For
tunately il entered into the heads of few, that
am ARCH erected over P.Inams Hill, would have
i fine effect. A number OF ladies volunteered
their services in erecting and adjoining it; and
the Rev. Or. Lewis, who was himselfa chap
fain in the revolutionary army, requested to
write short inscription. The inscription
which was hung in the centre, surrounded by a
wreath of sweet briar and roses, was az follows:
--"This arch, on the hill rendered memorable
by the brave General Putnam, is erected i'm
honor of the iilustriosas, the Marquis De La
Fayette--thc early and distinguished champion
of American liberty, and the tried friend Of
Washington" The arch was very tastefullv
cnwreathed, and from Its top waved the flag
which the regiment Of this place carried in the
battle of Whiteplains.
"-Aftcr waiting till nearls o'clock, our ears
were gladdencd with the sound of their approach.
The canon, which had been previously sent on,
fired, the church bell rang a merry peal, and
hundreds of spectators OF both sexes, stationed
on and about the t44, welcomed the General
with loud buzzas, and waving of hats and hand
kerchiefs. When the Marquis arrived at Ira
cy's Hotel, within forty reds of the arch,) he
3isrnountcd, and was there introduced to the
venerable DIR. Lewis, who took MIN by the
hand, and (as near as eau rGcollect, addressed
him as follows;-
'sSr,-With the millions Of America, wel-
come you to this land of freedom, and rejoice
that God has spared my life, to see that veteran
General, who SO cnnently distinguished hiif-
self in procuring her liberties"
"'Fhe Marquis then advanced othe arch sup
ported by the Rev. Dr. Lewis, and his son, the
present ministeFof the parish. The inscription
was cad to him by the fatter. He appeared
much pleased and affected, advanced few steps
bowed to the gentlemen who were stationed on
one side of the hill, turned tothe ladies orr the
other side, and sad--'tMy friends, | a,n very
much obliged to you.for the attention you have
paid TO me, aud feel happy to find myself among
you"
He then walked down the hill, and took his
carriage, and proceeded on his journey, expec-
ting to lodge at Norwalk, or Bridgeport to night.
On parting Nth him, DIR. Lewis said Sir, a.
merica loves you'---ind Sir said the Marquis,

FROM GIBRALTAR.

We have received our file Of Gibraltar papers
to the 18th uit. The following articles relating
to Spanish affairs are all that we find in them
possessing any degree of interest
His Catholic Majesty's attention being con-
stantly called off from the grave and important
affairs under his consideration, to the complaints
of those who think themselves included in the
Act of Pardon, and to the doubts of the Tribu-
nails appointed to apply the same, his Majesty
has been pleased to order that those who clai n
the benefit of the Act shall get, from the res
pectiye Justices and Tribunals, a certificate of
their being entitled to it; after which no obsta-
Gle is to be thrown in their way by any authori-
ty, and the passports, which they may want, are
to be granted them Except for Madrid or the
Royal Palaces, for which a special permission is
requircd,) provided there be no other ground of
objection.
His Catholic Majesty, having granted an am
nesty TO the partisaus Of the Revolution, has
thought it just TO shew similar indulgence to the
Royalists, who, exasperatcd by the persecution
which they had undergone during the revolt
tionary period, have, since the restoration made
attempts upon the lives or property of such Con-
stiiutionaIists as were more particularly the OBJ
iects Of their resentment. And, accordingly, a
Royal Order, Of the 1st inst, directs all actions,
entered against offenders of this description, to
be stayed except in case of murder; reservinc.
hhwever, to third persons who may havesustained
serious losses, their right to apply to the compe
tent tribunals for redress, whenever the often

that he was at work on the wall, (agreeabiy to
the orders of the city authorities) ON some land
belonging to MIR. Howard; that Mr.. Howard
had forbid his proceeding and put distractions
in the way to prevent his work.-Nfr. Howard.
in defence, said, that the city had no right TO
take his estate from him, and that he would spill
the last drop of his blood before Ire would con-
sent To it. The law read to h.in wherein
il is provided that town may take the property
of an individual when the public good may re-
quire il, and the remedy for damages explained
TO him; but he contended that no town or city
had right TO his property without his consent.

was authorized, by the city authority, to take

the work, or take his recognizance to keep the
peace: which Mr. III. percmptorily refused.
He was therefore ordered By the court to give
security to keep the peace, and put no obstruc-

the sum of 5000. This he also refused, and

BosToN, .4UG. I3.--The Honorable Mr..
QUINcY, Mayor of the City, was brought TO trial
upon the complaint of ISRAEL DRAKE, carter,
for gallopping his horse So as to endanger g per-
sons standing or walking IN the streets, lanes,
and alleys" ItappeareI in evidence, that the
Mayor, on this day week, galloppcd his horse
through Sea-Street, at O'clock i'm the morning
ana two witnesses testified that the gallop was
maniestly dangerous to persons who might
be passing through the streets at that time.
The Mayor, though he pleaded not guilty,
because he considered his riding not TO be dan
serous TO the citizens), yet expressed his desire
TO be fined by the Court, in order to show that
no individual could be placed above the law:
that those appointed to execute il we're equally
as arncnable TO its penalties as every other per-
son; and that every one, whatsoever might be
his situation, must expect to incur fine upon
being proved guilty of driving at an i,nmoderate
rate through! the city.
Justice ORNE summed up the case, and after
dilatng upon the circumstances, fl ned the
Mayor the sum of s. and costs, amounting 10
s. 81 cents.
We ought to add, that, at the time mentioned,
the Mayor was engaged on public business, was
Fastening to meet committee, and that there
were very few persons in the street.

From The Bal. Feaerat Gasettc, Of .4ug. o.
| PoRrUG I've observed the other dav that
the Gordon said to be formed on the side of Spain
| along the Portuguese frontier, must in the ma
ture OF things, awaken the vigilance and zeal
ousy of the British government We have also
maintained ever since the overthrow of the Con
stitutional system in Portugal, that the King
was an unwilling party TO that transaction, and
that his intentions towards the people were fair
and liberal. As bearing directly upon these
points, find the following remarks in our file
OF the London Morning Chronicle subsequently
receivcd:
cit is now some time since the King of Por-
tugai Is understood TO have applied to the Bri-
fish Cabinet for military assistance, and it is now
confidently asserted that this request has been
complied with. Whether this resolution be in
consistenee with the best interests of Great
Britain, doubtful; but the interference OF
England at present with Portugal, will be on
principles dramatically opposite to those which
induced the French Government to invade
! Spain. The King of Portugal is universally ac-
knowledged to be an upright man, and to be ac-
tuatcd by principles of humanity which do honor
10 bis hcart. 1t Is, however, probably as much
an OBJECT oil necessity as Of CHOICE that the Ii
berai party IN Portugal should receive assistance
from England, for considerable French force
IS collected within forty miles of Lisbon, and as
the bIgots viii assuredly make another attefnpt
to establish their principles, not a doubt is en-
tertaincd that the French forces will interfere if
England does not, and tbeD the frightful scenes,
now exhibited in Spain, may be extended TO
Portuga' and the freedom Of the whole of the
Peninsula may be for ages overtbrowp.
"The Portuguese Government, 1T is under.
STOOD engage to pay the expense of this auxiia-
ry force, and if speedily furnished, it will be
the MEANS of saving Portugal from the fate of
Spain"

Gotta, the seat of the Colombian government,
