q Our ministers are under good deal Of embar
rassmen in regard 10 the manner of receiving La
lhvruc who, according TO the accounts brought by
|,he Edward BonnsHe, must soon arrive. The mo
m.nt our ministers heard that the General was
coming in the frgate Brandywine, they despatched
gorders 10 the authorities at Havre, 10 prevent any
hind Of meeting and every mark OF honor which
might be attempted TO be bestowed on him. On
Ethe other hand, the most respectable OF the mer'
Brhanls and other inhabitants, have resolved to ex
press their esteem for his character by every means
kin their power-The military commandant is a
lyioIent royalist, but the Mayor is good natured
moderate man who wishes TO avoid every sort oil
3tyrannical measures. The American frigate is
1another subject OF embarrassment. 1t is usual
when irigae enters the port, Tor her to salute
#he batteries with is guns, but this salute must be
Returned by an equal number. Now our govern
bnent are afraid that if they reply TO the American
halue, the people will think they are expcnding pow
4ler in honor Of Lafayette hut if they do not agree
3o return, they will be obliged to let The frigate
3ener without salu,ing, for they we'll know that the
american captain will not burn match without an
assurance Of reciprocity Bait. Nm.

IL dded to many OF the leading characters Of our own

Duke of SAKE Weimar, and several foreign minis
krs and ambassadors, The discourse was an admi-
able calculation of the present condition and future
ospects OF Pennsylvania connected with the
Influence Of the policy pursued by its founders. The
a,or gave beautiful detail of the trials, the views
nd the efforts OF Penn and his associates and pre-
nted faithful description of our public institutions
hd their beneficial tendency. All seemed to pay
butte to the talents Of the speaker, and we con
snt that few Pennsy lvanans present left the room

hnence of their native state. After the address

terlanment prevailed. The short address OF
Resident Adams and the association of kindred
inds, produced reciprocity Of temper and dispo
