Cincinnati. Six miles below the latter city, these
| boats were met by the Robert Fulton, which con-
| tanned fine band of music, from Cincinnati, and
was crowded with passengers, to degree that
presented an appearance OF a mountain OF heads
more than any thing else can lken it to. After
| salutes from the three boats, the music struck up
the beautiful and appropriate air. " Hail to the
ChiS'-and the boats having been dashed side
by side, came up in fine style to the wharf 'front.'
ing the city. national salute by Capt. Kier-
stedfs Artillery, and another, from piece sntion-
ed on the wharf by Messrs Tatem's, was fired,
amidst the acclamations Of congregated thousands,
who had repaired to the banks of the Ohio, to
welcome TO the city, the iustrious benefacte~ of
our country.
In consequence Of the rapid fall of the river,
General Jackson remained only few hours in
Cincinnati. He left that place on Saturday even

At Maysville, salute was fred from the shore,
and returned from the boats The General landed
short time, and the Robert Fulton, after ascend

vile, was with emotions Of regret. If opportu-
nifty occurs, l will write again from Pittsburg.

Dear Sr:-We reached this place about two
hours ago; all well, and without any accident or
detention on the way. We shall leave hese in
one hour for Pntsburg, which we expect to reach
tonight or Tomorrow morning, provided we are
not detained by ice or the want Of water, which is
considered little doubtful
MIR. White, OF this place, has handed me a let
ter from you, desiring 10 know the route the Cen
eral will take, and the probable time he will
rive at Washington. lie will 60 from Pinsburg
to Washington, Pennsylvania; and thence direct
W TO Washington City. 1t is the General's wish
TO enter the City without either parade or ceremo-
n.y. as being most consistent with the principles Of
repubIicanism, as well as most in accordance with
his present state Of feelings. IL is impossible, at
this time, 10 advise you Of the precise time the
General will reach Washington. lie is ia pretty
good health and has stood the journey. so far, very

y. S. Since writing the above, il has been de-
termined TO decline going TO Pittsburg, in conse.
quence Of it, being somewhat doubtful whether
we can get up to that city by water. We shall
probably leave this place This evening, or to-
morrow. 10 haste, your obedient servant,
