We take the following short account OF the
arrival of Mr. CLAY in Cincinnati, iram the
American Of that city:
.rhe procession was now formed under the
command Of COL Carr, Grand Marshall. assisted
by Col. Borden. A large number OF gentlemen
~, borsehsck led the way. in double HE. Mr..
Co.. with two of his friends, in his 5arouche-
rbel,st surrounded by the Committee Of Arrange
mrnts---followed next. The escort carriage,
which had continued with Mr.. Clay from the
s,ringS< next. Then, the remaining gentlemen
on horseback. And. lastly, the several CARRIAGES.
IN hi, manner, the whole proceeded to the cly;
then down Maln to Front street. up Front -
Cromwell's Hotel, where rooms were provided
FOR MI CLAY. Here he alSlitea, and took his
station in the drawins-rOOIn at the Hotel Where
immense crowds. Of people locked around mm
unt late in the eyeIng. Every doar and VIII
daw of the houses BY which the procession pass
81, were throngsd.
"The escort was composed of three hundred
and one persons on horseback, and 'wenty-SeycD
carriages averaging about five persons IN each
making the whole number of persons in the es
curt aUout $50. It's length approxlmated, II II
were MOI quite, three quarters Of mile in length.
The whole was exclusively civic in its character;
aud We very much doubt whether such eric
escort, both in extent aud rtsDectabllity, was
ever besuFe witnessed In tue u. states. Not Il
gun was fred nor bell rUng, to cOpsregate the
people. OF c,elte Il Fictitious excitement. All
