the Astor House, where he has fixed his
head quarters during his stay in New York.
He was waited upon soon after his arrival by Ro-
bert H. Morris, Esq, our esteemed Mayor, the
French Consul, many Frenchmen now amongst us,
and great numbers of our most distinguished fellow
citizens. Indeed throughout the day he gave audi

the utmost affability and courtesy, and in the most
democratic manner he joined the general table both

after we have not yet learned, but committee is
engaged in its arrangement.
We hear that many of our military companies
will turn out to mark their respect for man who

About five o'clock Yesterday afternoon some mis-

occasioned A band of music, of most excellent
quality, and fine set of soldier like fellows, whose
uniform is strictly British, being glazing scarlet,
came down that crowded thoroughtare with mar
ta tread, and on arriving directly in front of the
Astor House they wheeled to the right, assembled
the Astor steps, and took possession of the capacious
vestibule of that princely hotel Whether they re-
minded the General Of Waterloo or not we did not
ascertain, but the imaginations of some excitable

idea of sudden descent.of "the Brtishers," and
hostile invasion of the Generals apartments, for

the arrival of Mr. LowRdes at Philadelphia, he i'm

Informed him of the nature of bis business when the
Mayor promptly replied that he knew all about it,
