Mr. Buchanan Arrived.

The Steamer ARAGo from Havre reached New
York on Wednesday the 28d inst, having on
board the Hon. James Buchanan late minister to
England. In accordance with previous arrange
rnents, as soon as the steamer was made fast to
the wharf, committee from the city councils
went on board, when he was addressed by alder
man Ely in highly congratulatory terms, welcom-
ing him home, and rendering him the hospitali-
ties Of the city. Mr. Buchanan briefly replied,
expressing his qualification at the distinguished
honors paid him by the authorities of the city,
and his happiness at seeing his native land and
countrymen again. Thousands of persons had
congregated in the vicinity who made the welkin
ring with their cheers.
Mr. Buchanan then disenbarked, and with
Alderman Ely entered carriage and four which
was in waiting, and was conducted to the Ever
EFT House where he remained during his stay in
the city The New York Evening Post says he
sis looking remarkably well, and seems really
happy to see home and friends again. He is per-
haps, stouter than when he left us, nearly three
years ago, and there is a ruddy hue of health up
on his cheeks, and contented look from his eyes,
which indicate that he is physically and mentally
at ease
The same genial kindness and bon hommie
which formerly marked his manner are apparent
and his personal friends, who host, will find
him changed for the better in these respects, by
his residence abroad"
He was subsequently waited upon by the May
or and authorities of New York who rendered
him public dinner which he declined, but ar
rangcments were made for him to receive the cit
gems at the city Hall on the following dav, when
a most cordial reception was given him. An open
barouche drawn by four splendid grey horses, and
six new carriages provided by which Mr.
Buchanan and the committee of city councils,
and Aldermen were conveyed from the Hotel to
the city Hall. Here he was addressed by the
Mayor, to which he made suitable reply. The
crowd was then admitted, and thousands were
afforded the opportunity of shaking him by the
hand and welcoming him home. lie afterwards
dined with the Mayor, and in the evening was
serenaded by Dodworth's full band.
We have not room for the speeches &C.. Of the
numerous bodies that waited upon Mr. Buchanan,
or his replies, but the enthusiastic reception given
him by the New Workers, was well calculated to
show how willing the people are to reward pub
lie officer who faithfully discharges his duty to
his country.
On Friday morning Mr.. Buchanan left New
York for Philadelphia, where he arrived about
one O'Clock, P NJ, amid the thunder of cannon,
and cheers of the people assembled to do him
honor. In his passage through New Jersey he
was welcomed by the cheers of thousands who
had congregated at every Rail Road station. At
Jersey City, Newark, Elzabethtown, New Bruins
wick, Princetown, Newton, Burlington, Camden.
Sc, lie warmly received, and briefly address
ed by the citizens to which he made brief replies
from the platform Of the cars. The Mavor Of
Burlington made few remarks upon the arrival
of the train at that point, and Mr. Buchanan
briefly replied The Mayor said New Jersey had
always been true to herself and the Union, and
would be true to Mr.. D.
His journey from New York to Philadelphia
was perfect ovation, and upon his arrival at the
latter city he was conducted in carriage to the
Merchants Exchange where he was addressed by
Mr.. William Welsh. We clip the following ac-
count from the Pennsylvanian:
