mont has reached New York City from the West, and is quietly spending the week at the Astor House, receiving daily an immense concourse of citizens, though in an informal way, and nume- rous deputations which would gladly offer him public honors did he not feel that in his present position it would be both presumptuous and im- proper to receive them.
 His popularity with the masses, and with the ablest and most influential of the citizens of New York, far from diminishing under the removal from his post upon wholly ex parte testimony, seems to be on the increase every day. No eth CT man in the country, no other General, unless such unbounded proofs of the regard, esteem and confidence of New York, as does General FREMONT.
 We understand that he is now awaiting orders from Washington, and as soon as practicable, will move to that city where we may hope tohear of full and candid hearing of his case, and that an opportunity may be afforded him of replying to the charges alleged against him, and of refut- ing, if he may be able so to do, the allegations of his incompetency, want of suavity, economy and the attributes of 8 soldier and gentleman. We confess, that, after very careful and pains taking perusal of the charges rendered against Genl FREMONT by Col. Blair, and the Adjutant- Gen'l Thomas report, as we'll as by the light of the Generals movements and operations in the Western Department, we have been unable to discover any just grounds for his summary remov- al from his post. We trust therefore, that while full investigation of his case, including his grievances, may be made by the proper authori ties, justice may be at least speedily done him, whichever way the proof of the whole matter may direct.
 It has struck our mind very torcibly that the details of the charges against Gen'l Fremont have resembled in very marked degree of com parison, those urged against the elder NAPOLEON in the outset of his career in the reticence and secrecy with which he guarded all his plans whether offensive or defensive against the enemy revealing them not even to his wife, until we'll or his way to victory; in the seclusion of himself from his inferior officers, that he might give his undivided thought and power to the maturing o his plans in the disregard even oftentimes of the advice and counsels of his superiors in age wher his own mature judgment points out differen scheme or opposing tactics to be pursued; in thu pomp and ceremony with which he hedged him self about, as be6tting General in command o vast army of which he was the supreme leaee and head; in the gathering about him ofa bod. ' guard of dashing imperous, daring souls like hi own in his rapid onsets against the enemy, driv ing them like chaf before him; in his equall ' mysterious and inexulicabe delays, comprehend
 ing the whole vast field of operation, and havin
