From the Baltimore Federal Gazette of November 7.

This morning arrived in town, the CHIEF who unites all hearts. He left Spurrier's pretty early, and lighted at Bryden's about 8 o'clock, escorted in by captains Hollingworth's and Bentalou's troops, who went out last evening for that purpose. About 10, the 2d and 27th regiments (as many as from the shortness of the notice could get ready), had the gratification of being reviewed by him, in Market-street, much to the satisfaction of a large concourse of spectators, who thronged around him, again to behold the venerable Cincinnatus, and Commander in Chief of America. The City Company, Captain Harris, waited on the General at his quarters, personally to congratulate him on once more seeing him among them in health, and made open ranks for him to pass through as he came out to review the troops. He was accompanied as he marched in front of the line, by Generals Smith and Swan; his Secretary, Mr. Lear; Judge Chase, and several other gentlemen. About 1 he proceeded on his way to Trenton, escorted by the Fell's-point troop.

The object of the Commander in Chief in going to Trenton, is, we understand, to attend a grand council of the executive and general military officers of the union. The President, and the three late unsuccessful Ambassadors to France, we also learn, are to be present.

Americans! what measure of gratitude is not due to a man, loaded with years and glory, who so ardently wished to terminate his days in the peaceful shades of Mount Vernon, again coming forth, to sustain the toils of council and the fatigue of war, to perpetuate that liberty which he so gloriously achieved for his country.
