New York, Sept. 6.

La Fayette's return to New York.—Yesterday about one o'clock, Gen. La Fayette landed in this city from the steam boat Oliver Ellsworth. A national salute was fired from the Franklin 74, at the Navy Yard, as he passed. The citizens along the shores and wharves of East River, for two miles, kept up a continued acclamation for the whole distance. The Oliver Ellsworth was decorated with flags, and had on board a fine band of music. He was received at the Fulton-street wharf by the Committee of the Corporation, and conducted to his lodgings at the City Hotel. The streets were filled with people, whose anxiety to see him was unabated. He embarked at Middletown about sun-set on Saturday, and did not leave the mouth of the River until about 12 at night: but the people attended at the villages and landing places until that hour, and saluted him as the boat passed with artillery, and with cheers—at several places, handsome transparencies were exhibited of "Welcome La Fayette," &c.

The General dines this day with the Society of Cincinnati; and will be escorted from his lodgings by the Fayette Guards to Washington Hall.

General La Fayette according to the Salem Gazette was born on the 6th of September, 1756; so that on this day he is sixty-seven years of age. It is hoped that after the fatiguing journey he has had, the people will allow him a few days repose.

The next visit of the General, it is supposed, will be to Albany. He has informed the Mayor of that city, of his intention to be there a few days after the 6th inst.
