Gazette Of The United States, & Philadelphia Daily Advertiser

GENERAL ELECTION.

The Legislature of this Commonwealth, will meet this day, at ten o'clock, at the New State-House, for the dispatch of public business. After the organization of the two branches (in which, without presumption, we anticipate an unanimous re-election of the officers of last year) the Supreme Executive and Legislative bodies will proceed to the Old Brick Meeting-House, where a Sermon will be delivered by the Rev. Paul Coffin, of Buxton. In the afternoon the two branches will convene for filling up the vacancies in the Senate, and the returns of Governor, &c. will be laid before them.

There are Ten vacancies in the Senate; and there are Ten very suitable candidates to fill them.

The House, we expect, will consist of nearly two hundred members—Three quarters of whom are decided federalists.

The Independent Cadets, under Major Perkins, will do the escort duties of the day. The salutes, at twelve o'clock, will be paid by Major Wild's Sub Legion of Artillery, from the Common and Copp-Hill.

The President of the United States will honor the solemnities of the day with his presence.

We lament, that His Excellency the Governor's state of health is such, as to prevent his participation in the duties, devotions and festivities of the day. Yesterday, however, he was so much at ease, as to be able to sign the Proclamation for dissolving the Old Legislature.

Yesterday the Officers of the 15th Regiment of the Permanent Army paid their respects to The President of the United States, at his residence in Braintree. The President was in full uniform ;-and denied himself the pleasure of meeting the Academy of Arts and Sciences, which assembled in this town yesterday, that he might receive them.

The Officers of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery, also paid their respects to the President yesterday.
