Boston, August 6.—Before the annunciation of his departure from Washington for Massachusetts had reached us, we heard of Mr. Adams being in the immediate vicinity of the home of his ancestors.— He left Washington on Tuesday the 31st ult was in Philadelphia on Wednesday, in New York on Thursday, which latter place he left on Friday in the steam boat Washington, in company with a large number of passengers, for Providence, and thence proceeded on Saturday by stage to Quincy. We mention these circumstances to shew as well with how much expedition the Chief Magistrate of the republic travels from the capitol to one of its distant sections, as with what little pomp and ceremony his progress on journey of between four and five hundred miles is marked.—Mr. Adams' visit to Massachusetts is understood to be one of business, connected with the obligations resting on him to fulfil the conditions of his father's will, of which he was named first executor.—Pat.
