The Daily Advertiser

On the 17th inst. after an absence of nine years, arrived in Boston, from England, his Excellency JOHN ADAMS, Esq. late Ambassador from the United States of America, to the Court of Great-Britain—with his lady. His Excellency the Governor having previously ordered, that every mark of respect be paid his Excellency on his arrival, the approach of the ship in which he arrived, was announced by a signal from the Light-House and a discharge of cannon from the Castle—when off the Castle he was saluted with a federal discharge of cannon from that fortress, and when the ship had arrived at her moorings, the Secretary of the State, by order of his Excellency the Governor repaired in his Excellency's carriage to the end of the pier, from whence, in the State barge, the Secretary waited on the Ambassador on board, and in his Excellency the Governor's name, congratulated him on his arrival, and invited him and family to his Excellency's seat. The wind being fresh and fair, the ship arrived at town too early to admit our fellow citizens receiving his Excellency in the manner they had previously intended—Notwithstanding, short as the time was, the Pier was crowded and his Excellency welcomed on shore by three huzzas from the several thousand persons. The Secretary of the State accompanied his Excellency in the barge on shore, where his Excellency the Governor's carriage waited for him—in which he, his lady, the Secretary of the State, and others, rode to the Governor's house, receiving as he passed the compliments and congratulations of his fellow-citizens. The bells in the several churches rang during the remainder of the day—every countenance wore the expressions of joy—and every one testified that approbation of the eminent services his Excellency has rendered his country, in a manner becoming freemen, federalists, and men alive to the sensations of gratitude.

Mr. Adams resides at the house of his Excellency the Governor—where he on Tuesday received the congratulations of his Honor the Lieutenant-Governor, the Hon. Council, and the heads of the several departments of government, on his safe arrival in his native country.

Besides his Excellency Mr. Adams, and Lady, the Rev. John Murray, John Stuart, Esq. Collector of Customs for the island of Bermuda, and Mr. William Boyd of Portsmouth, came passengers with Capt. Callahan.
