Arrived in the Delaware, off this place, last evening, the U. States' ship Neptune, 43 days from Plymouth, having on board Messrs. Bayard and Crawford.

The last accounts from Europe, respecting the health of Mr. Bayard, had caused great anxiety, more especially in the minds of those who were acquainted with him as a private citizen. At the same moment were seen rushing to the wharves, the inhabitants of this borough. and numbers from the vicinity, who had previously noticed the Neptune ascending the Delaware. The boat, that had gone to the Neptune, now arrived at the wharf. An awful silence ensued. As soon as it was known that Mr Bayard was on board the Neptune, though very ill, the assemblage burst into loud huzzas, in consequence of the return of that distinguished statesman and esteemed fellow citizen.
In the evening he was brought from the Neptune to his house, having been confined to his bed for 70 days.
