The President of the United States arrived here last evening, and was welcomed to our metropolis with every mark of enthusiastic respect, veneration and esteem. He was conducted across the river in the Custom House barge, accompanied by Generals Clarkson and Hughes; and was complimented on embarking by a salute from the British frigate Topaze, and escorted by her officers in her barge. On landing he was received by a large military escort, under Col. Morton; and as he passed the streets "you would have thought the very houses shouted," so many and incessant were the acclamations of joy. After reviewing the troops and expressing high satisfaction at their discipline and martial appearance, he repaired to his son's house. A salute was fired from the battery, and the bells of Trinity vibrated delightfully to the tune of "Hail Columbia." In the course of the evening the President was waited on by most of the distinguished characters of the city.
July 29. Yesterday the President left town for his seat at Quincy. He was escorted out by the Washington troop.
