The following arrangements, we are informed, are made for the reception of the President of the United States, who is expected in town on Monday next:

Brigadier General Hughes, with two troops of horse, the officers of the brigade, and citizens on horseback and in carriages, will leave Hunter's hotel at half past nine o'clock, and proceed to the bridge at Haerlem, where they will receive the President on his first arrival in the county, and will escort him to the city.

The grenadiers and infantry of the brigade under the command of colonel Morton will be stationed at the suburbs, near the Bull's Head inn; and on the arrival of the President the troops will wheel by platoons, and the procession will move down Broadway and Wall-street to Broad-street. On the arrival of the troops at the head of Broad-street, the line will be formed from the head of that street to Mr. Avery's, (the President's intended place of residence) and the President will pass the line and receive the usual military honors. The troops will again wheel by platoons, and perform the marching salute.

On the arrival of the President at the suburbs of the city, captain Ten Eyck will fire a federal salute from the Battery, which will be returned from the fort on Governor's Island. The shipping in the harbour will, we presume, pay the accustomed compliments on the occasion.
