Joseph Bonaparte, (Count Servillier,) arrived at Powles-Hook yesterday, from Bordentown, (N. J.) and crossed the ferry with his carriage to this city, on his way to Saratoga Springs. He was met at the landing by one of the marshals acting under the authority of the Board of Health, and ordered back, as having been in Philadelphia within 30 days. He had not been in that city since the 5th of August, and when there stopped only two hours. He, however, cheerfully submitted, and procuring fresh horses of the Messrs. Lyons, pursued his journey on the west side of the Hudson river. When the proclamation of the Mayor was shewn to him, interdicting the intercourse with Philadelphia, he remarked it was a very good law, and he should obey it.
