Col. Morton will proceed with the reft of the troops, as shall be com municated to him by the brigadier general. Those officers of the brigade, not de tached on particular ferriee, who make it convenient to assemble, mounted, will be -very acceptable to the brigadier general, on hi? route to meet the President. By order, John Morton, Maj. of Brig. It having been determined by a large iiurtiber of eirizens to give an entertainment, at the city hotel, to the President of the United States on his arrival in this city (which is daily expected) the committee of arrangement have fignified to the 1 major of brigade, that it would be a desirable cir- ■ cumftance to be joined, in this attention to ' the chief magistrate of our nation, by the officers of the brigade. For this purpose, ' therefore, fubfeription papers will be open- j ed by the major of brigade, and left with . the adjutants of the different regiments ; and also at his offict, where the adjut'tots I will be supplied with tickets of admission. i ■ N.

THOMAS GREENLEAF. d« ty , Communication. to ' ITie suggestion, contained in a morning tr. print, and copipd, with comments of appro bation in an evening one, that it would be nri much to our credit if the money fubferibed sot en entertsimnent in honor of the Presi dent were collected and remited to Philadel- dn phia for the fufFeriiig poor,—ls an indirect ahemj)t of the party utterly unworthy of being regarded. That the of that jti|fortunate eity fhouM be affilled by the ; n(! Citizens of New .Yorkj is a w fentiment that err meets the approbation of us all—though un- ( ' le happily active measures have yet been '"' r ' attempted to give it effeft. But,.the intcn tion of the paragraph alluded to, consider- t he ing the quarto- where it originated, or the tlie channel through which it communicated, is al "' not so much to countenance, as to difcour- co " age a good aflion. If Cit. Monroe or any other citizen were the objeft, would such art cou attempt have, been made? No. But when pen it is proposed to receive with refpeft the Pre- P ot fident, —the? man who deserves well of his tlie country, the Patriot, the tried Statesman, / —the mod pitiful-artifices are attempted, to V ic. divert the public attention, by bringing into ticu sriew the affefling fcenesofa neighouring ci- ta ' c ty. 'Tis well enough for a hals-starved de- atta . mocrat to propose this—Poverty, though willing, can do little—but if that little is judiciously done, it is well—But tl\e otjeß j conl of the proposal inferred to, is not what it ' profeffes to be—The Subscribers to-this en tertairtment will generally be such as can ; uu , afford it—and afford something besides, for who the fufferersat Philadelphia—and it is belie- us ved, if the paragraphift would be at the tran pain 9of soliciting donations from the gen- n tlemen, or if it found* better, Citizens, he fl,e« would meet with more success than at a he si feaft in honor of an recalled ambassador, or other chief of th?
