Information being received on Thursday even ing that 1 HE PRESIDENT would be in town the next morning, a number of respectable citizens, about forty, paraded before sunrise, 011 horseback, and went as far as Leicelter line to welcome him, and escorted him into town.—The Worceller Company of Artillery, commanded by Maj. Tread "well, were already afiembled—oll notice being given of his approach, five cannon were fired, tor the five New-England States—three for the three in the Union—one for Vermont, which will Jpeedily be admitted—and one as a call to Rhode llland to be ready before it be too late. When the President arrived in fight of the meeting house, eleven cannon were fired—he viewed with attention the artillery company as he palled— and exprefled to the inhabitants his sense of the honor done him.—He Hopped at the United States Anns, and breakfafled, and then proceeded 011 his journey.—To gratify the inhabitants he politely pafled through town on horseback, drelled in a brown suit—and pleasure glowed in every coun tenance.—Eleven cannon were againfircd.—The gentlemen of the town escorted him a few miles, and then took their leave.

All that a grateful People could pay. And all this has been paid. In every part of the country thro which our be loved President has pafled, the roads have been lined with citizens, to hail him welcome—and the military have escorted liiin from place to place.

Not lef's grateful than their fellow countrymen are the citizens of the town of Boston.
