A line was formed, and he was conducted through the north gate or the Capi tol Square, under the La Fayette Arch, to the Cat tral Arch, the interior of which bore the inscription of The Temple of Independence.

Richmond, October 30. On Thursday, he proceeded to comply with his engagement to attend the race field, and to dine with the Jockey Club. The race was a beautiful one, between Mr Johnson's Juliette, Mr. Wynn's Flir tillu, and Mr Long's Marion.— Flirtilla won the first heat; Janette the two last. The purse gl 000. Mr. Johnson changed the name ol the conquering mare immediately to Virginia La Fayette. The Jockey Club sat down to dinner a little after three o'clock. The guests were numerous and em inently respectable ; the dinner sumptuous ; the company animated and gay. General La Fayette gave the following toast. May all the nations enter the course of Freedom — We Ameiicans have won the first race, but the noble prize is icIt lo every one of the competitors." - ol General La Fayette, who is travelling in the Uni ted Statt s, is evet y where teceived with >he same enthusiastic welcome which marked his landing on the American shores. The public prints of that country (which we regret we have not room to quote) devote a large portion of their columns to the details of his interesting journey : and the deep leeling of patriotism and joy which his presence in spires, though to a cold observer it may appear ro mantically intense, must afford the ve-can soldier ol indr Uendenre a giatificaiinn which monarchs might envy, and is highly honorable to American charac ter. We should think little indeed ol any country that could forget the services ol an early and disinte rested friend—and he,too, a foreigner: and we should, perhaps, belter compliment a free people by consid ering such a demonstration of national gratitude as a matter of course, than holding it up as an exam pie ol pan iotic virtue. Liverpool Mercury. a Therehas been for a long time past a frontier dis content on the northern boundaiiesof the United States. Our Canadian neighbors have been pecu liarly sensitive on the subject of ministerial aggres sion, and talk wiih alarm and jealousy on Parliament at y interference with their internal concerns. The subject of complaint now is, that it is proposed at the next session ol Parliament by the ministry to pass what is called a union bill, that is, to unite the gov eminent of the Upper and Lower Canadas. It is rumored that this high handed measure will take place it is added in the Canadian papers that seven-tenths of the freeholders of both provinces petitioned against it and not one-tenth in its favor. Our Canadian neighbors go on to say " it is indeed, even now, al most impossible to believe that the British Govern ment has seriously thought of governing three fourths of a million of British subjects in North America, otherwise than by the confidence and af fection of the people, which can alone be acquired and preserved by maintaining them in their estab lished rights with equal justice to all, without any distinction whatsoever. Should the contrary, how ever, be the case, or His Majesty's Government be inconsiderately engaged in measutes ol a contrary nature, the difficulties of the Canadas will then have commenced." Very well gentlemen, go on ; this sounds a lit tle like a declaration made in a document which is held in high esteem amongst a people once the col onists of Great Britain like yourselves.
