For several day previously, the Metropolis of the Nation had been gradually riding with visiters Irorn the more distant States of the Union. Yesterday, and the day previously the contiguous counties of Maryland and Virginia, and the city ol lJal'imore, poured in in vast multitudes and parties of eager citizens, who travelled on in various ways, by land and water, on foot, in carriages or in boats, to witness the inauguration of their beloved Chief. It cannot reasonably be expected that vre shall lay before the pub.ic a very de tailed or accurate account ol yesterday s interesting proceedings and ceremonies. To staisfy, however, the demand for an caily notice, we present 'die followina sketches of the scenes and incidents of the day. Tni: MotiMNo. Early ia the morning, long before sun-rise, the shrill whistling of cars and the trampling of feet alonir Pennsylvania avenue towards the Iiote?s and boarding houses, gave notice that our number of isiters was greatly timii'i and that the austuctous day of IIU 4 Viiwiii-, " - t the inauguration had arrived. The inornirt" broke somewhat cloudily, and the horizon seemed rather to betoken snow or rain. At sun-rise a salute of 2i guns were fired from the Mall, south of their e-un room, by a party of the Columbia Artillerists, acting under the command of r.jnL HuckiP.eham. boon alter tae nrmg of these guns, the entiro body, apparent ly, of our citizens and numerous visiters, roused from their slumbers, thronged the Pennsylvania avenue and our principal ircets. and gave to them a very animated snd lively appearance, the throng continued to increase until 8 o'clock, when the various delegations, military companies 'r;n...,n,io rln'ii. associations. a'.Hl el.lIiv.(.n''' 7rns. ascmbled at their respective po:ls r.r- Pmi wmv. Not n alter 10 it ..Vhvk. the procession moved from the head of Foui-and-a-half-strect; when a sa lute of three (juris announced their marc.i towards the quarters of the Fiesident .tt Havimr there received lieneral (:ilV" & . Harrison, attended by his personil friends, the procession moved from the quartet: of the President elect, up E street to lltl street, up Hth to F street, up F to 15tl treet. down lotli to Pennsylvania ave ivue. down Pennsylvania avenue to the untit h rate of the eastern vard of th Capitol, exactly as laid down in the pro gramme. Occupying a favorable position in front of Drown s Hotel, wc uoliecu ttie proas

ion as it passed along the most publics part of Pennsylvania avenue to the" Capitol, the scene was hihiy interesting ami imposing. The ladies every w here front the windows, on encii side of the avenue, waved their Iiandkcichiefs or hands in token of their kind feelings, ami lieneral Harrison returned their smiles and greetings witli repeated bows. The enthusiastic cheers of the citizens

who moved in i he procession, were with equal enthusiasm responded to by thou SatlUS OI CltlZPll snpfl.ltnrs wbn lino, I ----- - . u v nnv'Vi ide windows, in the numerous balconies, on the tops of houses, or on other elevated Stands. At the head of tbn nrnreesmn was the Chief Marsha!, who was mount ed on a fine horse, snitahk- Mnarik.inwb ;'.s also Were his two ai !s. 'J he miii tary portion of the procession wab remarkably fine and soldier-Sike, Aluchoi ilits, no doubt, was ovvinn to Major Fritz, of the Philadehdiia Nation al lireys, wliose company and exceilr.ut band ol music were objects of particular notice and great admiration. The mili tary marched along in the following order: 1. The Potomac Dragoons, commanded by Capt. Mason, a fine body of Cavalry, consisting chiefly of citizen soldiers from lieorgetown. We never saw the i otomac Dragooi.s turn out to well or appear to great an advantage, 'i. The Columbia Artillerists, commanded by Capt. Buckingham. Their Revolutionary costume, venerable appearance, and precise movements, as they marched along with their two field pieces, gained them ere-it credit. he National (irevs. of Philadel phia, commanded by Major Fritz, a line body of men, well disciplined and soldierlike in all their movements. 1. The Washington Light Infantry, commanded by Capt. France, a full company, numbering about !"0 muskets, we'd uniformed, and showing to more advantage than on any former occasion. 5. The National Iilues, commanded by Capt. .Mi idleton, marching well, and also making a soldier-like appearance. After the officers and soldiers who fought under (leneral Harrison came the Pi:i:sio;:NT Ellct, mounted on a white charger, and accompanied by his suit of personal friends. Da his iijht were seven Citizen Marshals; on his left were the Marshal of the District of Columbia and his four aids. Then followed, in the order of the programme, the Delegates of the Young Men's CVnve:;:io: tudJ at I?a!iimorc, May 1, IS O. Tl ie Delegates bore .uong Willi t:ie:n. in the pro ssion, tome very !;ar.li i somc ori.'iiu rs, as th.l also the citizens of each sure and territory, a they -;p; t atld with ;he rtspective Tipptcauoe clubs and associations. Among the banners A hich seemed to attract very particular notice, was a very large one from Cayuga county, New York, representing General Harrison in military costumo on horseback. t?cvcial olher handsome banners having patriotic and suitable mottos, appeared with the South Carolina and Alabama Delegations, and from Prince George's county, Maryland. From the lattcreountv the delejattoa was very numero'vs and jiinted. Hesitles their handsome and apropriato banner tliere was exhibited a i i i i I i vehicle drawn bv six splenuiu. wane iorses, all suitably caparisoned, and bearng bells, containing weaving upparalus. itc. with the operatives working there with as they moved in the procession. Phis curious find interesting machinery, which was furnished and directed by Mr. Caproa of the Laurel Factory, .'.'d. attracted universal notice. Along with the hince II corse's delegation was also seen i laree Log Cabin, (the emblem of a .stur dy yeomanry,) drawn by horses; the sides of the Cabin had suitable mottos and iucriptions. On it.s roof were numerous white Hags. wi:a the names oi nie&eeiae . . i r ,1. - 1 flatus who voted in favor of General lfar-i i rison. ! Fhe Virginia Delegations w ere also as narkablo for their numbers, fine ap pearance and handsome banners. I he Delegation from London county had a good band of mush: with them. 1 lie Delegation from - inchestcr was very nu merous and had also a band of music. Phe Corporations of Washington and Georgetown, the Tippecanoe cuibs, and citizens of both places, turned out in great numbers and with suitable distinclions, banners :md mottos. loi tne least interesting part of the procession from lieorgetown was the long line ol Georgetown College Students, who appeared in the College uniform, with their Faculty, bearing a white silk banner, representing, with various motion, a golden eagle with txttnded wings. Actk sachin'. t it e Caiutol. The approaches to the Capitol presented a scene t,, .rr uifv the eve of a painter, while it swei'ed the patriots heart. The throngin crowds, the groups, the solitary fooinasseinTr and then the stately coach, with its freight of fashion and beautyall caper, all animated, all in conversation and some in song all pressing onward toward the central point, told of the deep, and universal, and heart-stirring interest felt by the People in the People' Friaul. Ilere'mieht be seen a little fellow of seven or tight, his chubby cheeks rosy with iuv, his "bright eye sparkling with the

bustle and gladness of so novel a scene, waving proudly over his head a little banner, purchased probably by the savings of his pocket money for many days, on which, as the wind sported with it, was turned out to vie fv a 'log cabin,' or the 'Hero of Tippecanoe.' There was a

group of black la-borcrs, tricked out in al tfieir Sunday finery, with saucer eyes staring at the bright figures which passed ilicm, or gazing at the horse of some young apprentice, c;irrolling along the Avenue, at once the glory and mauifes danger ol his rider. There hurried along a marshal of the day with hii rose of purple, and His yellow scarf, conscious, apparently, of thedigni ty of iis station. lime strode on some offtVer, glittering in blue and gold, and feeling all ihe prouder to think that a ooldier, as well as a Patriot, was to-day to assume the supreme seat of dignity in the Republic. The Ladies, too, (Got: bless them,) shared fully in the excite ment of the hour: their eyes glancing, their cheeks flowing, and their tongues (for ladies have such things) were in rapid and harmonious motion. Every thing was in it.-3 best bib ami tucker. Lvery thing you met, every thing you saw, seemed to cry on:, 'this is ihe long-wailed, loag-wished for day of the Inauguration. At the Capitol. In the Senate Cham Ler, though reserved for privileged per sons, there was a crowd at an early hour Long, lonir before any thine; official was to be seen or heard, the Ladies' Circular Gallery on the one hand, and the Gentlemen's Gallery oti the other, w ere liiied to overflowing. What eager look, what rich and lustrous tin wis, what waving handkerchies and il tittering land were there to be seen! Nods of recognition, smiles of pleasure, 'peering look of eager curiosity every where met the eye. When some full uniformed officer of the Army or ravy entered the Hall, with his straw-colored plumes and his massive epaulettes, what a craning out of snowy necks, what an exchange of enquiries, what looks of awakened interest pervaded the circle! Scott and Gaines, Macomb ami Jones', and Wool, presented a brilliant group, calling up associations connected with days that are past; while on the opposite side iniirli! be seen a civil group of no less intt test embracing the nominated members of the new Cabinet, inspiring auguries not less cheering of future prosperity and glory. The Senate (convened by the President in extra Session) having been called to order by the Secretary, the oath of office was, by order of the Senate, administered bv Mr. CI y to Mr. King of Alabama, (on his ic-elec'.'em lor a new term,) who was then unanimously re-elected I'ri M-'enl ; ro'eaipore of thai b dy. Mr. King thereupon took the Chair ol the Senate. The Diplomatic Corps now entered the Hall, and assumed the scats piovided for them in front, and on the -left the Chair. A most brilliant appearance they made, decorated, as they were, not only with the insignia of their various orders, but half covered with ihe richest embroidery in silver and ia gold. Had this group ot disiineuished personages, however, been stripped of ail external designations, the eve of ihe most casual observer could not have '"ailed instantly to recognize the marked dint-rence which distinguished them from us, as foreigners. Cuvier might, very possibly, have told, from their head alone, the dili'erciit nation. irmn which they came. (In the opposite side of the Chair ap peared, soon after, in the strongest conrast, the array of the Judges of the Su preme Court, in their black robes, with their grave, intellectual, reflecting coun tenances. There was a simple, quiet,iir.nreteiidinL' air about this body of highly fUcnifipil men to which outward adorn ments would have added nothing but an alloy. The late Vice President and the Vice President elect became the next objects ol notice. i ney auvauceu n'tcimi iu - fiM 1.. n.l i ,..r.tl.if t . t V -i r steps of the Presidents chair, wnen ior, Tvler. havimr been presented to me pre siding office., took the oath of office, and then ascending to the chair, wnicn nau been vacated lor Ins reception ly iur.

The new Senators were then successively sworn in and took their seats. At twenty minutes past 12 o clock, the warning note was heard from the table of the Vice President, when Gen. Harrison entered and took the seat prepared for him u: front of the Secretary's table. He looked cheerful but composed : his bodily health was manifestly perfect; there was an alertness in his movement which is quite astonishing, considering his advanced age, the multiplied hardships through which his frame has passed, and the fatigues he has lately undergone. Afier he had retained his seat for a few minutes, preparations were made for formin f the line of procession to the platform prepared for the ceremony cf the Inauguration, erected over the front steps of the Portico of the east front of the Capitol. The procession was on the prescribed order, as yesterday announced by aithoriH of ihe Committee of the Senate.

When the uproar had subsided, it was succeeded by the deep stillness of expectalon. ntnl tho new President forthwith proeetc .j to reatl. in accents loud and clear, his address to the nation. Of the character of this paper which occupies its due space in the preceding columns we forhnir nnre !n crvftlr rosr-ri'inn tvlnl vr lave to say respecting it to a more leisure moment, in Us delivery Ihe voice ol lien. Harrison never flagged, but to the end re tained its full and commanding tone. b lie touched on successive topics lying neaf the, heart of the people, their sympathy with his sentiments was manifested by shouts which broke forth involuntarily from time lo time; and, when the reading of the Address was concluded they were renewed and prolonged without re straint. Previous to delivering the closing sentences of the address, the oath of ofiiee, rendered by the Chief Justice, was taken by the President, in tones loud, distinct ar.d solemn, manifesting a duo and deep impression of the act; after which, the President pronounced the remaining passage ofjiis Address. The pealing cannon then announced to the country that it had a new Chief Magistrate. The procession was again formed; and, sett ng out from the Capitol, proceeded along the Pennsylvania avenue to the mansion of tho President, cheered thiougluuit the whole route as General Harrison passed, by the immense crowds on fool which lined the avenue, and the hardly less numerous assembly of fe males who filled the doors and windows along the whole route. the PnnsiDENi's IIojse .

It waa iust so when you owned this country theru was no peace and quiet so loii" aa the win toiks owned Canada and Nova Sco tia; and when at last you conquered them. me only mistake you made was m letting that lingo be spoken there in the laws. Thi.ske.nt up a constant inward discontent and grumbling, till a few years ago it broke out in a fresh spot, and your soldiers was .net on them and cut their throats and burnt their houses, and fhia was considered. J strange aiul inhrhian by some of our'folk near the lines, who could not see the necessity in a country of laws for this unnat'ral severity, that they bristled right up, by a sort of a nat'ral enimal sympathy, j?t v.i the pigado when they hear a sque'el ot one of their kind caught by agate or n dog without .'topping to inquire whose pig he is, bristletj up and shou'3 fight. This is about the amount and cause of present frontier feeling, and it soems nat'ral to the Anglo-Saxon family, and dies n nat'ral death a3soonns the causo is explained and examined info. I don't care to .ray any thing in this letter about the N. E. boundary "line, or tho burning of the Caroline, or the capturo and trial of McLeod,or the taking or cxaminingour vessels on the Ccast of Africa, or mo Oregan claims, and things of that natur, all thi.? is the business of the Government, and they aro all matters of law anl treaty, and will go through that mill, and will, and nmftt come out strait, no matter whose toes are pinched. Put there ii one tiling I will say that the law will havo its way here, from a Justice's Court to the Supreme tribunal, and no man, or set of mm can prevent it, and no nation can awe it and i: is all good old English law to. If a treaty says n line shall run thui or so thus or so it will go just a j a deed of a farm runs. If in free countries, like England and America, folks have a. right to go where they please, they may go, and if they invade other couutrk-s, and get caught, it is their look out, and they nius't suiter tho consequences, thaytmi't claim the law of their country to protect them, though they may claim, if thoycan, il3 animal symputhy. Now, to show you how this works what has been done by this country to shigld tho fo!k3 who got caught in Canada, making war there from this side? Nothing. Yon hanged some, and others you sent to Porta ny Pay, by the law, and that was right, presuming they had a fair trial and we shall do the same on all occasions, and that will keep things strait by the law, and be a;tsured.of one thing, that we shall never hang a man here, unless it is clear ly shown by the law ho richly deserves it, for a man has to make considerable in terest here to get hanged; the natur of our folks preferring to shut him up if he is u bud man, and keep him from doing harm 'till he is fit to let out, and get cn honest" living.
