Philadelphia. . Last Tuesday afternoon arrived in this city
from France, by way of Boston, his Excellency the Chevalier
de la Luzerne, the new Minister Plenipotentiary, from our
august ally, his Most Christian Majesty, to these United

They were met some distance from the city, and escorted in
by the militia light horse, and their arrival was announced
by the ringing of the bells and firing of cannon.
