INTELLIGENCE BY THE MAI:S, Wasuinaton, Feb, 23, 1349, General Taylor's Arrival at Wushington—H Recent Injuries, &c The long looked for and anxiously expecte: President elect arrived here this evening by th cars, at about halt-past eight o’clock. The usua hour for the cars 1s half-past seven, and long before that time the avenue and the depot were densely crowded. ‘The delay in the arrival of the cars Gave rise to fears that some accident had occurred woen at length the whistle was heard, and the first shot of the salute boomed out. A good deal of delay was experienced at the depot in gettinga paseage cleared through the crowd, s0 as to enable the General to get to his carriage; and at last, when he did start, it was with the greatest diffi- culty the immense throng was prevented from crushing him against the side ef the cara. Col. Seaton, the Mayor of the city, entered the carnage with the general, and it was then rapidly drivea to Willard’s Hotel, followed by an escort of the Rough and Ready Club, on horseback, and the whole of the crewd which had assembled to wit- ness the old hero’s arrival. Arnved at Willard’s, the sovereigns imperious- ly demanded that their future President should show them the I:ght of his countenance, which he at length complied with, and came out on the bal- cony, hatin hand. Fromsthe first moment of his arrival the most deafening cheers had marked how strongly the pecne were aflected by his pre- | sence; and when he appeared oa the balcony, it was some minutes before order could be restored. He appeared to be greatly gratified with his re- ception, and as soon as he could be heard, 3 GextLemen :—I am too unwell, even wer fied, to ma! fou & fet speech to. night, I ing from @ very serious injury Accept my sincere end beartfelt thanks for the cordial and enthusiastic reception whieh you heve giren me, and permit me to wish health and happiness to each and all of you. He then bowed and retired. In passing sarong the drawing room he courteously saluted the la- dies of the house, who were there to pay him their respects. ‘he old gentleman, notwithstanding the fatigue of hiskijourney, looked very well. He has an ex- tremely benevolent look, 5ut at the same time there are strong traces of a determined will about him. He is remarkably plain and unassuming im his appearance. A The following ane arrived in his suit: Dr. McCormiek, Major Garnett, Mr. Van Allen, Baylie Peyton, Judge Winchester, A. C. Bullitt, J. W. Benjamin, Ji T, Hodge, Mr. Christie.

Arrival of the President Elect—Proceedings in Congress. It 1s the anniversary of Buena Vista. it is the same of Austerlitz, and among the coincidents of the day is the arrival of the President elect in the federal city. It 1s an auspicious omen. On the night after the inauguration of President Polk, the National Theatre, in which the popular inau- guration ball was held the evening before, was burnt down, and a half dozen buildings around it. This wasan omen ot the fire and sword which was to characterize the administration in the war with Mexico. The omen of Buena Vista is one of @ successful government. One of our associates will give you the report of the night relating to General Taylor’s arrival ana reception. An im- mense crowd was waitiag at the depot. Cheers and shouts rent the air when the old man came | out, and, helter skelter, the multitude followed the official train of carnages up to Willard’s. Cannon were fired, rockets were sent blazing through the air, and, when the old chiet came forth at his hotel to thank the people, in hts usual modesty of manner, the shouting and cheering appeared to be spontaneous and unaaimous amon, the thousands congregated in the street. O) course itis the event of the day, and trom this night a new era commences in the political world, full of interest and of promise, because the plat- form of General Taylor adapts him to the seizure of all emergencies, free ot all restraints. And the emergencies upon which he will be called to act are as novel as his successful career, and as important as any events in the past history of the country. Leaving him at his lodgings for the present, and returning to Capitol Hill, we can only say for the present, that the proceedings in both houses were of surpassing interest to-day. In the Senate, the prospect brightens for some temporary govern- ment for the new territories, Mr. Dayton madi a strong argument for a disoretion to the Presidynt. a5 in the cases of Louisiana snd Florida. Mr. Webster was singularly pertinent in his recommendations for action upon the House bill, for temporary la lifornia, and Mr. Foote just as pecullarly in his defence of the South, in his vindication of the late caucuses, and in his zeal to confer upon Gen. Taylor the mort ample discretion with regard to the new ter- ritories. In the House, Mr. McDowell, of Virginia, electrifiud ursi the members on the floor, and the crowd in the alle ries, with his most beautiful appeal for acomproml-e on the slavery queetion. His surpassing powers of lang soemed to ring upon thee like the rolce of a prophet, or like e appeal of some of the fathers of the Constitution speaking from the grave. The gist of bis appeal was that common ground, vpon which all sections could unite, of leaving slavery in the territories to be decided upon b; people thereof, The evening brings highe! of excitement. and ® more universal enthusiasm, ia the arrival of Gen. Taylor. [t is the universal thema, and all who have seen and heard him to-night, speak in raptures of the simplicity of the man, and his sao- desty under the distinguished hon: Owered uon him by the people. May his administration promote the honor and prosperity of the couatry, and add to the lustre ef hisrenown. w. Bavrimorg, Feb. 24, 1849. Reception of General Tuylor at the Relay Houwse— Pickpocket Operations— The Hohnstocks, §c. General Taylor passed on to Washington last | might, from the West; not, however, without spending about four hours at the Relay House, within reach of our citizens. A special train, comprising nineteen closely packed cars, left the city at 4 o'clock, and on reaching the Relay House, found the General in charge of a large committee of citizens from Washington, who had | arrived out in a epecial train, whilst the people from the country around had assembled 10 great numbers. He received the Baltimoreans with a countenance beaming with pleasure, and continued to address | them for some time in a kind of running conver. sation. He cordially thanked them for the honor they had done him in iaterrupting him on his route to the capital. He regretted that the fatigue which he had undergone compelled him to remain in his car, for he would like to come down and push about ameng them, taking each and all by the hand with a hearty republican grip The General looks as tough, weather-beaten, ita, fo.
