Washington's Triumphal Entry into New York. This beautiful Print, now offered to the public, is the best work of its kind ever produced in this country, and is designed to illustrale the historical event of the triumphal entry of General George Washington into New York on the 25th of November, 1783, the same day on which the British Army evacuated that city. The drawing was executed and printed in Oil Colors, at the Establishment of P. S. Duval & Son, Philadelphia, and is the largest specimen of Chromolithograph ever executed. The view is represented at the point ( f junction of Third Avenue and the Bowery. The annexed descrip- tion will explain all of the important characters in the picture. George Washington was born in Westmoreland county, Virginia, about half a mile from the " notion of Pope's Creek with the Potomac, on the 221 of February, 1732, he was descended otn an old family of tlie English aristocracy. The name of Washington as a family was known jrst about the middle of the 13th century. There was a manor of this name in the county of Durham, England, from the possession of which descended the branches of the Washington family, both in England and America. Of Washington little may be said here, it is presumed that a name so completely identified with the glory of our nation is familiar to every child, and the part which he played in the history of this country familiar as household words. He died 1799. George Clinton, born in Ulster county, New York, in 1739. He studied law, and in 1768 was elect.- I to a seat in the Colonial Legislature. In 1775 was a member of the Continental Congress. Iu 1776 was appointed a Brigadier in the Army.

J. Knox, b rn in Boston in 1750. At the time the Revolutionary War broke out, he was engaged asa bookseller in that town. His gallant bearing as a volunteer, and services to Congress, sui is* '.uently procured for him a commission as Brigadier, giving him command of the artillery deputment of the army. He was always near to Washington, and was with him in all his battles. After the capture of Cornwallis, was commi>sioned a Major-General. In 17b5 succeeded Lincoln in the office of Secretary of War. He died at Thomaston, Maine, in 180l5. Israel Putnam was born in Salem, Massachusetts, on the 7th of January, 1718. He was appointed to the command of the first troops rai ed in Connecticut for the French and Indian Wuis in 1775. After the peace, he returned to his farm, and remained thus until the affair at Lexington. At the head of Connecticut troops, he distinguished himself in the battle of Bunker Hill. His last military services were performed at West Point and vicinity, in 1779. He died at Brooklyn, Windham county, Connecticut, on the 29th of May, 179d, aged 72 years. Kosciusko born in Lithuania, 1756, of an ancient and noble family ; educated at the Military School of Warsaw. He came to America, recommended to General Washington by Benjamin Franklin, and who appointed him an Aid, also an engineer, with the rank of Co.onel, in October, 177o. He f.ntitied the camp of General Gates in his campaign against Burgoyne, and afterwards was sent to West Point, to erect the works there. At the close of the war he ret nined to his native country, and became at once the spirit of that country's revolutionary Struggles. Being made a prisoner, and carried to St. Petersburgh, he was after some time liberated, by- ; Paulj J 797 ; he visited again the United States, and received a grant fiom Congress for his services. He died in Switzerland, October lu'th, 1817. B Lincoln was born on the 3d of February, 1733 His occupation that of a farmer, which he continued in his native town. Hingliam. Massachusetts. Until at the age of forty years, he «ngaged in civil and military duties. In 1774, he was appointed a Major-General of the Militia. 2 In 1777, he joined Washington at Morristown with a reinforcement. On the 19th of that month, Congress appointed him Major-General in the Continental Army ; wounded at Saratoga severely: appointed to the chief command in the Southern Department, and arrived at Charlestown in December, 1778. The following May was in common with the largest portion of the Southern Army made prisoner at Charleston by Sir Henry Clinton. The succeeding November he was exchanged, and the ensuing spring joined Washington on the Hudson. He was present at the surrender of Cornwallis, and was deputed to receive that Commander's sword. After this event he was elected Secretary of War, which he held for three years, and then returned to his farm. In 1786 — 7, he commanded the militia in the suppression of Shay's insurrection. In 1787, he was elected Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts ; was appointed Collector of the Boston Port 1789, which he held for twenty years.

Nathaniel Greene was born of Quaker parents in Rhode Island in 1740. He was an anchor smith, and was pursuing his trade when the Revolution broke out. He hastened to Boston after the skirmish at Lexington, and from that time until the close of the war he was one of the most useful officers in the army. He died near Savannah, in June, 1786, and was buried in a vault in that city. His sepulchre cannot now be identified. No living person knows in what vault his remains were deposited, and there is no record to cast light upon the question. Gilbert Motier De La Fayette was born 6th September, 1757, in France; and in 1774, married the daughter of the Duke de Noailles, a lady enjoying an immense fortune. In 1777, he magnanimously joined the Revolutionary Army, and by his arms, fortune, and influence at Court, greatly aided in securing onr independence. In October, 1778, he obtained a leave of absence to .visit France, returning again to America in the spring of 1780, having procured troops, arms and ammunition from his native country. After the capture of Cornwallis, he returned to France to raise another supply of men and means, when the news of peace reached him. He returned to America in 1784, where he was most cordially received. Again he revisited his native country, and played a distinguished part in all the great events attend- ing the Revolution and its excitements, from 1789 to 1793. In consequence of his mode- ration, he was obliged to flee France, and, being caught, was for three years confined in a dungeon at Olmutz, Germany. The first downfall of Bonaparte brought him again into public life, and in 1815, he was a member of the Chamber of Deputies. In 1824, he visited the United States by invitation, as the guest of the nation, in the United States vessel-of-war Brandywine, and was received everywhere with the most extravagant manifestations of joy. In the Republican Revolution of France, 1830, he refused the crown of Constitutional Monarch, and designated Louis Philippe as its recipient. La Fayette died in 1834, aged 77 years. Frederick William Augustus, Baron de Steuben, was a German. Holding important positions in the Prussian Army, being Aid-de-camp to Frederick the Great, and also Lieutenant-General in the service of Prince Charles of Baden, subsequently appointed Knight of the Order of Fidelity: tendered many offers by the King of Sardinia, and the Emperor of Austria, yet he left all and came to America to fight as a volunteer. He joined the American Army at Valley Forge, was in the action on the field of Monmouth; he commanded in the trenches at Yorktown, the last great battle of the Revolution. At the close of the war, the State of New Jersey gave him a farm, the Legislature of New York presented him with 16,000 acres of wild land in Oneida County, and the General Government granted him a pension of $2,500. He built himself a house at Steubenville, New York, where he resided in summer, and during the winter lived in the city. He died 28th of November, 1798, aged 64 years. Agreeably to his request he was wrapped in his cloak, placed in a coffin, and buried in a lonely spot in the woods near his hut. Subsequently a road being laid out over his grave, his remains were removed and buried in the town of Steuben, seven miles north-west of Trenton Falls. Horatio Gates was a native of England, and was educated for military life. He was the first Adjutant-General of the Continental Army, and was made Major-General in 1776. He retired to his estate in Virginia at the close of the war, and finally took up his abode in New York, where he died in 1806, at the age of 78 years. Rev. David Jones was born in White Clay Creek Hundred, New Castle County, Delaware, on 12th of May, 1736. His ancestors were from Wales, and settled on the Welsh Tract. His ministerial education was obtained from the Rev. Isaac Eaton of Hopewell, New Jersey. For many years he was pastor of the Upper Baptist Freehold Church in that State, from which he went on a religious mission to the Shawnee and Delaware Indians. He again returned to his charge at Freehold, and by his zealous espousal of the Colonial cause, became so obnoxious to the Tories, that to save his life he removed to Chester County, Pennsylvania, in 1775, and took charge of the Great Valley Baptist Church. On the occasion of the Continental fast, he preached a sermon entitled, " Defensive War in a Just Cause Sinless," which exerted a very salutary influence. In 1776 he was appointed Chaplain to a Pennsylvania Regiment under Colonel St. Clair, which was ordered to the Northern Department. He served through two campaigns under General Gates, was Chaplain to a Brigade under Wayne in 1777, with whom he was also at the battle of Monmouth, and all his subsequent campaigns until the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown in 1781. He was at the massacre at Paoli, and narrowly escaped death. A few 3 days before, he had been at the battle of Brandywine and also at Germantown. His activity had become so notorious that General Howe offered a reward for him, and a detachment was sent to the Great Valley to secure him. In 1794 he accompanied Wayne on the North-western expedition against the Indians. When the war of 1812 broke out, he again entered the army, being 76 years of age, and served under Generals Brown and Wilkinson, until the close of the contest. His last public act was to address the people assembled to dedicate the Paoli monu- ment. He died on the 5th of February, 1820, aged 84 years, and was buried in the Great Valley Church-yard in sight of Valley Forge. Stephen Hopkins was born at Scituate, Rhode Island, on the 7th of March, 1707. He was a self-taught man, became member and speaker of the Rhode Island Assembly, and in 1754 was a member of a Convention of Delegates from the several Colonies held at Albany. He was a member of the first Continental Congress in 1774, and also was a member in 1776. He left that body in 1778, and was afterwards a member of the Legislature of his native State. He died on the 19th of July, 1785, in the 78th year of his age. Alexander Hamilton was born on the island of Nevis, British West Indies, on the 11th January, 1757. He was of Scottish descent by his father, French by his mother. He was fond of study and writing, which secured for him the co-operation of his friends in sending him to New York to be educated. He was placed under the tutorship of Francis Barber of New Jersey who became himself a distinguished officer of the Revolution, he entered King's College, 1773, and at seventeen years of age addressed public meetings. His political writings in 1774: — 5, gave him considerable reputation. When the Revolution broke out, he entered the field as an Artillery Captain. He fought at White Plains : was with his company at Trenton and Princeton. In 1777, Washington appointed him his Aide-de-Camp, with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. He was Washington's chief Secretary and confidential Aide, until 1781, when with the same rank he obtained the command of a light corps, and with these he fought bravely at Yorktown under La Fayette. 1782, left the army, and was admitted to practice at the bar of the Supreme Court of New York, and became a member of Congress. His pen prepared the public mind for the Federal Constitution. His financial knowledge induced Washington to appoint him his first Secretary of the Treasury. In 1804 he became involved in a quarrel with Aaron Burr, which resulted in his being challenged to mortal combat. They fought on the 12th July on the Hudson and Hamilton fell mortally wounded, surviving only long enough to meet his wife and children. Thomas Mifflin was born in Philadelphia, in 1744. His ancestors were Quakers. He entered public life in 1772, was a representative of Philadelphia in the Colonial Assembly, and a member of the first Continental Congress.

In 1785 was a member of the Pennsylvania Legislature, and in 1787 was in the Convention which framed the Federal Constitution. Under the provision of that instrument he was elected the first Governor of Pennsylvania, which office he filled for nine years.

John Marshall — The eminent Chief Justice of the United States, was" born in Fauqui* r County, Virginia, in 1755, and was the eldest of fifteen children by the same mother. Ee entered the military service in the Virginia militia against Dunmore, in 1775, and was in the battle at the Great Bridge.

In the 14th and subsequent centuries, Nicholas observed, every English soldier wore this badge over his armor.

Sir— At a moment when the arm of tyranny is yielding up its fondest usurpations, we hope the salutation of long suffering exiles, but now happy freemen, will not be deemed an unhap'pv tribute.

Permit us to welcome you to this city, long torn from us by the hard hand of oppression, but now by your wisdom and energy under the guidance of Providence, once more the seat of peace and freedom. We forbear to speak our gratitude or your praise. We should but echo the voice of applauding millions. But the citizens of New York are eminently indebted to your virtues; and we, who have now the honor to address your Excell-ncy, have often I een companions of your sufferings, and witnessed your exertions. Permit us, therefore, to approach your Excellency with the dignity and sincerity of freemen, and to assuie you that we shall preserve, with our latest breath, our gratitude to your services, and veneration for your charterer; and accept of our sincere and earnest wishes that you may long enjoy that calm domestic felicity, which you have so generously sacrificed that the cries of injured liberty may never more interrupt your repose — and that your happiness may ba equal to yuur virtues. feigned at the request of the meeting, THOMAS RANDALL, EPHRATM BRASHIER, DANIEL PUCENiX, THOMAS TUCKER, PAUL BROOME, .

Permit me in return to felicitate you on the happy re-possession of your city. Grea v , as your joy must be on this pleasing occasion, it will scarcely exceed that which I feel at seeing you, gentlemen, who, from the noblest motives have suffered a voluntary exile of many years, return again in peace and triumph, to enjoy the fruits of your virtuous conduct.

On the evening of the evacuation the Governor gave a public dinner, at which the Commander- in-Chief and other general officers were present. The arrangements for the whole business were so well ma'le and executed, that the most admirable tranquility succeeded through the day ai d night. On Monday the Governor gave an elegant entertainment to the French Ambassador, the Chevalier de la Suzerne. Gen. Washington and the principal officers of New York State and of the aimy, and upward of a hundred gentlemen, were present. Magnificent fire-works, infinitely exceeding everything of the kind ever before seen in the United States, were exhibited at the Bowling; Green in Broadway, on the evening of Tuesday, in honor of the definitive treaty of peace.
