Soon after Captain Perry's arrival at Newport be- came generally known throughout the East, complimen- tary acknowledgments, by which a grateful people sought to evince their sense of his notable services, be- gan pouring in upon him from all quarters. All the principal cities, through their common councils, ad- dressed to him their compliments accompanied with in- vitations to public dinners; and some municipalities tendered the services of volunteer companies of troops to act as his escort. T...he council of the City of New York expressed by a series of resolutions, its sense of his distinguished services, and of his officers and men, and extended to him the freedom of the city, with the request that he would sit for his portrait, to be placed in their gallery. These resolutions were properly con- veyed to Perry in a letter written by Dewitt Clinton, then mayor of New York. Captain Perry willingly con- sented to comply with the honorable request, with the result that posterity has the masterly portrait, by Jarvis, which depicts him in the act of boarding the Niagara.
