What is this article about?

It is expected this distinguished French citizen will visit this country in the course of the ensuing month. As a patriot and the friend of liberty, he will be welcomed, wherever he goes, whether in the splendid mansion of opulence, or in the humble cottage. Newport is one of the places rendered memorable by the events of the revolutionary war, and Lafayette once commanded the army stationed on this Island; it is therefore highly probable the veteran General will pay us a visit—and it is to be hoped suitable measures will be adopted to evince our respect and gratitude to this great benefactor of America.
