By day light, a large flag, bear lug the motto of ia No Surf ender," Was seen flying over each of the gates, and the bells began to ring out various airs popularly united a ith the events of the siege. At one the apprentice boys assembled in the area of the Linen Hall, when, being joined by some joyous parties of Orangemen, they commenced marching round the city, stopping at the different gates, fi•ing volleys at each, giving at the •same time loud cheers for the royal and noble defenders of the Constitution. On returning to the Linen Hall, they were addressed by the Rector of Mi gilligan, who, in the course of his speech, told them how grateful they ought to be for their present well-grounded assurance that their venerated Monarch, together with his Majesty's hereditary Counselled., the august House of Peers, and the population of the sister isle, from Kent to Caithness,wcre now arrayed in behalf of the maligned and persecuted Protestants of Ireland. After the firing and ecstatic expressions of loyalty had finished, two festive Meetings took place, one of the Apprentices, &c. and the other of a numerous party of distinguished Gentlemen.
