is to speak but common praise. The mili

A new paper, called “ The Advertiser,”

L’he following is extracted* from hi* inau

“ Those wno are known to the cause of my
leaving my native country, ought io be con
vinced of my great aversion ip fiarty spirit
and fiotiticul syuabbles. It was this alone,
which I may justly call the authour of my

dragged from the throne a humane and

On Wednesday last the thirty-fourth an*
niversary of our country's Independence
was celebrated by the citizens of this town
with magnificence and zeal. The dawn of
morning was welcomed by a discharge of
cannon and the ringing of bells. Nature
set med (to smile with benignity on the ef

day which gave to their country a rink
and a name among the nations of the earth.
A love of country seemed to predominate
in every breast. At half past 10 o'clock
the procession formed at the Bridge, and
under a military escort, consisting of the
Dragoons, the. Cadets, the Artillery, and
Volunteers, proceeded to the First Con
gregational Meeting-House. . The throne
of Divine Grace Whs fervently addressed
