*• Before the receipt of your letter, [ had re
ceived from Coro two of the publication* of gov
ernment (the manifesto and proclamations,) by
which tbe motives alledged for tbe change that has
taken place, appearing to me 6» just and rea
senate, I considered it my iodispensable duty to
lose no time in communicating them to the govern
ment of ills UriUnnirk Majesty, for which pur
pose l dispatched His Majrsty’aship Museets, oil
the 6th instant, for England, with despatches, in
charge of my aid de camp.
“ The assurance that the government has given
as, that let v.’„atever be the fate of Spain, Spanish
America oogo. and will be the friend and ally of
Great Britain, has been very flattering to me, as
bas like arise the intention declared by tbe govern
ment, tV unite itself in the closest ties to His
Britannirk. Majesty, and to agree to the most be
nelicul communication with his majesty’s subjects,
a- soon as circimistances will allow it to reflect
•nd deliberate maturely on so important an affair,
and permit me to ss-iure it of my cordial to-npara
tion in so interesting ta discussion.
“ 1 cannot express the high value I set on the
resolution of the government in approve the re
duction and modifiralion of duties granted on the
7th October, 18CS, to my predecessor, h s excel
leney Sir Jallies Cockburne. The visible contrast
•rh.'ch tuts measure displays betwixt the com met
•i the last arid present government, is a certain
pledge of the attention the ■ supreme junta nil!
ferslow to other interesting objects, and of *t!ir*
Bfeneficial effects the rountry will derive under
its happy government, and when this time ar
fiv-s, 1 shall 1-e.l peculiar gatisiarfinn n sending
my *ecr-tary geiieral, ccle/iq^Juhn Robertson's,
far the purpose ol felicitating, the., supreme juntil,

dents which leim the grotent lies of our natioii,
Sid of which be gav« so many proofs, during his
rtner residence in that h| pi laid e city.
“ Ft-iui the foregoing, the supreme jonta will
sily see, and he convui'yf ->f tbe real sati-darti
on with which I have sejn all tbe steps hither
to, taken, and that very far from opposing the
trade and communication if the inhalulants of Ve
neatiela, it is us murh my duty as inclination to
priit/ci, in order to dray closer the bunds that
unite us.
“ ify whatever vessel is government may lie
pleared to authoriz and sind to this island, I will
famish such gnn.-> and fiber implements of war,
as rsn be spared w;ihnut|l*triinent to his majes -
ty’s servij-e. And I beg j>a will specify,tne quan

I may fulfil with all posilde exactness their or

that may be sent from
IpOre none will be ex

munic .iing the cirrutpstajres of the case to bis

“ Any ageut appointed iy the government will
be permitted to export a|y articles of war to be
procured here, under the cinditions mentioned. I

The day was greeted with salutes of artillery and
the ringing of bells, and complimentary discharges
marked several periods-aud reremonies. All the
vessels in the harbour were decorated, and their
“ streamers waved in the wind." ;
His erfeellenty the governor, escorted by the bat
talion of Middlesex cavalry, under the command of
lieut. col. Hartshorn, left his seat in Cambridge, at
9 A. M. and proceeded to the capital.
The executive procession was formed atthe state
house at eleven o’clock; and proceeded under the
escort of the Independent Cadets, to the Third Bap
tist Meeting House in Charles Street. After the
service assigned for the occasion v'rere performed
the procession returned to the State Home where a
number of iuviled guests partook of« collation.
The hoo. council, the president of the senate, and
, speaker of the house of representatives, together
with a large company of distinguished characters,
dined with bis excellency the governor, at his scat
in Cambridge.
Ibe lathers of the town, commemorated the day,
agreeably to the prescriptions of ancient usage, ne
ver departed from since the epoch it ioralis to mind,
the scarcely ever interrupted hy rival ceremonies.
At 12 o’clock the manicipul procession moved
from the representatives' chamber, in the state
house in.a manner similar, with one or two excep
lions, to what was stated in our last. The proces
sion was escorted to the Old South Meeting House
by the Boston light infantry and Winslow blues,
under the command of col. Henry Sargeant; reli
gious exercises were performed by the Rev. Mr,
Channing, and the annual oration was pronounced
by Alexander Townsend, Esq.

W hen troubles their approaches make,
Ills help is still at hand.
In vain opposing nations rage,
If God with ns abide ;
One word of hts dissolves their strength,
Ann humbles all their pride.
His wisdom sees correction meet,
He gives the dread command;
And war it« desolations spreads,
'Ihrough every trembling land.
His purpose wrought; again he speaks,
And desolations cease ;
War's loud alarms are heard no more,
A ad all the world is peace.
Mortals adore his sovereign pow’t
I Nor dare provoke his rod ;
Thiongb all your various tribe be still,
Aud know that he is God.

[ Shine, Lord, on this thy people, shine,
With beams of heav’nly grace ;
Reveal thy pow’r through all our coasts,
And shew thy cheering fare.
Amidst our realm, exalltd high,
Do thou our glory stand ;
And like a wall of guardian tire,
Surround the favour’d land.
When shall thy nan> , from shore to shore,
Sound all the earth abroad ;
And every nation know and love,

God the Creator scatters around,

While the creation’s utmost bound,

Fur rte 4thof July 1810—Old Hundred.
Again we hail the festal morn
Which echoes their immortal praise,
Whose work, an empire newly horn,
Surpass’d the deeds ofaorirut days.
When as the Tabling poets sing,
Musirk possess’d creative powers,
AmphiOn touch’d his heavenly string,
And sudden rose the Theban towers.
But Thebes and Athens, how they fell
From lull orb’d splendour add renown,
With tears their true historians tell
That discord drew tbeir glory down.
Firm may our iudepepce stand,
Lasting as time, the nation’s pride,
And mock the violating hand,
And fell Napoleon’s wrath deride.
The Selectmen's procession returned to I

House ; where, at three o’clock, the procession of
the subscribers to the Dinner at Fannie! Ha!l,“ the
rradii of American Liberty,” was formed, and pio
ceeded to their place of Entertainment, in the fol

Tbe procession passed through Park, Winter, the
Main and Stale-Streets, in which every winJowex- j
bihited a constellation ofgraienod beauty.
To render justice to the decorations of Fanuiel
Hall, powers of description to which we feel inade
quate, are necessary—We hope, however, that a |
bumble attempt to sketch the most prominent parts j
Ol the elegant and interesting scene will afford some
gratification to such of our readers as bad an op-,
por (unity to witness the brilliant special te.,
On entering the ball, in the centre of the wes
u*rn euo, trie spectators view was attracted by a
noble monument onapedestal, and surmounted by a
roup, on tbe top of which, the American Eagle W8*
beautifully pnurtrayed. On this part of llje strur
ture, three scrolls were gracefully suspended, inscrib
ed wit! the words Independence-— CoNsriTtm
on—Washington—-The space below, was a Tab
let, headed “ the 4th of July, 1776,”on which,
the following strikingly appropriate inscription *vas
written.
He that out lived that Day, and came safe bark
From those sharp martlets which the same assured,,
Shall stand on tip-foe when that day is flamed*
And rouse him at the sound of Independence.
They who lived thro’ times, and see old age,
Shall yearly feast among their couiitrymm ;
And Some shall strip their sleeves, and sbevr their
scars. t
Familiar in our mouth «s household wolds*
Shall he the names of Washington and Warren*
Hancock and Adams, Hamilton and Greene,
Knox, Franklin, Lincoln, and full many more.
Shall in our flowing cups be fresh remembered.
Our Independence then shall never go bv,
From this Day to the ending of the Woild,
But its First Founders we will commemorate.
The pedestal on which this elegant fabric arose,
w«a adorned with military and naval trophies, in
the centre of whirh, a shield, bearing the woid
'* Lfnioii" was most appositely conspicuous. On
each side of this central decoration, ainse pillars
commemorative of heroes and worthies, who assist
ed in gaining our independence or in asserting it to
the latest period of their lives. On the light a na
val colurno arose to the height of 30 feet—On this
were inscribed the names of Israel, Somers, Wads
worth and Preble—Manly, Little, Barry, Muckford
—On tbe left-“a civil and military column, of
height with tbe other, bearing the names of Ames,
Summer, Bowdoin, Trumbull, Wayne, Mercer,
Montgomery, Putman, Sullivan, Morgan, Gates,
Ward, Wooster. The, fine full length portraits of
the immortal Washington, by Stewart, and of tbe
venerable Fanuiel, by Sargent, occupied the spaces
between this columnar group, and the galleries each
side of tbe hall.
The front gallery, at the east end of the building,
exhibited an interesting display of elegance and
tasta. In the cetre, a ship fully rigged, and well
armed, bore the American naval ensigns. On her
right), the emblems of arts and sciences were dis
played—The globe, tbe press, the compass, the pa
lette, the viol, and various other articles illustra
tive of the refinement of society, were at ranged so
as to form a beautiful trophy. On the left, at the
stern of the ship, a troph"’ of agriculture, and the
na«al arts were exhibited--Here we observed the
plough, the sickle, tha harrow* the rake, the spade,
the s-ythe,and many other implements ot husbandry.
—The pillars of the hall were enrircled^with ever
greens, and the spares between them connected by
festoons of spruce and pint, with which were in
terwoven the pendants uud flags of our confederacy.
At the pedestal of every pillar, a military trophy
was formed of niusqueta and other instruments of
war. Military standards and flags of various des
criptions were distributed around the room,and the
banners of our merhamral brethren were airianged
in such a manner, as to add both to tbe beauty and
interest of tbe scene* From the centre of the roof, ’
a pyramid formed of evergreens, was suspended—
around its circular base, the names of the states
composing the union, were written in letters of gold.
In Ironi of the ship was placed a tablet, bearing
this inscription :
Rvblraind by legislative
Discourag'd Commerce drools shd diet)
Uncag’d and from Embargo free,
Flies with glad stings from ssatostjhgL
In front of those which bore the embleorof the
mjehanick and polite arts, w-s the following: ^ *

Science and arts their high perfection mid; w,
Mecbanuk power her giant band applies,

We huderstBhd that the stibgcribers to $ti

arrangements in the decoration ol the hall, and to
others of the committee for UiettiScriptiOBS. They
re fleet great credit on bis, judgment and taste, and
entitle him to the thefts* of the lottos of the foe
