NEW-YORK, Aug. 2.
Federal Procession,
In honor of the Constitution of the United States.
To testify the animated joy of the Citizens of New-York upon finding the Federal Constitution of Government ratified by a sufficient number of States to make it operative, it was determined that on the 23d ult. they should appear in procession as to demonstrate to the world, the pleasure, that in consequence of this event, had pervaded all ranks and degrees of the community.
The day having been more than once postponed, in the interesting hope, that this State, then in Convention, would likewise accede to the union, the Committee of Arrangements found it impossible any longer to defer the patriotic ardor of their fellow citizens. It was remembered however that the great object of exultation was not the ratifying of the Constitution by any one particular State; but the already present existence of an era in the history of man, great, glorious, and unparalleled—which opens a variety of new sources of happiness, and unbounded prospects of national prosperity!—The adoption of the Federal Plan by this State, tho' not then expected to be immediate, was however with certainty considered among those events, which time, encircling light, and an over ruling Providence would bring to view.
About ten o'clock a gun was fired from the Federal Ship Hamilton, giving the signal for the Procession to move, the different bodies of which it was composed having already collected from their various places of meeting. It now set out from the Field, proceeding down Broadway to Great-Door-Street, thence through Hanover-Square, Queen, Chatham, Division, and Arundel-Street; and from thence through Bulton-Street to Bayard's house; in the following order:
Horsemen with trumpets. Company of Artillery and field piece. After these the whole Procession was marshalled into ten divisions, each of which was preceded by a white flag borne to the honor of the ten States that had then acceded to the New Constitution.

SEVENTH DIVISION.
FEDERAL SHIP
HAMILTON,
A frigate of thirty-two guns, twenty-seven feet keel, and ten feet beam, with galleries and every thing complete and in proportion, both in hull and rigging; manned with upwards of thirty seamen and marines, in their different uniforms; Commanded by Commodore Nicholson, and drawn by ten horses.
At the hour appointed for the procession to move, thirteen guns were fired from the ship, as a signal for marching. She then got under way, with her top-sails a-trip, and coursed in the brails, proceeding in the centre of the procession. When abreast of Beaver-street, she made the proper signal for a pilot, by hoisting a jack at the fore top-mast head, and firing a gun. The pilot-boat appearing upon her weather quarter, the frigate threw her main top-sail to the mast; the boat hailed, and asked the necessary questions; the pilot was received aboard, and the boat dismissed. The frigate then filled and moved abreast of the fort, where the crew discovered the President and Members of Congress. She immediately brought to, and fired a salute of thirteen guns, which was followed by three cheers, and politely answered by the gentlemen of Congress. The procession then moved; when the ship came opposite to Mr. Constable's, the crew discovered at the window Mrs. Edgar, who had generously honored the ship with the present of a suit of silk colors; immediately they manned ship and gave three cheers. When she arrived abreast of the Old Slip, she was saluted by thirteen guns from his Most Catholic Majesty's Packet, then in the harbor, which was politely returned. She then made sail, and proceeded thro' Queen-street to the fields, when squalls came on, and the wind ahead, she beat to windward by short tacks, in which the pilot displayed his skill in navigation, heaving the lead, getting ready for stays, putting the helm a-lee, by bracing and
counter-bracing the yards, &c. In the fields, she had to descend several hills, in rising which she afforded a delightful prospect to the spectators, her top-sails appearing first, and then her hull, in imitation of a ship at sea; exhibiting an appearance beyond description splendid and majestic. When she arrived at her station abreast of the dining tables, she closed up her top-sails and came to, in close order with the rest of the procession, the officers going ashore to dine. At four o'clock she gave the signal for marching, by a discharge of thirteen guns, when the procession moved by the lower road. The manner in which the ship made her passage thro' the narrow parts of the road, was highly interesting and satisfactory, being obliged to run under her fore-top sail, in a squall, and keep in the line of procession; this was accomplished with great hazard, by the good conduct of the commander and the assiduity of the seamen and pilot; she arrived at her moorings abreast of the Bowling-Green at half past five, amidst the acclamations of thousands; and the different orders in procession, as soon as they were dismissed, honored her with three cheers, as a mark of approbation for the good conduct of the Commodore and his crew.
Pilot Boat.

Artillery and Field Piece.
THE line of procession, containing nearly 5000 people, extended upwards of a mile and a half. The march was slow and majestic, and the general appearance of the scene as far surpassed every one's expectation, as mere description must fall short of it. While numberless crowds were peering on every side, the doors and windows of houses were thronged by the fair daughters of Columbia, whose animated smiles and satisfaction contributed not a little to complete the general joy.
As this splendid, novel and interesting exhibition moved along, an unexpected silence reigned throughout the city, which gave a solemnity to the whole transaction fitted to the singular importance of its cause. No noise was heard but the deep rumbling of carriage wheels, with the necessary salutes and signals. A glad serenity enlivened every countenance, while the joyous expectation of national prosperity triumphed in every bosom. The whole body having arrived at Bayard's house, was disposed in a line and reviewed; after which the various insignia of the procession being left upon the hills, the citizens were conducted to their several dining tables. He is they were honored by the company of Congress, of many foreigners of distinction, and the patriotic and respectable clergy of this city.
The two principal sides of the building provided for this entertainment, consisted of three large pavillions, connected by a colonnade, of about one hundred and fifty feet front, and forming two sides of an obtuse angle; the middle pavillion majestically rising above the whole terminated with a dome, on the top of which was a figure of Fame with her trumpet, proclaiming a New Era , and holding in her left hand the standard of the United States, and a roll of parchment, on which was inscribed in large characters, the three remarkable epochs of the late war; Independence, Alliance with France, Peace . At her side was the American Eagle, with wing extended, resting on a wreath of laurel placed on the top of the pedestal.
Over six of the principal pillars of this colonnade were placed small escutcheons, inscribed with the names of the several powers in alliance with the United States, viz. France, Spain, Sweden, Prussia, Holland, Morocco ; and over these were displayed the colors of their respective nations, which added greatly to the brilliancy of the entertainment, already befittingly decorated with festoons and branches of laurel. The extremities of this angle were joined by a table forming part of a circle, and from this ten more colonnades were extended, each 442 feet in length as the rays of a circle, the whole having one common centre, viz. the centre of the middle pavillion, where sat the President of Congress . At the extremity of each colonnade, was a pavillion nearly similar to the

three before mentioned, having their outside terminated in a pediment crowned with equestrians, on which was inscribed the names of the ten States which had then ratified the Constitution. The whole of the colonnades were adorned with curtains elegantly folded, and with wreaths and festoons of laurel every where interpersed.
In the Area contained within the angle first described, was placed the propæa, but so disposed as not to intercept the prospect from the seat of the president, thro' the whole length of the ten colonnades above-mentioned. This noble and beautiful edifice, erected in less than five days, covered a surface of ground of 885 feet by 600, and was calculated to accommodate six thousand persons.
The taste and genius of Major L'Enfant (so often displayed on other public occasions) and to whom the city is indebted for the design and execution, appeared in the present instance, to have derived additional brilliancy from the dignity of the object, on which it was employed.
Dinner being ended, the following toasts were drank:
 1. The United States.  2. The States which have ratified the New Constitution.  3. The Convention of the State of New-York; may they soon add an eleventh pillar to the Federal Edifice.  4. General WASHINGTON.  5. His Most Christian Majesty.  6. His Catholic Majesty.  7. The States General of the United Netherlands.  8. The friendly powers in Europe.  9. The patriotic framers of the present national Constitution.  10. The memory of those heroes who have fallen in defence of American Liberty.  11. Success to agriculture, manufactures and the sciences.  12. May trade and navigation flourish.  13. The DAY; may the Union of the States be perpetual. 
After each of which, ten cannon were fired; and in order to diffuse the joy to all classes of citizens, an ample proportion of the entertainment was detached to the prisoners in goal.
The repast ended, the procession returned in the same manner, to its place of setting out; and the citizens were dismissed by half past 5 o'clock.
In the transactions of this day, a variety of circumstances might be noted, upon which the reflections of the patriot, the politician, or the philosopher might dwell with pleasure. A procession inexpressibly magnificent—formed not to gratify the pride or ambition of an individual—but to manifest to the world, the attachment of a people to a government, calculated to secure and perpetuate their civil and religious liberties. The mutual confidence and joy of the various orders of the community—all narrow and bigotted distinctions lost, and absorbed in that nobility of all passions, "the love of country." The glorious hope—the emulous and patriotic zeal—the dignified and unsullied harmony of the day:—And it may be added the unsearchable ingenuity of the American mechanic, unfolding itself in the invention of his emblems and motto.
But what most excited surprize, in persons unacquainted with the character of American yeomanry, was, to see a numberless multitude, in view of a tempting collation, not only adhering to every rule of decorum, unawed by a single bayonet or esponton. But tho' under the influence of public passions, verging to enthusiasm, peaceably, at an early hour, retiring without a single instance of rudeness or intemperance.
To conclude this account of a transaction, which will long be remembered, and which reflects infinite honor upon the mild genius of our governments, and the inhabitants of this City. Instead of the trophies of war, and of captives in chains, which graced the triumphs of antiquity, we here beheld the plough, the ship and all the implements of useful arts. The wreath of martial glory was exchanged for the garland of peace; and instead of the painful sensations, which in a humane and liberal mind, would be excited by the triumphal entry of a conqueror, reeking from the blood and slaughter of thousands of his fellow men, the hearts of all the spectators anticipated with rapture the return of concord, of public and private justice, of individual happiness and national glory; the constant attendants of a wise, free and efficient system of government.
