PROPOSALS
BY SACOR JOHNSON, PHILADELPHIA, FOR PRINTING BY SUBSCRIPTION; THE HISTORY OF AMERICA, CONTAINING
THE MOST REMARKABLE AND INTERESTING EVENTS FROM THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA BY COLUMBUS TO THE PRESENT PERIOD. BY RICHARD SNOWDON.
CONDITIONS.
 1st. This work will be comprised in two volumes duodecimo, bound—the number of pages cannot be precisely calculated, but the publisher supposes each volume will contain about 300.  2d. The price to subscribers will not exceed three dollars—payable on delivery.  3d. A map of North America and of the United States will be given with the work.  4th. Any person procuring subscribers for the work shall be entitled to one copy for every ten he may obtain—being accountable for the amount. 
IT is presumed that the work now offered to the public will meet with encouragement proportionate to the importance of the subject on which it treats. A wish to be acquainted with what has happened in past ages, especially in one's own country, is natural and commendable curiosity; it is therefore surprising that so large a portion of the citizens of the United States are almost totally ignorant of the history of their native country, and of the great events that have taken place from the first discovery of the continent by Christopher Columbus to the present time. This must not, however, be attributed to an indifference in our fellow-citizens about what relates to their country; but rather to the difficulty of obtaining information, which was only to be gathered from voluminous tracts, too expensive to admit of a general circulation. In the work now proposed to be put to the press, this great objection is removed. It embraces all the most interesting events related by former historians, together with a number of anecdotes, and other matter never before published—at a price that will place it within reach of the generality of readers. Subscriptions received by Jacob Johnson , a few doors below the Market , at Ritchie & Worsley's , W. Price , and S. Pleasants' Book-stores . July 2. (epit)
FROM THE (Balt.) EVENING POST.
THE imaginary importance of the government of England, draws to a close. In the two last wars, that with America, and the other with France, she was defeated and disgraced in all her projects; and the present war, as far as it has gone, gives symptoms of a similar fate. There is evidently a madness in her councils (besides the royal madness) that has no foresight, and cannot calculate events. One would suppose, that when a government goes to war of its own choice, and is the first to declare it, (which was the case with the English government in the present war with France,) that it had arranged all its plans, and had every thing in readiness to put these plans in operation the instant it declared war. But this was not the case with the English government; for as it has put no plan in execution, the inference is, that either it had none, or that it was too imperfectly formed to be executed. Take which of the inferences you will, and it shews the incompetency of the English government to the condition into which it has plunged itself. It was laughable enough to see how the British parliament passed away its time in debating whether there was cause for war or not when they declared it. A ministerial victory in parliament does not decide a battle in the field. Philosophers and naturalists have to do with causes, and politicians with consequences. For example, it would have been madness in America to have declared independence, if it had not possessed the means of obtaining it, and the same may be said of every hostile declaration. As far as inferences can be drawn from circumstances, the British government went to war from internal craft, and not from external policy. After the publication in England of a small work of Thomas Paine in the year '96, entitled "Decline and fall of the English system of finance," there was a great run upon the Bank of England, that the bank could not stand it. The directors of the bank made their condition known to Mr. Pitt, who undoubtedly knew it before, but force was become necessary. Pitt, in order to ward off the blow that threatened destruction to the bank, and also to the government, brought a bill into parliament to restrain the bank (for that was the term used) from paying its notes in specie; whereas the note with the bank was, that it could not pay—it had not wherewithal. This act, at first, was only for a few months, but it was afterwards renewed, and continued to be renewed in every session from year to year. By the last renewal, the restraint (as it was called) was to continue 'till some time after the end of the war then going on. But when that time came, the bank could not pay any more than it could before; and therefore the government, after it had made peace, declared war again, and this was made a presence for again floating up the bank.

European Intelligence.
THE NAVY OF GREAT-BRITAIN.
As the fleets of France and her colonies Spain and Batavia, have not only manifested a desire to risk a rencounter with the British, but have actually thrown themselves into the way most likely to prove their relative powers, it may not be impertinent at this time, to give our readers some idea of the British naval force. Some days ago, while offering a conjecture on the probable design of Bonaparte in sending out the late & present detachments, we stated that, in November, the British fleet, in commission, amounted to about 70 ships of the line; we mentioned this number from memory, and we have not had any means of ascertaining its correctness. We are now able to ascertain the strength of that navy on the first of April 1805.
In commission. Ships of the line 105; Forty-fours and Fifties 21; Frigates 141; Sloops and Smaller 428-695. Serviceable and repairing. Ships of the line 15; Forty-fours and Fifties 1; Frigates 17; Sloops and Smaller 1-34. Receiving Ships. Ships of the line 5; Forty-fours and Fifties 4; Frigates 6-15. In Ordinary. Ships of the line 63; Forty-fours and Fifties 12; Frigates 33; Sloops and Smaller 20-128. Building. Ships of the line 15; Frigates 29; Sloops and Smaller 31-66.
Recapitulation. Ships of the line 203; Forty-fours and Fifties 28; Frigates 217; Sloops and Smaller 490. Total Navy of the United Kingdom, 938 vessels. As the distribution of this enormous force has been much changed since the above date, it would be of no use to mention it. For instance the number of vessels then slated to be in the West Indies (generally) is only four ships of the line, sixteen frigates, and fifty sloops, &c. We hope, however, to be in a short time able to ascertain its distribution on the first of May, which will enable us to determine at least the force on the home stations at that period. (Navy Ledger.)
BOSTON, July 4.
By Captain Hillman, arrived yesterday from Amsterdam in 47 days, we have received our regular files of "The Schiedam Mercury," to the 11th of May. They are usual, barren of speculative opinions on public affairs; from them, however, we learn, that his excellency the Pensionary of the Batavian Republic, Rutger Jan Schimmelpennick, arrived at the Hague the 29th of April, took up his residence in the palace called the Old Court, gave audience, and received the congratulations of various persons; and afterwards in presence of the Directory of State, took the oath prescribed by the Constitution; after which the Directory of State laid down their posts, and the new government became constituted; the Legislative body have also dissolved themselves; and nearly all the constituted high colleges have paid their compliments to the Pensionary. The following appointments have been decreed, M. G. C. Hultman, Gen. Secretary of State; M. Van der Goyen, Sec'y of Foreign Affairs; M. G. J. Pymann, Secretary of War; M. H. Van Stralen, Sec'y of Home Affairs; M. H. Van Roben, Navy Department; M. P. DeBeaver, Recorder of the Bureau of State; who have taken the oaths. The members of the Council of State, took the oaths to his excellency the Pensionary, and entered on their functions the 6th of May. The persons who were nominated to form the College of their high mightinesses, representing the Batavian nation, are as follows:—Gelderland, W. G. L. Van Rhenen, and van Velva of Nerven; Holland, van Boetelaar, of Knyffoch, J. Butsch, C. van Forreest, J. F. van Leyden, of Westphalenbrecht, Charles Six, J. van Styrum, and A. P. Twent, of Rasphof; Zealand, W. C. Crans; Utrecht, H. I. van Hensel;—Erfeland, R. L. van Andringa de Kempener, and E. S. C. J. van Burmania Rengers; Overijssel, C. de Vos van Steenwyk, and A. J. Weertz; Groningen, Eppo Cramer, and Van Alberda, of Dykstra; huis—Bramel, P. J. Gynners, and J. E. R. van Hoof. The Recorder of their H. M. is J. Couperus—those persons were to take the oaths at the Hague, and enter on their duties the 15th of May.
TOULON FLEET.
Captain Rowan, whom we mentioned in our last as having met with the Toulon Fleet, has arrived in town. He informs that it was on the 15th or 16th of June in latitude 27, 30, longitude 60, that he fell in with the Fleet, steering N. and by E.—It consisted of 22 sail, eleven of which, he understood to be of the line.—That the Spaniards had left them in matter of conjecture only.—On the 19th of June, in lat. 30, long. 64, Captain R. was boarded from the British 60 gun ship Drake , the officer from which was particular in his enquiries respecting the fleet.
In the Straits of Sunda, Capt. R. spoke the Hector and Pamela of Salem , and Elizabeth of Baltimore , from Batavia for Calcutta, not being able to procure cargoes at the former place. (Boston Pallad.)
NEW-YORK, July 6.
Capt. Main, of the fast sailing and regular trading ship Maria , sailed from Bordeaux the first of June, and has furnished the Editors of this Gazette with French papers up to that date, but they contain but little news.

PARIS, May 21.—Scarcely seated on the throne of Italy, the Emperor Napoleon hastened to make known this event to the Emperor of Germany, King of Prussia and to the King of Spain; he has received from all replies equally satisfactory; these three great powers as well as the electors of the Germanic Body, the regent of Portugal and the queen of Etruria have acknowledged the new organization of Italy.
The war with England may still last for a long time, but we firmly believe that the continental peace will not be disturbed, since the Emperor of Germany, the King of Prussia and the King of Spain act in concord with the Emperor of the French. Well informed men even affirm that Russia has given pacific counsels to England.
Prince Joseph Bonaparte arrived at Ambleteuse on the 15th inst. from Boulogne.
HAGUE, May 10.—Mr. Barranger, cidevant Commissioner General of the Batavian Government at Surinam, was arrested last Wednesday by order of the high military court. It is presumed he will be confronted, before the tribunal, with the commandant Batemburgh, who capitulated with the enemy for the surrender of the colony of Surinam. Mr. Sauter, cidevant Governor of Curacao, who delivered that colony by capitulation to the enemy in 1797, took the oath of allegiance to his Britannic Majesty, and remained in his service in the quality of Governor of the same colony, is also arrested, and is to be tried before the high military court.

On the 5th May, M. Schimmelpennick, in his quality of Grand Pensionary of the Batavian Republic, opened the first session of the States General, under the recent Batavian Constitution. His speech which is of considerable length, contains little that would be regarded either as new or interesting. The deplorable state of the Dutch finances form the principal feature in his address, and it is reluctantly avowed, that the receipts are scarcely sufficient to defray the interest of the debt. He deprecates the idea of any failure in their pecuniary engagement, and proposes to obviate the inconveniences resulting from the deficit, by introducing order and other economy into the national expenditures.
The following account of an attempt to destroy Louis 18th, the Prince of Angouleme, and other branches of the Bourbon family is from a late London paper.
MITAU, April 3.
Yesterday a fire broke out about 2 o'clock in the morning, in the wing of the castle, principally inhabited by the general of artillery and a battalion under his command. In a short time the flames had made such a progress that assistance was nearly useless. If the wind had blown from the west the entire castle would have been a prey to the flames. Messrs. the governor, the deputy governor, and the members of the administration, shewed themselves every where with the greatest zeal, as well as to clear away a magazine of powder, the proximity of which was very dangerous. A party wall, which separated the most elevated part of the wing that was on fire, and which kept back the flames, happily arrested their progress by facilitating the action of the engines.
The count de Lisle, who had awoke at the first beat of the drum, remained the whole night on his feet, surrounded by his highnesses the duke d'Angouleme and the officers of his suite. Fortunately, the gout, which had decreased, did not prevent his walking about and giving the necessary orders.
About 5 o'clock in the morning, at the moment when every person was busy in stopping or examining the progress of the principal fire, a smoke was perceived issuing from the extremity of the wing that was on fire, precisely at the angle which joined this wing to the body of the castle. On entering a small detached chamber they found under a large camp bed, a heap of small billets of wood and lighted rags on the floor. The boards and part of the headboards were already on fire, and in a moment the flames would have become general.
This morning, April 3, smoke was perceived over the apartments occupied by the count de Lisle, which are situated opposite to the wing that has been burnt. The chief of police, and many others, having gone into the garrets, found there, near the fire place, an earthen pot, with the remains of some charcoal burned rags and the floor on fire; fortunately they were able to extinguish it.
Messrs. the governor d'Aufeniew, and the commander of the battalion of fusiliers, with one of the principal officers attached to the count de Lisle, were witnesses to the new attempt, as they were also to the proceeding one.
Undoubted proof has been given of these facts by the governor general count de Buxden who, at the first news of this disaster, went from Siga to Mitau. He examined every thing himself, and gave with the greatest activity the necessary orders for the safety of the castle, where every thing is now quiet. The fire still burns, but only among the rubbish. Only one man lost his life. The commander of the fusiliers received a wound on his head. Many workmen were also wounded.

LONDON, May 18.
The Cabinet Council, which we stated to have been held yesterday at Lord Mulgrave's Office, was summoned in consequence of the arrival of dispatches brought by the Gottenburgh mail from the Courts of St. Petersburg and Sweden. From every information we have been enabled to collect, it would seem that, so far from the ratification of the treaty of Alliance offensive and defensive, between those powers and his Majesty, having been signed, there are still some important points under consideration. Whatever progress may have been effected in this measure, it must certainly come too late to produce any important operations during the present season.
A splendid Russian embassy to China, consisting of several thousand persons, is to set out from Petersburg, on the 24th inst. The Emperor of China has intimated his intention to give a most gracious reception.

MADRID, April 18.
We learn from Aljerez, that on the 18th ult. the Dey, about 10 o'clock in the morning, being seated on a throne, near the fortification, about two miles from the city, and quite alone, was attacked by four well-armed Turks. He was fired upon twice, and received ten wounds from their sabres, by which he lost two fingers of his left hand. The assassins have been apprehended. The Dey was conveyed to his palace. He is at present out of danger. One of the balls fortunately fell upon a purse which the Dey had in a pocket covering his left breast. This attempt to murder the Dey is ascribed to the dearness of all sorts of provision, and which he had neglected to remedy.
CADIZ, April 3.
"General Morau has been much consulted in all our movements. He said the other day, that if we could not take Gibraltar, he would render it not worth the keeping to the English;" and we expect that some serious attempts to burn the town and shipping will be made in the course of the summer."

LEXINGTON, (K.) JUNE 18.
THE party of discovery, under the command of Captains Lewis and Clark, left the mouth of the Missouri on the 18th day of May, 1804. An express with dispatches from their winter quarters which left them the 14th April, has returned to St. Louis. By the express, letters were received from Capt. Clark by his correspondents in Kentucky. A gentleman from Jefferson county, has obligingly favoured the Editor of the Kentucky Gazette with the following account, which he obtained from one of the men who returned with the express, and from letters from some of the party. They fortified themselves in November last, on the bank of the Missouri, 1600 miles from the mouth by actual measurement, in latitude 37, 21, North; called their Fort Mandan, after a nation of Indians who reside in the neighbourhood and who have been very friendly to them. On their passage up, they were delighted with the beautiful appearance of the country for about 500 leagues, or to the mouth of the river Le Plate, which comes from the South; after which to their winter quarters, it is described not to be so fertile. The person who brought the dispatches, speaks of the opening made by the river, being about one mile wide with high cliffs on each side. The bed of the river occupies about a fourth part of it, the remainder of the bottom entirely composed of coarse sand, covered with cotton wood. This bottom is continually giving way either on one side or the other, and gaining on the opposite side. The cliffs in some places are covered with red cedar, which with the cotton wood and a few small black ash trees, are the only timber described to be in that country. From the height, there is not a tree or twig to be seen, as far as the sight can extend, or as they have explored. Out from the river the land goes off perfectly level, with but few exceptions—and their plains are covered with grass. They passed the mouths of a number of streams, the most of which had names given by the French—One they have named Floyd's river, to perpetuate the name of a young man of their party named Charles Floyd, who died much regretted on the 20th August. They represent the Indians to have been friendly, with but a few exceptions. The Sioux are the most numerous, are organized in bands bearing different names, move about from place to place, from the banks of the river out to the plains, in pursuit of game and plunder, having no fixed place of residence, and in a continual state of warfare. These were the most troublesome Indians to the party of discovery, as they expressed a jealousy, least they would supply their enemies higher up with arms, &c. The higher up they went the more friendly they found the savages, and the better armed. They have a more regular trade with the North West company, and the Hudson Bay company; which supplies come to them by the way of Lake Winnepeck. The Mandanes cultivate corn, which is of a small kind, from whom the party was supplied during the winter, and their hunters kept them in abundance of meat.
Buffaloes are said to be in great numbers, and of large size—two descriptions of deer are described; those resembling the common kind of this country being larger, and the tails 18 inches long and the hair much longer on their bodies; the other kind having a black tail. Elk and goats are numerous. The grouse, or prairie hen, are in plenty; and before the closing of the river in the fall, water fowls in abundance. Pigeons, & those principally of the cat kind. Some of the white bear-skins, had been brought to the fort by visiting Indians from higher up; but the party had seen none of those animals. The Indians keep horses, which are used entirely for the chase, and in war.
From such information as they have received of the country above there, it is about 600 miles to the great falls, which are made by a ledge of mountains, called the Rocky Mountains, in which it is presumed the Missouri terminates. At their winter quarters the river is nearly a quarter of a mile wide; is equally as muddy as at its mouth, and has continued its rapidity with very little alteration, as high as they have gone, though it has become considerably more shallow, so that they will not be able to take their large barge any higher. From what information they have obtained of the course of the upper part of the river, they are at the Northwardly part—from where they went up to the falls, is nearly a South course. The description given by M'Kenzie of the head waters of the river, is accurate.
They have sent on to the President of the United States, an accurate journal, with a map of the country through which they passed.
Six of the party were sick back—the party now consists of 28 men, exclusive of the two officers. They have enjoyed perfect health—not one having been sick, except the unfortunate young man before mentioned, and he was taken off in a few hours with a cramp in his stomach. The greatest friendship has existed with the party; and the men who have returned, speak in the highest terms of the humanity, and uncommon pains and attention of both the Captains, Lewis and Clark, towards the whole of them; and that they left them in good spirits, fully convinced that they would winter on the Pacific Ocean.
They were told of six nations of Indians they would have to pass, before they would arrive at the falls, from only one of which, they apprehended any difficulty—they are called the Snake tribe, and reside high up.
Curiosities of different kinds—live beavers, birds, several boxes of minerals, a pair of uncommon ram's horns, from the Rocky Mountains, skins of a new discovered berry, called the buffalo berry, &c. have been brought on by the returned party, and deposited with the commanding officer at St. Louis, to be sent by him to the President.
We expect in a few days further particulars relative to this interesting voyage.
CANANDAIGUA, June 25.
DETROIT IN ASHES.
A letter from a gentleman of respectability at Buffalo Creek, dated the 20th inst. to his friend in this town contains the following distressing intelligence:
By the Schar. Charlotte, Capt. Nixon, who arrived at Port Erie yesterday, we are informed that the whole town of Detroit is totally consumed by Fire, not a single house in the town left standing!
"The fire, it is said, first made its appearance in a stable near the centre of the town, about 9 o'clock in the morning, and such was the rapidity of its ravages that at 12 o'clock not one house remained. The Citadel which was rather detached, and in which were the Barracks, Officers, and Contractor's stores, was entirely consumed."
(Note. Detroit is the seat of government of the Michigan Territory, and contained upwards of 800 houses, built of wood, in a compact manner, and above 2000 inhabitants.) (Merc. Adv.)
NASSAU, June 25.
DECREE.
Of the court of Vice-Admiralty of these Islands, in the case of the American brig Fanny , captain Packard, from the Havana and Matanzas to Providence (R. I.) and sent in by the private armed vessel Mayflower , Capt. George Jackson.
This was the case of an American vessel taken on a voyage from the Port of Matanzas, in the Island of Cuba, to Rhode Island, in America, with a Cargo of Molasses and Sugar. It appeared that the vessel had first gone to the Havana, where she had taken on board a part of her cargo, and from thence proceeded to the Matanzas, where she shipped the remainder, with which she was proceeding to America, when she was captured, and sent in for adjudication.
On the part of the Captors it was contended, that by going from the Havana to the Matanzas, which port neutrals never was allowed to enter for the purposes of trade, in time of peace, the vessel must be considered as engaged in a new and unusual trade, only allowed there now by Spain in consequence of the pressure of hostilities, which entirely precluded the possibility of carrying on that trade in her own vessels, and that the property was therefore liable to confiscation.
On the other hand, it was alleged, on behalf of the claimant, that the voyage was perfectly fair, and such as a Belligerent had no right to interrupt. That the Documents were all formal and regular; and that the vessel and cargo ought to be restored. His Honor the judge by his Decree ordered further proof to be adduced, to prove that neutrals during peace had been permitted to enjoy the trade in which this vessel was engaged, (reserving the right of ultimately deciding upon the question—how far such a trade is allowed during hostilities) and left it open to both parties to enter into such proof.
BOSTON, July 3.
BRITISH INSOLENCE.
The brig Francis , from Bordeaux, which arrived at this port last week, was boarded from the boat of the armed British brig Veteran , commanded by Lieut. John Crooks; the crew of which informed that they were cruising to press seamen. Five Americans had just been forced on board the British vessel; the name of one of these unfortunate men is JOHN BISHOP, who says he is a native of Salem, and has a wife and five children in that town, who depend on his industry for subsistence.

FEDERAL CONSISTENCY.
[Every reader must have noticed the incessant clamours of the opposition papers upon every new appointment to office by the President, of a man friendly to his administration. We beg leave to recommend to them the advice of one of their Leaders, when they had possession of power—Here it is, and after reading it, "let them go to breakfast with what appetite they may." (Egis.)
He (Mr. Sitgreaves) had no objection to declare it to be his opinion, that whenever the administrators of government had deviated from a rule of this kind, (viz. to exclude from public offices all those who were of a different opinion from the Executive,) they had done so to their sorrow, and to their loss, and the experience of government in this respect had produced a sad and awful lesson, which doubtless would have its effect in future. The Constitution and laws of the country have made certain officers necessary, and left it to the Executive to fill them as it pleases. Would Gentlemen say that the Executive ought to appoint persons to office who possessed opinions contrary to its own? If the Executive acted on just principles it would endeavor to give singleness of design to its operations, and could only do this by admitting persons into the government who thought with it—this would be a right, prudent and honorable conduct, and where it has been deviated from government has received an awful lesson for its future conduct.

XXIXTH ANNIVERSARY.
NEW-YORK.
Our National Anniversary was celebrated with a festivity and splendor that has not been equalled for many years. The national standard was displayed from the Battery at sun rise. National flags were exchanged between the city and garrison of Fort Jay, on Governor's Island, at sun rise, at noon, and at sun set. The first brigade of Artillery, under Brigadier General Morton, the legion of uniformed Infantry, under Lieut. Colonel Stedford, with Cavalry, under command of Major Lawrence, paraded on the battery, and went through the customary manoeuvres. His Excellency the commander in chief (Governor Lewis) reviewed the military in person, attended by Major General Stevens, and Brigadier General Boyd, with the officers of their respective staffs. The parade was much more numerous than on any former occasion, and his Excellency expressed great satisfaction at the appearance and discipline of both officers and men. After the review, the military took up the line of march, and proceeded through some of the principal streets, which were lined with spectators. They were followed by a procession, composed of several public societies. On their return to the battery, the line fired a feu de joie in honor of the day, and were dismissed.
Several public and private entertainments were given in the afternoon. The Cincinnati Society dined together according to custom. The officers of the brigade of artillery had an elegant entertainment at Mechanic-Hall, where they were honored with the company of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor. The corporation had a grand dinner at the City-Hall, in the room of the supreme court, which was legantly and fancifully decorated for the occasion, with busts and statues belonging to the academy of arts, valuable paintings, and a grove of lemon and orange trees from the collection of Mr. Grant Thorburn. At the corporation dinner, a number of public characters attended by invitation, among whom was the hon. Robert R. Livingston, late minister at the court of France.
The public gardens were illuminated in the evening, and a brilliant display of fire works was exhibited at Vauxhall. Upon the whole, the day was celebrated in a style of unusual splendor and festivity. (Mam. Chron.)
PHILADELPHIA.
This national festival was never celebrated with more zeal nor with more gratification to the friends of representative government, than on Thursday.
The republican legion, as if it had derived new energy from the recent efforts to divide and destroy them, because they would not disgrace themselves, never appeared to so much advantage, either on the march or on parade—or on their return and retirement to the bosom of their families.
According to the order of the board of officers of the legion, the duties of commandant, were exercised by major Jonas Synnocks, an old revolutionary character, and who in the days of terror was menaced with ruin for adherence to the cause in which he had fought.
The commandant having received the resolutions of the board for the formation of an encampment, the necessary orders were issued by him to the staff, and to the commanding officers of companies.
The first company commanded by capt. Shatler was appointed to act as the advanced guard, and accordingly on Wednesday evening, paraded with their knapsacks and blankets, and taking possession of the camp equipage, occupied the heights near the Upper Ferry, where tents for the two battalions of the legion, for the cavalry, artillery and rifle corps, were pitched, & centinels placed before fun down and the lines kept till sun rise in military order, the watch word STONY POINT—counter sign—WAYNE.
At fun rise the usual salute was fired at the arsenal near centre square, by capt. Powell's company; and answered from camp by a detachment on duty there.
The different volunteer corps according to general orders, assembled in Chestnut-street, between 8 and 9 o'clock, their left on 4th street, cavalry on the banks, the artillery in the centre—and pursued the line of march laid down in general orders, counter marching from the right, down Chestnut to 3d street, thence up to Arch street, thence by 5th into Market-street, and thence by the route of centre square, through Broad-street to the Canal road, and thence to the encamping ground.
Upon entering the camp, the different corps paraded in front of the tents of their general officers, and continued under arms till the salute was fired.
At 12 o'clock the park of artillery under the command of major Shaw, fired 17 rounds which were answered by a similar salute from the arsenal in centre square, after the artillery had ceased; the commandant directed a triple feu de joie , which was fired, with great order and effect under the command of col. Willis, officer of the day, and commander of the 2d. battalion.
The different intervals were occupied by martial airs, and the old yankee doodle , by the band of instrumental music formed by the members of the Republican Greens.
In the suite of the commandant were quarter masters, Dennis and Forsyth, adjutants Duane and Rogers, and several officers of the militia regiments in uniform.
Lieut. Gries, police officer.
Lieut. M'Affey, deputy.
Lieuts. White and Keam, officers of the front and rear guards.
After the salute the several corps were dismissed to their tents, from which they were called by the usual beat of roast beef —at two o'clock.
On the right of the line, a spacious area, forming a glacis to an old British battery and a contiguous breast work, was occupied by tables for each corps. The table of the commandant and his staff formed the eye of the festive scene; the tables of each corps, diverging from that point, like rays from a star—so that the whole formed one splendid company; and yet each company was individual in its economy—each corps having its own waiter and refreshment, and the tables being covered with tents elevated above the ordinary height to admit air and afford a view to each member of the whole.
The several tables thus displayed according to previous arrangement, a toast in the name of each corps was communicated to the central board; and each company then gave their several toasts.
We shall not have it in our power to gratify all our friends by an immediate publication, but they shall be attended to in the order that they have been received.
