CELEBRATION.
On Tuesday the Nations Anniversary was
celebrated from Maine to Georga-every in
dvldual on this vast continent, forgetting his
occupation, joined in the joys of the occasion,
and gave vent 10 feelings peculiar to the
day.
In this city. a brilliant military parade sue
ceeded the salutes of the rising suu-the as
semoied professions of the different Societies
the Vast concourse of citizens of the metro
polis and the adjacent country and villages
thronged our streets; the firing of cannon, &
the ringing OF bells produced an effect that re-
CURES more than our talents TO describe. Not
a cloud was visible in the sky-the shower of
the preceding afternoon was sue ceeded bv a
cool Northwester-and no accident occurred
to mar our happiness.
In the after part of the day, the different
societies and military corps retired to the pla-
ces appointed, for refreshment, where, over
the sparkling glass, vent WAS given to those
national and patriotic illusions which natural
ly arise on such occasions.
In the evening our public gardens were fl
led, fre works were exhibited, and the air
was rent with the approbatory huzzas of the
multitude.
In addition to the briliancy of the city, we
observed from the battery, the ascent of ma
ny beautiful rockets from the Governor's
Hill, on Staten-Island, who had also burning
all the evening, cluster of torches, whose
light appeared to great advantage, from the
elevated ground on which they were placed
Between and 10 O'clock, while the Bat
terry was still thronged with the populace,
the CAR OF NEPTUNE Steamboat passed
with full band of music. chartered by the
Governors Guards for the purpose. The
effect was fine, indeed, & added much to the
pleasure of the evening.
The French fiigate LIfermoine was hand
somely dressed i'll colors, and at shutdown f.
red national salute of 81 guns.
1t ought to be mentioned, that in the after
noon, few sailors who had been Confined in
in Dartmoor Prison, took it into their heads
to pull down the British colors hoisted on bcss
the English vessels-Nthey had hardly hd eqa
the work, before thePolice Office arg S6ere ca
led who soon di1afrssk's'sa SLID 'snein.
