Congratulations between La Fayete and tie Off
GERS were then exchanged through the whole circle;
and he was conducted to the marquee, to be intro
duced to the ladies' The scene which now ensued,
to the moment Of his departure from the Square, it
is impossible for us to describe. Hundreds of la
dies Hooked around him in the marquee, to euioy
the satisfaction of grasping his hand. The same
enthusiasm pervaded the whole of the long and
dense line OF citizens Of both sexes, which was form
ed from the marquee to the Western gate. Each
one pressed forward, anxious to grasp his hand and
some time elapsed before he was able to reach the
gate.
AT the Western gate, the General and suite
mounted their carriages, and proceeded 10 H street,
where, in the porch Of MIR. James Lyons house,
he reviewed the passing troops. At the close of
this scene, he was escorted to his quarters, where
the volunteers passed him twice, marching down
and up the street. La Fayette, standing at the win
dow, was salued by The officers OF the companies
and the huzzas Of the assembled citizens
He dned at the Governors, in company with
many OF the Revolutionary officers, and other citi
zens. He did not arrive on the square until near
O'Clock A considerable multitude had assembled
to see him. well to witness the illumination Of
the Obe SKIS and the Pedestal, the fire works. &c
and 10 parlake of the refreshments which were dis
tributed among all, without exception.
About O'Clock the General visited the Thea
tire. The House received him with thunder OF
applause. And when the whole Company came out
to sing +" Aud Lang Syne," with new verses sung
TO the honor OF La Faye.te, the applause was loud
and long," and many an eye was filled with tears.

Therehas been for long time past frontier dis
content on the northern boundaries of the United
States. Our Canadian neighbors have been pecu-
liarly sensitive the subject of ministerial agrees
sion, and talk with alarm aud jealousy on Parliament
ary interference with their internal concerns. The
subject Of complaint is, that il is proposed at The
next session OF Parliament by the ministry to pass
what is called union bill, that is. to unite the gov
ernment of the Upper and Lower Canadas. 1t is
rumored that this high handed measure will take
place without any consultation with the colonies and
lit is added in the Canadian papers that seven-enths
ofthe freehodqrs ofboth provinces petitoned against
liz and not one-tenth in its favor. Our Canadian
neiehburs go on to say it is indeed, now, al
most impossible TO believe that the British Govern
ment has seriously thought Of governing three
fourths of million OF British subjects in North
America otherwise than by the confidence and af
lection Of the people, which can alone be acquired
and preserved by maintaining them in their estab
Iished rights with equal justice to all, without any
distinction whatsoever. Should the contrary, how
ever be the case, or His Ma jestys Government be
inconsderately engaged in measures OF contrary
nature the difficulties OF the Canadas will then have
commenced"
Very we'll gentlemen, go on; this sounds lit
tie like declaration made in document which is
held in high esteem amongst people once the col
onsts of Great Britain Ike yourselves. 1t begins
with such an ominous boldness in phraseclogy as
this, " Well aware that Almighty God hath created
man free.' baltimore .7m.
