After the regular toasts, ard those
Of the guests had been drunk, the fol-
lowing toasts were given:
By the President: Gen. La Fayette-We
will teach our children to lisp his name; and
our sons to admire and emulate his virtues.
| The reader willreadily imagine how
this Toast was received.
Gen. La Fayette then proposed the
following volunteer toast, which could
not fail to excite the best emotions OF
the hearts Of Americans, whether we
reflect upon the character Of him who
gave it, or of him whose character 1t
| SO truly and happily described
Gen. BoLirar. Who has felt true patriotism,
and understood true glory.
Just before the company left the ia
BILE, Mr.. Adams rose, and addressing
them said, that having, in return for
the honor they had done him, by the
sentiments they had been pleased to ex-
press associated with his name, given
toast of general import, without di-
rect reference to them, he could not
part from them without again return
ing his thanks for the Kindness he had,
this day, experienced. Under the in
fluencc of this sentiment, he would take
leave Of them by proposing
LeesbHg-M May its future prosperity cores
pond with the splendor of the Revolutionary
services of the family from which it aeriyesits
name.
AS soon as Mr.. Adams had conclu-
ded, and his toast had been drank and
cheered, the honored guests retired "a
mid the repeated and cordial greetings
of the company. AS they left the
square the military were introduced to
the General, to the President, and ex-
President, to Col. G.. w. La Fayette,
and NJ. lie Vasseur; during which &C.
remony the band played some fine mar
tial tunes. They then left Leesburg
for the mansion of Ludwell Lee, Esq.
10 which they were escorted by de-
tailed guard ofCavalry, commanded by
Captain Chichester, and by the Mayor
and other gentlemen of the Committee
Of Arrangement. On Wednesday mora
ing Gen. La Fayette and family, and
the President of the United States, re-
turned to Washington, and the EXPIRE
sident to his dwelling in Loudoun.
The assemblage on Tuesday, in
Leesburg, has been supposed to have
consisted of eight or ten thousand per-
sons. Great as the crowd was, no ac-
cident or unpleasant circumstance oc-
Cured, to throw shade of regret over
the enjoyments of day which the CT
tizens of Lees5urg, and Of the county OF
Loudoun, will long remember.
With pleasure we add, that the whole

of Lieutenant Colonels Edwards and
