and the Ceremonies the day were con
cIuded by splendid display of fireworks

There was no great Public Dinner to-
day, experience being rather unfavora-
BILE to such, as involving a good deal OF

particularly OF that at the Spring at Ar
lington, held under the Tent of Washing
ton, we are promised an account.
